parent or knows one who is (which is just about everyone reading this), you know there are no hard-and-fast rules to follow when it comes to raising children. That said, you've also learned – or will learn the hard way soon – that some simple do's and don'ts can make life a whole lot easier:
DON'T Let Them Run the Show: While you're dishing out all the praise to build character, don't forget character is a by-product of the rules you teach them to follow consistently. Choices come with consequences, and particularly when they're young, children need to appreciate that consistent, clear-cut consequence B will result from action A every time; not every once in awhile, or when you feel like it, etc. If you don't teach them this rule, they'll effectively run the show; a show you don't want to attend.
DO Give Them Responsibility: Parenting isn't easy, and one overlooked aspect that agonizes many parents is the thought of their child's impending flight from the home to lead their own life. For some parents, this fear can manifest early in conscious or subconscious actions to keep the child "safe and close." If this is you, stop for a moment and reflect on your level of responsibility and accountability – particularly things you wish your parents had taught you (sooner or at all). Can't cook? Don't know how to speak in public? Can't organize your time? Can't keep a clean house? All these responsibilities and countless more develop from experience –the experience your parents gave you when growing up. So teach your children to be responsible, well-rounded adults. If not, you won't have to worry about losing them –they'll be right by your side, sleeping on the couch, asking you for money and complaining when you wonder why they don't have a job.
DON'T Treat Them (Just) Like a Friend: We all want to be our children's "best friend," but unfortunately, we're parents. No matter how hard we try, most children won't tell us everything and won't spend as much time with us as they do their "best" friends. But that's not a bad thing, because while you're trying to be a loving, caring, understanding, appreciative mom or dad who has the "best relationship" with your child, you also have to parent – a duty that often requires suppressing the emotion connection most friends possess. This is particularly relevant when your child does something that angers you, saddens you or otherwise negatively impacts you emotionally. We may scream at a friend. We may ignore a friend. We may shut them out for a few days and "wait" for their apology. We might even move on to a new friend. But these are your children. They deserve a parent. Be the best you can be and in the process, you'll help raise the best person they can be.

Filmed at the Wyndham’s Theatre, where it completes its run on 28 July, the production is based on Grandage’s original 2009 Donmar Warehouse production, that went on to win six Tony Awards including for Best Play and Best Direction of a.” Michael Grandage
“To me the release of the original production of Red in cinemas feels like a natural conclusion to a run that began a decade ago in London. I’m thrilled that a wider audience will get to share in the work of these two extraordinary actors – especially the towering presence of Alfred Molina, who began this journey with Michael Grandage and me so long ago. Working on Red has always been a joy and privilege, and I'm thrilled to have this consummate production of my play preserved on film.” John Logan
“The richness of Red is illustrated by the fantastic acclaim from press and audiences alike and we cannot wait to bring this outstanding production starring Alfred Molina and Alfred Enoch to cinemas across the UK and USA.

Kalanianaole Highway may be hard to pronounce, but it’s the most direct way to take time off from Waikiki and head east. Within minutes of driving along this coastal route, visitors find themselves shedding “city mode” and entering a blissful world of astounding natural beauty.
Whether they’re craving activity and adventure or just a beach without crowds, clients can make a satisfying day of it as they explore the southeastern tip of Oahu. Following are five great things to do once they get there.
Halona BlowholeWay back when Oahu’s volcanoes spewed, some of their molten lava dripped into the ocean and hardened into tubes. One result is Halona Blowhole, a fascinating rock formation. As waves rush toward shore, sea spray shoots up through the tubes, blasting as high as 30 feet into the air. The frothy spectacle is easy to see from a cliffside lookout just off the highway. In between bursts, clients can savor panoramas of the eastern coastline and, on clear days, the neighboring islands of Molokai and Lanai.
Hanauma BayA 25-minute drive from Waikiki, this natural aquarium is teeming with 400 types of fish species. Created tens of thousands of years ago, the volcanic crater evolved into a protected marine life conservation area in 1967. The waters are so pristine that simple knee-deep wading leads to views of tropical wonders, from Moorish idols and yellow tangs to the humuhumunukunukuapuaa (Hawaii’s state fish). First-time visitors are asked to watch a short video about snorkeling responsibly and safely.
Makapuu Point LighthouseOahu’s easternmost point plays home to this 46-foot-tall beacon. Built in 1909, it features the largest lighthouse lens in the U.S. Clients can reach it by hiking up a 1-mile paved path. Once at the top, the vista from a 600-foot-high sea cliff is tough to beat. It’s a swell spot for snapping photos of nearby Rabbit Island, which looks like a swimming bunny, as well as smaller or more distant islands. In winter, breaching and spouting humpback whales put on a show offshore.
Sea Life Park HawaiiThis splashy attraction enjoys a perfect perch overlooking the coast. Clients can keep busy here for hours as they peruse the 300,000-gallon Hawaiian reef aquarium; stroll by the monk seal habitat and seabird sanctuary; and watch performances by dolphins, penguins and sea lions. Visitors can interact with the park’s residents during activities such as dolphin swims and educational talks with trainers. The park’s luau entertains guests as the sun sets.
WaimanaloA quiet coastal town, Waimanalo lays claim to one of Oahu’s longest beaches, which stretches 5 miles. Clients can access the sand from Waimanalo Beach Park, Waimanalo Bay State Recreation Park or Bellows Beach Park. The fluted Koolau mountains provide a dramatic backdrop to the area’s swimmable, turquoise waters. When it’s time for a break from the beach, clients can grab a bite from a few casual eateries that serve plate lunches, poke and local favorites. | https://www.travelagewest.com/Travel/Hawaii/5-Reasons-to-Visit-Southeast-Oahu | 2018-10-15T16:55:51 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
2 Nights Hotel Package in Nainital by Travel Chacha Rs.7555/-
Nainital
Nainital was discovered by an Englishman named P. Barron in 1839. The glorious gem-like lake and the virgin hills appealed to him so strongly that he left a flourishing sugar business to settle here. And so it began. First the holidaying English then the Indian maharajas and then the Indian public. Nainital has never looked back as a summer retreat since. The headquarters of the district by the same name; Nainital is the largest and most popular hill-station of the Kumaon region. Making it your base, you can visit other spots such as Ranikhet, Kausani, Mukteshwar and Almora. The heart of the destination is the Naini Lake named after the emerald green eyes of the Goddess Parvati, who is also the patron goddess of the region. From around the lake rise wooded slopes, one side being heavily populated by a large township. Nainital is also intimately linked with legendary hunter turned conservationist Jim Corbett. He lived here with his family and it is from here that he first ventured on hunting trips in the surrounding forests. Later Corbett was to play an important role in establishing a game sanctuary

The agent of Giuseppe Rossi believes Barcelona cannot afford to buy the Villarreal striker.
Rossi was strongly linked with a move to Barca this summer but the Catalan giants now seem to have turned their attention to Udinese forward Alexis Sanchez instead.
"Barca have never offered 30million euros for Rossi," the player's agent, Federico Pastorello, told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"They have offered less and Villarreal demanded more.
"In the end, they (Barca) have gone for Sanchez, who will join them for around 40million (euros).
"For the time being there are no negotiations in place."
He added: "Rossi wanted to move to Barcelona but now I don't exclude that he will remain at Villarreal for another year."

Looked like an interesting place so I took a chance. The person taking the order said I would pay later. I can see why if a plate of pulled pork, a small side, and a coke was $19.85. I'm from Tucson and this place would be out of business in a week. Won't be back. Average at best, boring presentation, dull BBQ sauce, and just not a great visit. I was there at noon and the place was empty.

Having!
Whether it's your first or fiftieth visit to the island, this house is ideal in every way. It is a lovely size with plenty of communal space a large garden, with cooling plunge pool and sun loungers. The bedrooms are a good size and the en suite bathroom, small but perfectly formed.
The house has every amenity you would need, including a GAS BBQ. (A little tip: We went to the fish market at Oistins and picked up some beautiful sword fish for $16 BBDs that grilled beautifully!)
Location wise, you don't need anything else! A few minutes stroll to shops, bars, restaurants and most importantly a beautiful beach, (definitely go to visit Charles in Tiki Beach bar for cocktails and Matthew in Bert's bar if you are sports fan!) You can also catch the local bus down to Oistins (for the fish fry), into Bridgetown (for shopping) or St Lawrence Gap to meet Frank in Jan Franks bar. The South Coast is definitely where you find great local, reasonably priced food and the big personalities to serve you!
There were 3 adults staying during our visit, but the house would comfortably sleep the full 6 adults. And if you're bringing children, I'm sure the washing machine will come in very useful.
Phillip and Tina were so helpful and friendly, they met us at the house on arrival and showed us how everything worked. Their recommendation of the local Shakers restaurant was also greatly appreciated!
I can't recommend Barbados as a destination highly enough and after many visits to the island, I will certainly be looking to stay at Dayrells Court again! x
So, I was unsure whether to write a review about #5 Dayrells Court, as I didn't want too many people to find out about this fantastic place. Also, as no one else had reviewed the accommodation I was hesitant in booking. How pleased I was with the whole experience with dealing with Tina and Philip, to arriving to the villa. Everything was as pictured, the villa is huge with a fantastic plunge pool in the garden, living and sleeping areas are fabulous. Within easy walking distance to the local Rockley/Accra Beach (one of the best beaches on the island, after visiting a few) I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. I have already booked again for 2015. Fantastic! | https://www.tripadvisor.co.nz/ShowUserReviews-g666611-d5073635-r216288388-5_Dayrells_Court-Hastings_Christ_Church_Parish_Barbados.html | 2018-10-15T18:27:13 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
We stayed her for several days to visit Toronto. 2 blocks from the subway. 10 minute walk to Eaton Center and the Square. Lots of restaurants & shopping. The room was clean and spacious. The bathroom was huge! Staff were very professional, friendly, and easy to find if we needed anything. The elevators were old and slow but not too bad. We didn't eat at the bistro as there are so many options nearby. You can hear city traffic at night. This didn't bother me but woke other members of my family. I wish they had better lighting and an electrical outlet by the mirror outside the bathroom. I would stay here again!More

There are two trips. The 30 minute trip from Virgina City and the round trip from Carson City to Virginia City. We took the trip from Carson City to Virginia City and back via the steam engine. Save your money and find another means of transportation. The steam engine broke down near Gold Hill so we waited for the diesel engine from Virginia City for two hours. When the diesel finally showed up it became evident very quickly this little disel didnt have enough power to get up the incline with two passenger cars filled with people. By the time we finally got to Virginia City we had about 90 minutes to find a place to eat and get back to the station for the return trip to Carson City. Much to everyone's amazement the steam engine that broke down was taking the train back. Not to worry we were told "it's all down hill" . What they didnt tell us the steam engine had to stop every mile to check the bad bearing on one of the driver wheels. In addition when we were moving one to two miles per hour was the norm. All in all a very long day made worse by a very disorganized staff and railroad. We figured this would be a nice way to enjoy Memorial Day weekend 2010, we were wrong. Finally as if the whole experience wasnt bad enough when we emailed our concerns to [-] we never got a reply. Our phone call to the visitor center was another waste of time. "Tough" was the answer of the day.

It is a small place to see and probably would only take an hour and with the heat the day we went that was enough. We could walk there from our hotel. Very cheap. A good cheap outing which offers alot of pictures. The kids loved it because so many Iguanas I loved it because i got a kick out of all us totally wet with sweat. It seemed hotter at thre place then rest of Cancun. Maybge because of the sun hitting off the ruins and no shade.

The living area was spacious, kitchen well equipped and the location was great for crab fishing, harbour walks and eating out. The Caribbean restaurant Pepper Shack was great but we were disappointed with the Crab Quay House restaurant. We saw seals down near the car park and took advantage of the car park pass which we were able to use when visiting Paignton and Torquay. Great idea thanks. We may well use the cottage again if we visit the area in future.
A little gem of a apartment. Tucked away quietly near the fish market but so peaceful. ideal location to base you and your family to explore South Devon. The apartment was spotless when we arrived and a little extra something was left for us in the name of some wonderful devon fudge for me and a crabbing set (which you will use) for my son. This is a two bedroom apartment with a double on suite and a twin on suite. Thee is also a third toilet should you need it.
The Kitchen is fitted out with all that you will need for a stay including microwave, dishwasher, and even a washing machine and dryer should you need it.
This accommodation is perfect and just what you should expect from a 5* apartment.
We will be back thats for sure.
although I had to leave early the apartment was spotless and tucked away enough to be quiet but very close to everything .,Everything you could want was supplied and a few more items that in my opinion make you stay that little better than average ,I would not hesitate to recommend a visit,
We booked this quite late following a glorious sunny weekend. We should have known that it would be wet and windy when we arrived! This didn't detract from a lovely few days that we spent here.
The apartment is well placed close to the Harbour and has views of it so you can watch the fishing boats come and go. It is accessed by a few steps but even this old boy could mange them comfortably!
The apartment is spacious and well appointed. It has a large lounge area with comfy sofas with a dining area attached. The two bedrooms both have on-suites and there is a separate loo as well. A well appointed kitchen completes the layout. It's well worth looking at the tour of the apartment on Google Maps as it shows the layout of the apartment well with no dodgy camera angles.
Finally, Rachel was extremely helpful - an excellent host.

Excellent value for money, we had an Itison deal, lunch was excellent and golf view room nice, but in need a sofa or more comfortable chairs plenty space. Disappointed with the swimming pool area, felt dated

My plan to buy an auxiliary power unit (APU) has been put on hold. Fortunately, the mild weather at this time of year means that I wouldn’t have seen much benefit from having one anyway.
The reason I’ve put it on hold is the price; because of the disparity between the US and Canadian dollar the price has jumped a whopping $3,000.
However, that doesn’t mean it’s not happening, but I’m having to think outside the box a little.I mentioned to the salesman that I was considering the electric APU and he was not overly enthusiastic about them at first, because he wanted my purchase to be the right one for my operation. The electric APU has limitations; not unexpected really as it runs on batteries which only have a certain amount of power before they run out of juice. The diesel-powered versions will run for much longer as long as there’s a larger supply of fuel available.
The electric versions also don’t have an in-built engine heating feature, which is achieved by the diesel-powered ones by circulating coolant. Obviously the electric version doesn’t charge the vehicle batteries either; if it could do that it would be a perpetual motion machine and that has yet to be invented.My operation involves running back and forth across the Prairies, so I’m not going to need air-conditioning as much as I would if I ran to the southern states.
With a little bit of forward planning I’m convinced that an electric APU would more than meet my cooling requirements. If I get the cab nice and cool before I shut down the big engine for the day and use the cab curtains to keep the sun out, the draw on the electric system will be much less than flicking a switch and letting the machine do all the work. Heating will not be a huge issue either. I have a bunk heater which keeps me nice and toasty, but when temperatures drop there comes a point when it cannot put out enough heat.
That point is not too far away from the time when a diesel-powered APU alone is not enough and I would be running the big engine anyway, so again I think I could manage.
The thing that puts me off is the cold starting ability.
As I said earlier, there is no coolant circulation, so the engine will be cold, the batteries will be in reasonable shape, apart from the cold which reduces their effectiveness. But I have a good set of deep-cycle batteries and I could invest in one of those starter modules that claim to be able to provide enough cranking amps from batteries that are only holding six volts and in temperatures as low as -50 C. They’re not cheap, but you get what you pay for.
An independent diesel-powered engine block heater will solve the cold engine problem. They run off battery power too, but if it’s wired to draw from the electric APU then it should keep my truck batteries healthy enough to provide sufficient amps for easy starting and those block heaters get the engine up to normal operating temperature in a reasonably short space of time, so the load on the truck batteries will be minimized. Of course I could just hook up an extra set of batteries, fit a split charging system and MacGyver everything else to fit my needs.
There would inevitably be a cost savings in doing this, but I have another trick up my sleeve, thanks to the APU salesman. He had sold a number of electric APUs to a fleet that already had the diesel-powered versions. Now, as I’ve said there are limitations to the electric version and this did not please the drivers at the company involved. Their work led them to the hotter parts of the US and they were having to run the truck after five or six hours as the batteries were drained trying to keep the truck cool. The drivers, fed up with waking up in a red hot truck halfway through their 10-hour break did what anyone would do in that situation and just ran the truck all night. This led to the company removing the electric APUs and refitting the diesel-powered versions.
To me it means that there are a bunch of nearly new electric APUs sitting in the corner of a shop somewhere. The salesman is trying to get a hold of one of them for me and although prices have yet to be discussed, I’m sure there will be a significant savings involved for me. It will also help the original purchaser of the electric APUs as they will make a little bit of money back (hopefully very little) and the salesman is looking after his existing customer and getting me the best deal possible – that’s not a story we hear often anymore.
I’m optimistic that this could actually work out in my favour. Apart from replacing batteries and maybe topping up refrigerant levels every few years, I will have zero running costs. I will have to buy an engine heater and possibly the starting module and I’m going to speak to my dealer to see if there’s any way I can get the factory system that fires up the engine when the batteries get low, fitted to my truck.
Such a system does exist and I’m thinking that I could have that in conjunction with the electric APU, engine block heater and starting module and have a system equal to a diesel-powered APU for a fraction of the cost. Time will tell.

It’s too bad that shore power isn’t available, even if it is only used as a supplement to the electric APU to run the on-board heating or AC and accessories, block heater, and to charge the batteries. I believe that if there were at least some shore power equipped parking places available everywhere truckers park it would becomes a very viable option.
What I also find interesting about this article is a driver trying to do something about reducing idling. From my experience with visiting several truck stops, at least along the east coast and a few in the Midwest of the lower 48, a majority of drivers still idle. There are so many reasons not to, such as fuel and money savings, engine wear and tear commensurate with lower engine operating hours, driver health, and usually a fairly good return on investment, that I find it curious that so many drivers still idle. | https://www.trucknews.com/features/weak-loonie-puts-apu-plans-on-hold/ | 2018-10-15T16:54:18 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
MONTREAL, Que. — Canada’s leading rail freight movers are showing signs the economic slowdown as lower traffic levels begin to eat into their revenues.
Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) warned investors yesterday they could expect sharply lower profits for this quarter, at the same time the chief executive of Montreal-based Canadian National Railway (CN) announced his company will maintain profit levels, but not without more cost-cutting.
CPR, recently spun off from Canadian Pacific Ltd., is calling for basic earnings of 66 cents a share for the fourth quarter, compared with $1.62 a year earlier. Chief executive Robert Ritchie tells local media the company’s higher debt load since it was spun off from parent CP is what will drive earnings to the cellar.
On the operating side, he said shipments of coal, forest products and intermodal containers will be strong in the coming months, but more than offset by declines in grain, fertilizer and industrial products like steel, plastic pellets and cement.
CN chief executive Paul Tellier told the same group of investors in New York that revenues at the larger railway will definitely drop during the next few quarters, but he believes CN will be able to maintain earnings by cutting expenses.
Analysts expect CN to earn $1.28 a share in the current quarter, and CN spokesman Mark Hallman says, “We’re comfortable with that. We have no plan to revise downwards.” This would actually be an improvement from the $1.20 earned this time last year.

Instead of son of a bitch, it should be bitch of a son.
It focuses the insult more on the son rather than his poor mama, and the aphronym would be BOS, so you could say “OkAy BOS” without them realizing you’re actually insulting them. It’s the perfect flawless crime against humanity.
Edit: I now noticed that you could say this to the rhythm of “Bitch I’m a cow”. May or may not be relevant, but take from it what you may.

hey, this is a little reminder to put yourself out there even if you feel like your style isn’t ‘good enough’ yet
the quality of your content is always going to shine through more than the mechanics of it, waiting to ‘catch up’ isn’t always going to work
think of ONE who did One Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100, two hugely popular series
this is how he started out drawing:
ONE’s art style improved every step of the way! Especially for MP100
And it tbh didn’t matter that it started off shaky bc the story, characters, and humor shone through and made the content more compelling than the style itself
don’t be afraid to put your self out there if you have an idea you’re passionate about, waiting until it’s all ‘good enough’ may put off starting altogether, it may make it so we never get off the ground bc that day will never come
👍🏻

Search teams were to resume looking for a Minnesota hiker who’s missing after he fell 100 yards during a semester-abroad trip in India.
The Minneapolis-based Star Tribune reported that Tom Plotkin, 20, of Minnetonka was presumed dead after falling Thursday while hiking above the Ganges River. The search for him is expected to resume today.
Family friend Phil Forve said Plotkin was hiking on a trail with five students near Munsiyari, India, when he twisted his ankle and fell down a steep drop to a boulder-strewn ledge.
Forve said Plotkin is a junior international business major at the University of Iowa. He had enrolled for a semester in the National Outdoor Leadership School of Lander, Wyo.
Plotkin’s mother, Elizabeth Brenner, said her son left for India in August.

A self-sacrificing spider, a green ogre and siblings with superpowers are among the characters that will hit the stage next season at the Children’s Theatre Company.
The 2013-14 season includes well-known stories “Charlotte’s Web” and “Shrek,” reprises of “Cinderella” and “The Cat and the Hat,” a visiting puppet group from Canada, and three premieres of newly commissioned plays.
The season opens with an adaptation of E.B. White’s classic, “Charlotte’s Web,” (Sept. 17-Oct. 27) directed by Greg Banks, the British director who just finished directing a playfully inventive “Pinocchio” for the CTC.
“It’s perhaps one of the best stories about devotion, friendship and sacrifice,” artistic director Peter Brosius said about the tale of Wilbur the pig and Charlotte the spider.
The theater turns from the familiar to something brand new with “The Wong Kids in The Secret of the Space Chupacabra Go!” (Oct. 8-Nov. 17). It is a co-production with Ma-Yi Theater Company in New York City, which is known for producing plays for adult audiences by Asian-American writers exploring Asian-American identity. Several years ago, CTC commissioned playwright Lloyd Suh to write a play for kids. The result is a sci-fi adventure inspired by anime about a brother and sister with superpowers who have to work through their bickering to save Earth. The show will go to New York after it premieres in Minneapolis.
For its holiday show, CTC will bring back its 2009 slapstick “Cinderella” (Nov. 12-Jan. 5), a version of the fairytale inspired by the British panto tradition of musical comedy and starring cross-dressing company members Dean Holt and Reed Sigmund as the stepsisters.
“They will reprise their roles as two of the most beautiful women to ever hit the stage,” quipped Brosius.
Another guest company, the Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia, will perform “The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Other Eric Carle Favorites” (Jan. 14-Feb. 23). The puppet group was a favorite when it performed in 2009 at the Flint Hills International Children’s Festival at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts. CTC will present several performances in Spanish and French, a first for CTC.
The premiere of “The Scarecrow and His Servant” (March 11-April 6, 2014) is an adaptation by local playwright Jeffrey Hatcher of Philip Pullman’s book about a scarecrow who comes to life when struck by lightening and sets off like Don Quixote on a quest with a faithful orphan boy, Jack.
Another new commissioned work, “Balloonacy” (March 25-May 4, 2014), was originally slated for the 2010-11 season but canceled because of post-recession budget tightening. With revenue back on track, Brosius is excited to refocus on the theater’s pioneering work with toddlers and preschool audiences. Even before its premiere, “Balloonacy” already has snagged a distinguished play award from the American Association of Theatre in Education.
It’s a wordless, one-man show, full of physical expression and comedy. A lonely man suddenly finds his home invaded by a balloon. He pushes it out a window. It comes back. He pushes it out again. It keeps coming back.
“It won’t leave him alone,” says Brosius. “And he’s forced to negotiate with it, and they become friends and slowly find their way to playing. It’s about the potential for joy and play and friendship. It’s about opening the human heart. We’re so excited about where this is going.”
The big spring musical next season will be “Shrek the Musical” (April 22-June 8, 2014), which Brosius calls “a gorgeous spectacle about what it means to not fit in.” The season wraps up with a summer reprise of “Dr. Seuss’ The Cat in the Hat,” (May 22-July 20, 2014), which sold out at CTC last fall. It seems only fitting that The Cat in the Hat comes back.
Season tickets are available starting Thursday, Feb. 28, starting at $69 per adult and $39 per child for a three-play package. Single tickets will go on sale July 23. Call 612-874-0400 or visit childrenstheatre.org.

Expert team brings complex cardiac care to community hospital
February 21, 2018
Heart failure patient Michael Sachell and Abed Dehnee, MD, an interventional cardiologist at the University of Chicago Medicine at Ingalls Memorial Hospital.
Working in construction, Michael Sachell is used to lifting heavy loads and climbing flights of stairs. So in early 2017, when the 55-year-old found he could barely walk up a few steps without getting short-of-breath, he was worried.
"It just got worse and worse as time went on,” said the Lansing, Ill., resident.
Sachell decided to seek care at the University of Chicago Medicine at Ingalls Memorial Hospital, where interventional cardiologist Abed Dehnee, MD, diagnosed him with congestive heart failure and identified a blood clot in his lung.
"His heart was weakened, working at 35 percent," Dehnee said. "I reviewed his echocardiogram personally, and found he had severe leakage of the mitral valve."
Due to Sachell's congestive heart failure and a blood clot, he could not receive surgical repair for the mitral valve until his other issues were stabilized.
Dehnee instructed Sachell to begin a regimen of a blood-thinning medication and one for heart failure to help his heart cope with the mitral valve leakage. However, the valve continued to weaken, leaking blood that moved into his lungs. Sachell’s symptoms continued, and he was repeatedly admitted back into the hospital.
During an admission in November 2017, Dehnee told Sachell he was "tuned up enough" to undergo surgery.
"I was in and out of Ingalls every few months, and I got tired of that," he said. "So I said, ‘OK, sign me up.’ They were ready for me. You should have seen all the nurses and experts they sent in."
One of those experts was renowned cardiothoracic surgeon Daniel G. Ciaburri, MD. He collaborated with Dehnee on Sachell’s case in preparation for the critical two- to three- hour open heart surgery. Ciaburri said Michael’s condition was especially delicate.
"Multiple health issues combined with a weak heart muscle increased the stakes for this complex surgery," Ciaburri said. "He had class four heart failure, which is the highest. That made the surgery more risky for him."
"In a community hospital setting, it is unique to have a surgeon who is skilled in mitral valve repair," Dehnee said.
Ciaburri successfully repaired Sachell’s heart valve during the procedure. He was up and walking around two days after surgery and back home within the week.
While he recovered, Sachell said Ciaburri checked in with him over the phone several times. Sachell also followed up with Dehnee, who cautioned him to take it easy, even though he was eager to get right back to working, step-dancing and traveling.
Though he remains sore from the surgery, Sachell is recovering well. He said he feels blessed by the care he received, adding, "If I hit the lottery, I’m going to donate a couple million to Ingalls. They saved my life."
While Sachell’s condition isn’t uncommon, Dehnee said Ingalls is fortunate to have a surgeon with the expertise of Ciaburri, who recently came on board to lead the open heart, thoracic and vascular surgery program at UChicago Medicine Ingalls Memorial.
"In a community hospital setting, it is unique to have a surgeon who is skilled in mitral valve repair," Dehnee said. "It’s a very delicate valve, and the successful repair depends on surgical expertise."

Chaos comes in many shapes and forms, but none of them takes my breath away like this new adidas X Dark Space incarnation. I mean just look at it…

Chaos comes in many shapes and forms, but none of them takes my breath away like this new adidas X Dark Space incarnation. I mean just look at it…
There are things in life you can always count on: The sun will always rise in the east and set in the west. Arsenal will never ever win the Champions League. AND(!) blackout football will always look nice! With the new Dark Space from the Limited Collection adidas have turned down the light completely and delivered both a X 16+ PureChaos and X 16.1.
There is only 10 days until European club football really kicks off again and maybe that’s why adidas introduce this Dark Space collection right now. Because you know what they say, the night is darkest before the dawn. We will probably not be seeing any big stars wearing these blackouted boots, but you can be absolutely certain that we will feature them in our boot spots if anyone does decide to wear them.
The new adidas X football boots can be pre-ordered today and will be sent tomorrow. My advice is to hurry up if you want them, because these will not stay for long!
Get your new X 16+ PureChaos and X 16.1 football boots right here. | https://www.unisportstore.com/blog/4668-adidas-x-dark-space-your-new-dream-boot/ | 2018-10-15T18:27:50 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
It was little more than a year ago that two earthquakes shook Mexico. One had a magnitude of 8.2 and the second one of 7.1, leaving homes, schools and entire blocks completely inhabitable or with extensive damage.
For many, it brought back memories of the massive earthquake back in 1985, when Mexico came together to dig out the rubble of 400 fallen buildings in Mexico City. Last year's earthquakes brought out the best in our people once again. People of all ages, and from all walks of life, came out to assist, to organize collection centers, shelters and help with other efforts to meet people's needs.
After the first earthquake, Fondo Unido (United Way México)’s Emergency Relief and Reconstruction Fund was activated. It was designed to help affected communities in three areas: humanitarian relief, resilience and economic reactivation, and reconstruction with a social focus.
People came together around this recovery effort, raising almost $500,000 pesos on a crowdfunding campaign supported by individuals, and more than $56 million pesos in donations from 50 companies and eight international organizations. Over the last year, United Way México has been working to put those donations where they're needed most. So far, they've assigned almost 99 percent of the available resources to 67 initiatives -- making a difference for 119,776 people in 80 communities.
Since the first rumblings of the earthquakes, United Way México coordinated a network of allies to mobilize in-kind donations of 1+ million critical items, like food, medical supplies and hygiene products.
Club Santos Laguna, the current soccer champion in Mexico and partner of United Way, promoted a crowdfunding campaign and involved different players in giving messages on social media for supporting the cause.
Many other companies started internal fundraising campaigns, got international grants and found ways to donate through the United Way Worldwide Mexico Earthquake Recovery Fund. Some even organized volunteers to help in reconstruction, making kits and working directly with communities to train them on prevention and resilience.
It's been quite a year -- one that has left us with many lessons learned. Thanks to the will and solidarity of thousands of people around the world, more than 100,000 thousand lives have been changed in the most affected areas of Mexico.
We want to give a big thank you to the global United Way network that supported us:
- United Way Worldwide
- United Way Miami-Dade
- Community Chest of Korea
- United Ways of Texas
- United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut
- United Way of Harrisonburg and Rockingham Co., Inc.
- Fondo Unido Chihuahua
Looking back, the digging out reinforced for Mexicans the power of bringing people together to join the fight. When we work together, we can do amazing things.

SportsPulse: USA TODAY Sports' Jeff Zillgitt discusses the startling trends that could lead to a shocking early exit for LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. USA TODAY Sports
The Indiana Pacers defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 92-90 in Game 3 of their first-round Eastern Conference series on Friday, taking a 2-1 series lead.
Cleveland had a 17-point halftime lead and took a 71-63 lead into the fourth quarter, and this season a Cavs’ lead headed into the fourth quarter had meant victory. Cleveland was 40-0 with a lead after three quarters this season until Friday’s loss. Bojan Bogdanovic picked a perfect time to score a career-high 30 points, including seven three-pointers.
Game 4 is Sunday in Indianapolis with Indiana in position to take a 3-1 lead.
Here are five reasons the Cavs are in trouble and the Pacers can win this series.
1. Pacers match up well with the Cavaliers
Their Game 1 victory wasn’t a fluke and neither was their Game 3 victory. Coach Nate McMillan’s team plays solid offense and defense, they’re not afraid of the three-time defending Eastern Conference champions and they don’t panic no matter how far behind they are against Cleveland. They were down 57-40 at halftime and made it a close game for the final quarter. Don’t forget, Indiana beat Cleveland three of four times in the regular season.
2. Pacers know how to stop LeBron James
It’s impossible to eliminate James’ impact on a game, but the Pacers have made it difficult for James to dominate. Lance Stephenson, Bogdanovic and Thaddeus Young – plus help defenders – have kept James in check as much as that’s possible. Indiana’s other defenders have done their job, too. Cleveland had just 20 points in the first 19 minutes, 30 seconds of the second half. The Cavs were 9 for 28 from the field and 1 for 12 on three-pointers and committed 10 turnovers in that stretch

- Steph Curry to begin practicing with Warriors, making 'progress' on MCL injury
3. The Cavs aren’t getting enough help from players not named LeBron James or Kevin Love
James had 28 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists and Love had 19, but the rest of the team weren't significant contributors on the offensive end. Kyle Korver (zero points) and J.R. Smith were a combined 3 for 14 from the field. While George Hill had a decent game with 13 points, they’re not getting the necessary scoring production from Larry Nance Jr., Rodney Hood and Jordan Clarkson. This Cleveland roster hasn’t had a ton of time together since the big trade deadline deal in February, and that lack of chemistry/familiarity is hurting Cleveland.
4. The Cavs can’t hit their three-pointers
One of the best three-point shooting teams in the league, Cleveland shot just 31.3% in Game 3 and just 23.5% in Game 1. For a team that relies on the three ball, not making them has been detrimental.
5. Cleveland just can’t sustain the defensive effort for an entire game
The Cavs have held Indiana under 100 in all three games but when they needed stops in this series, the Cavs had serious trouble preventing Indiana from scoring. Victor Oladipo has done his thing (18 points in Game 3), and Bogdanovic not only is making an effort defensively against James, he torched Cleveland for 30 points in Game 3. He buried 7 of 9 threes. Young had 12 points.

It's rare for a rivalry to face calls for both teams to ratchet down their aggression, but the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals have acknowledged a desire to keep things under control ahead of their grudge match.
The latter of last season's showdowns was a flashpoint for that animosity, as the teams combined for 20 flags, nine of which were for unsportsmanlike conduct or unnecessary roughness. And with the NFL further prohibiting the use of the helmet, there will be less leeway for the kind of hits leveled by Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, who knocked out linebacker Vontaze Burfict and then celebrated while standing over him, and Bengals safety George Iloka, who doled out a headshot to wide receiver Antonio Brown.
Regardless of the bad blood, Sunday could prove to be a defining day in the AFC North race. The Steelers' once off-kilter offense found its footing in a 41-17 win over the Falcons, but the Bengals have jumped to a lead in the division thanks in part to an opportunistic defense that has been able to overcome its deficiencies.
Perhaps the biggest matchup hinges on Bengals cornerback William Jackson III, the burgeoning star who held Brown to zero catches on eight targets when the two faced off in last year's games. Rookie Jessie Bates' range in coverage also will be vital, as Pittsburgh's receivers provide game-breaking potential.

MORE: 'He is absolutely the real deal,' Jerry Jones says of Jason Garrett
Bengals defensive tackle Geno Atkins, who is tied for the league lead with six sacks and commands consistent double teams, will be counted on to continue to create havoc up front. But offensive guard David DeCastro and the rest of the Steelers line haven't flinched often this year, ranking No. 4 in pass-blocking efficiency and allowing pressures on just 24.8% of all dropbacks, according to Pro Football Focus. If Atkins and Carlos Dunlap can't generate heat on Ben Roethlisberger, it could spell trouble given that Cincinnati ranks second-to-last in third-down conversion rate allowed (52.7 percent).
The wild card for both sides may be Burfict, who will be playing in his just second game since suffering a concussion in December's melee. While the talented linebacker has shown he can be a difference maker, his proclivity toward running hot and generating penalties could change the complexion of the game.
Here are four more matchups that will define Week 6 in the NFL:
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes vs. Patriots' pass rush
Relative to his typically restrained assessments, Bill Belichick has been effusive in his praise of Kansas City's second-year standout and his arm strength, saying that his ability to get the ball downfield forces teams to defend much more space. But it's Mahomes' mobility that should be of more worry, as he could continue to strain secondaries by extending plays and creating more opportunities for his playmakers.
For New England, containment might be a priority over full-on pressure. While the Patriots' pass rush isn't deep or at its most disruptive, it has experience on this front after facing the Houston Texans' Deshaun Watson in Week 1. If Mahomes is given the same opportunities that he has been able to create so far this season, New England will be at risk of giving up the same kind of long scores that undid the team in last year's 42-27 loss to Kansas City.
Titans QB Marcus Mariota vs. Ravens secondary
Still playing with a partial glove on his throwing hand, Mariota hasn't been quite right for most of the year. He has been held to fewer than 130 passing yards in all but one of his games this season, a Week 4 breakout win over the Eagles. But with Derrick Henry and Dion Lewis combining to average 3.3 yards per carry, the Titans don't have much recourse for lightening their reliance on Mariota.
Awaiting Tennessee might be one of its most formidable opponents yet in a Baltimore defense that ranks as the NFL's best in completion rate allowed (54.8 percent) and opposing passer rating (71.8) and yards per attempt (5.9). The Ravens boast a deep and talented secondary, so Mariota might have to continue to provide a spark by taking off outside the pocket.
Dolphins OT Ja'Wuan James vs. Bears LB Khalil Mack
Injuries have turned Miami's offensive line into a patchwork product, and the pressure allowed by the front last week in a loss to the Bengals led to two fourth-quarter defensive touchdowns. Now that same unit has to account for Mack, who has five sacks and four forced fumbles in four games.
The expected return of Laremy Tunsil at left tackle should help the unit avoid the kind of collapse it experienced against Cincinnati when he exited, but James is the one who likely will face Mack for most of the day. With Brock Osweiler stepping in for the injured Ryan Tannehill, Miami will have even less room for error against the Bears' pass rush.
Jaguars RB T.J. Yeldon vs. Cowboys LBs Jaylon Smith and Leighton Vander Esch
With Leonard Fournette out another week because of a hamstring injury, Yeldon will again shoulder a significant load as Jacksonville's lead back, even after the signing of Jamaal Charles. The fourth-year veteran has averaged 86 rushing yards per game in the three contests that Fournette has missed. The Jaguars also are likely in line for an offensive recalibration after Blake Bortles threw 99 passes in the last two weeks.
Dallas' defense, however, has allowed just 3.4 yards per carry. Smith and Vander Esch are among the brightest spots for the unit, giving the Cowboys a tandem of linebackers with impressive range in coverage and run support. Dallas will also benefit from the expected season debut of defensive tackle David Irving, who missed the first four games due to suspension and last week due to personal issues.

Residents and municipalities in Canada’s British Columbia are expected to oppose the expansion of a Kinder Morgan Inc (NYSE:KMI) pipeline on the grounds that allowing it will cause damage to sensitive ecosystems, adversely impact homeowners and harm public trails and parks. Starting Monday the NEB – National Energy Board, will hold hearings in north Surrey, Coquitlam and Burnaby.
One of the major opponents of the project by Kinder Morgan Canada is Burnaby and the municipality will be allowed three days to make presentations at the hearings. A statement has already been issued by the municipality saying that there are unacceptable and significant environmental, financial as well as social risks that the city will be exposed to if the pipeline passes through.
Strong opposition
“Because of the damage and disruption it would cause to the city and Metro Vancouver’s environment, economy and neighbourhoods — in perpetuity — the City of Burnaby is determined to ensure that this route is never approved,” said the mayor of Burnaby, Derek Corrigan, in a statement.
The pipeline project which is 1,147 kilometers long was approved by the Canadian government in November 2016 with the size of the corridor stipulated to be 150 meters wide. A detailed approval process of the route will determine exactly where the pipeline will be placed. Hearings on the matter were started by the NEB in late November last year and so far some segments in Alberta and eastern British Columbia have been approved.
Since 1953
The existing pipeline has been transporting oil to a terminal in Burnaby from Edmonton since 1953. At the time there were fewer developments along the route compared to the case now. Currently the planned route cuts through roads and runs near buildings and residential areas.
With regards to Coquitlam, the city claims that the planned route will have a negative impact on operations of the municipality. According to an engineering report compiled two years ago, Coquitlam says that additional costs totaling more than $28 million will be incurred by the city in the next five decades in rehabilitation and maintenance works around and along the proposed pipeline. As a solution Coquitlam suggested that the proposed pipeline be rerouted away from municipal roads and highways and onto private property. Owners of private land have also raised their own concerns. | https://www.usmarketsdaily.com/hearings-to-begin-on-planned-kinder-morgan-inc-nysekmi-pipeline-route-46387 | 2018-10-15T17:24:55 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

One 2 One bought by Germany's Deutsche Telekom
by Andrew Craig, VNU Newswire
Deutsche Telekom has bought UK mobile operator One 2 One for £8.4 billion bringing the German telecom giant's European mobile subscriber base to 12 million.
Analysts said the deal gives One 2 One strong financial backing to move into the business market in the UK, to support its rollout of broadband mobile services and to develop international partnerships.
One 2 One, which has around 2.65 million UK subscribers, has been up for sale since March when its current owners Cable & Wireless and Media One announced their intention to sell or float it. (see Newswire 28 March)
Months of speculation over who would buy One 2 One followed, with Deutsche Telekom always seen as a strong contender and known to want to invest in UK telecoms.
Telekom's chief executive Ron Sommer said the purchase of One 2 One was of "vital importance" to the German operator's international expansion plans.
"It meets two of the core requirements in our growth strategy - continuing to expand our highly successful mobile communications business in Europe, and establishing a strong presence and a solid basis for growth in the United Kingdom," said Sommer.
"We are acquiring an attractive and well established mobile communications network operator with a strong brand name and a substantial potential for growth in one of the EU's primary markets," he added.
Users in the UK can expect One 2 One to turn its attention to the business market, where it has a low profile at present, and to broadband mobile data services, according to analyst Bernt Ostergaard at Giga Information Group.
"They've got to move into being a business provider. Deutsche Telekom will also have to help them become a more internationally aligned player - it doesn't have strong international partners," he said.
Deutsche Telekom's arrival in the UK will be more bad news for BT, which last week saw France Telecom arrive here with an investment of $5.5 billion in UK cable operator NTL after it agreed to buy the consumer business of Cable & Wireless Communications. (see Newswire 26 July)
Ostergaard said today's deal was as much a political move as strategic move by the German operator.

Next iPhone rumoured to be undergoing field tests
New year brings fresh round of Apple rumours
Apple has begun field tests of its next iPhone model according to reports.
Developers have begun spotting references to both a new iPhone and an iOS 7 build in their log files, according to a report from The Next Web. The report cites an "iPhone 6.1" entry in the logs, suggesting the new hardware is being tested in the field.
Such log activity has been noticed in the past in the moths prior to the unveiling of a new handset. Apple rarely gives advanced notification or details on a product before its official unveiling, making such log activity the first indication a new device is on the way.
The log activity also supports speculation from industry pundits that Apple is planning to move back to a release schedule which sees the iPhone hardware updated in the Spring rather than the late Summer.
Topeka Capital analyst Brian White was quoted by Apple Insider as predicting that the new iPhone would hit the market in May or June and would offer various form factors and screen sizes. White also suggested that the new handset would be available in a number of new colours. White said that the colour options would be identical to the iPad Nano colour palette.
Speculation on the next iPhone has become an annual rite in the industry. Last year, the turn of 2012 brought with it a flurry of reports on the iPhone 5. Speculation on the features of the new iPhone continued throughout the year up to Apple's September unveiling.
While some of the early reports on the device, such as a slimmer design, held up, others proved to be well off the | https://www.v3.co.uk/v3-uk/news/2233489/reports-float-more-colour-and-size-options-for-next-iphone | 2018-10-15T17:55:31 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Biff America column: Dave The-Jet and the compassionate co-pilot
July 15, 2016
Dave The-Jet drooled like a waterfall, had a limited vocabulary and, in the insensitive parlance of the mid-'60s, was "retarded." Point of clarification, for 2016, the correct term for Dave's condition would be "developmentally disabled."
I can only guess his age, but safe to say he was probably in his late teens when I was 8 or 9.
Dave The-Jet seldom walked, mostly ran and always flew. He would sprint around the neighborhood with his arms held out while making jet engine noises with his mouth. One of the few times that he could be found earth-bound was when he was in church with his mother. He would leave the car, taxi to the church steps, and his mother would whisper in his ear while gently pushing his arms down. Dave would comply.
Dave would usually remained grounded for most of the Mass, but often, when it came time to head up to the altar to receive communion, with his arms tight at his side, his wrists would be splayed out for lift.
'Your crazy Kid'
My friends and I were afraid of Dave The-Jet.
Recommended Stories For You
Dave was large, didn't know his own strength and was emotionally unpredictable. His size kept my friends and me from making fun of him (to his face). But we also would mostly ignore him. He tried to play with us a few times, and it didn't work out when his wing clipped the nose of a little kid. Can't remember this kid's name, just that he was a younger than the rest of us, but I do remember his dad called Dave's mum and reportedly said some hurtful things like, "Keep your crazy kid away from mine."
A part of me envied Dave for his freedom to fly. I don't think Dave attended school. Sometimes I'd be sitting in the classroom, bored and academically challenged, only to look out the window to see Dave gliding around the playground. Except for the drooling, I wished I were he. He was not allowed to be on school property while students were outside, but there was little to stop him from doing an occasional mid-day fly-by.
Fits of Rage
As I mentioned, kids my age were afraid of Dave The-Jet. He was large and occasionally volatile. Mostly he would just zoom around the neighborhood. That said, we kept a wary eye on him as he passed.
Part of our fear stemmed from the fact that he would sometimes succumb to fits of rage, not violent but audible. He would just start yelling incoherently
. On the best of days, he wasn't easily understood, but when he had his "spells," he would roar and gesture wildly. You didn't want to get too close because Dave had a tendency to spit when he shrieked.
It was near the end of the school year in third or fourth grade when we headed out to recess and found Dave flying (illegally) around the playground. The principal, Mrs. Bieschell, approached him and said that while school was in session, the playground was a no-fly zone. This caused Dave to have one of his spells. He began to yell, wave his arms and cry. He dwarfed the much smaller Mrs. Bieschell.
All of the kids were ushered to the opposite side of the playground while the principal left to call Dave's mum.
My best friend at the time was a kid named Joey Correia. Though a wonderful athlete, he was sensitive and small for his age, and I considered myself his protector.
We were all sequestered at the far side of the playground and Dave was around the corner; we could still hear him yelling in the distance. That's when I noticed Joey was missing. I looked for him in the crowd to no avail and got worried when things got quiet.
You are not Alone
Fearing the worst, I ran to the far side of the school building and peeked around the corner. I saw Dave and Joey, sitting side by side, their backs against the wall; Dave's wings were down. If you were unaware of the backstory you would think that they were just two friends — one large the other small — relaxing in the sun, enjoying each other's quiet company. Though nothing was being said, Joey's mere presence seemed to have a calming effect.
Around the corner walked Mrs. Bieschell with Dave's mother. By then, Dave was tranquil but his face still had the faint scars of dried tears. While he was he slowly led away by his mum, he looked back at Joey and dipped a wing.
Sometimes the best (and only) thing we can do for a person in pain is show them they are not alone.. | https://www.vaildaily.com/news/biff-america-column-dave-the-jet-and-the-compassionate-co-pilot/ | 2018-10-15T17:44:59 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Music that resonates in Beaver Creek
July 21, 2010
BEAVER CREEK – Close enough to see ’em sweat. The front row is widely considered the best seats in the house at most venues. But that’s not what Eagle-Vail resident Amy Church wanted when she saw Jonny Lang perform at the Vilar Center a few years back. “I purposely bought tickets for up in the balcony,” she said. “The way he fills the place, you want a view of him like that. He goes to your heart. Whatever song it is, you can feel it vibrating in your chest. He’s amazing.”Church is a year older than the L.A.-based musician and has been listening to him since she was 16, back when he was singing and playing guitar with his first band, Kid Jonny Lang & The Big Bang.”He was very bluesy and my family was into the blues,” she said. The rock-gospel-blues musician returns to the Vilar Center for a show tonight, part of his “Live … By Request” Tour, which allows fans to log on to Lang’s website,, and request songs for him to perform at the show. Along with the requests, he’ll play tunes from his most recent studio album “Turn Around” and likely some older stuff as well, he said during a recent phone interview from Chicago, where he was preparing for a show at the House of Blues. Despite Lang’s accomplishments – he toured with the Rolling Stones, Buddy Guy, Aerosmith, B.B. King and more, has six albums under his belt and a Grammy award -the boyish-looking 29-year-old was soft-spoken and humble on the phone. That attitude comes across when he’s on stage, too, which is partly why Church calls Lang one of her favorite musicians.”You can tell he loves what he does,” Church said. “He just wants to play music. He’s not big into the celebrity side of it.”
Lang started playing the guitar when he was 13 in his hometown of Fargo, N.D.”I’ve always loved music,” he said. “Ever since I could remember, I wanted to be a singer. My parents were always listening to MoTown records. I grew up in a very musical house.”Lang released his first album “Smokin” when he was 15. His acclaimed album “Lie to Me” soon followed, and a year later, “Wander this World.” The soulful “Long Time Coming,” released in 2003, got Lang his first Grammy nomination. And in 2006, Lang released “Turn Around,” which won a Grammy award in the rock gospel category, though that was a bit of a surprise to him. “As far as the gospel genre goes, I don’t consider ‘Turn Around’ to be gospel, but it did get recognized in that category, so what do I know? I didn’t write it with that intention, though.”It was during that time that Lang found a new purpose in life. “I guess the message behind that album is just sharing my relationship with God,” he said. “I had never written an album where I was focusing on trying to be positive. I didn’t want it to come off preachy, I just wanted it to be positive in hopes of relating to people and making whoever listens to it feel good.”High Life Editor Caramie Schnell can be reached at 970-748-2984 or cschnell@vaildaily.com. | https://www.vaildaily.com/news/music-that-resonates-in-beaver-creek/ | 2018-10-15T18:24:46 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Global coffee brewer, Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) recently said that it was compliant with tax policies, but according to its latest disclosure on tax payments in the U.K., the company finds itself in trouble, as irked MPs, and pressure groups are now calling for an inquiry into the coffee maker’s tax affairs. The coffee chain revealed that it paid a total of £8.6 million from £3 billion worth of sales, since it opened it’s first store in the U.K. in 1998.
The disclosure also indicates that Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) has not paid any taxes over the last three years, for its U.K. outlets, which according to Reuters research, are estimated to be 735 in total. Apparently, the Coffee maker has been reporting losses from its U.K. operations, which contradicts the remarks by the company’s U.S. executives to investors emphasizing that its U.K. business unit has been profitable over the period.
According to a report published by Simon Neville in The Guardian, the contradicting reports from the company are indicative of its extensive use of tax avoidance used by multinationals, which load their subsidiaries with lots of debts from subsidiaries in other parts of the world with lower tax thresholds.
The report notes that in 2007, the chief operating officer, Martin Coles, expressed to analysts that Starbucks’ U.K. business was very pivotal in funding the company’s expansion plans in other countries, which indicates that the U.K. segment was profitable altogether.
“The chief finance officer at the time, Peter Bocian, added that the U.K. division enjoyed operating profit margins of almost 15% that year, equivalent to nearly £50m in profit,” notes Neville.
Nonetheless, accounts filed with Companies House showed a 10th consecutive annual loss, which indeed indicates that the company did not comply with the rule that requires companies to present accounts that reflect the true performance of the business.
Michael Meacher, the Labour MP for Oldham, West, and Royton, who has campaigned against companies that use tax avoidance techniques, is quoted saying, ”.
In a response, HMRC said:
“For legal reasons, we cannot comment on the tax affairs of individual businesses, but we make sure that multinationals pay the right tax to the U.K. in accordance with U.K. tax law.
“Our tax rules, combat tax avoidance and we employ specialist tax professionals to ensure that multinationals play by the rules.”
Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX), is not the only U.S multinational accused of this practice; in some of our articles, we have featured technology companies, which have been involved in cash movement practices, to tax friendly countries, in an attempt to avoid tax burdens.
Large tech multinationals including Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE:HPQ), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ:ORCL), and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) have been accused of using various measures to balloon their cash accounts.

Thursday is another big day on the earnings calendar. Companies from across the spectrum are set to report their performance in the last three months of 2012. Here’s our run down of what to expect from five of the biggest firms set to release earnings.
3M Co (NYSE:MMM): This technology company is set to report its earnings for the final quarter of 2012 before the market opens on Thursday. The company is expected to announce earnings of $1.41 per share. The firm is expected to have taken in $7.2 billion in revenues in the period.
In the same three months of 2011, the company earned $1.35 per share on revenues of $7.1 billion. If the company meets analysts’ expectations, it could report earnings of $6.32 per share for the full the entire and revenues totaling $29.7 billion. In 2011, the company recorded total earnings of $5.96 per share on revenues of $29.6.
3M Co (NYSE:MMM) stock increased in price by more than 15% in the last twelve months but has performed exceptionally well in the opening weeks of 2013. However, investors are worried that innovation at the firm has slowed in recent years, and that its ability to grow organically is slowing.
AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T): The mobile carrier will release its earnings before the market opens on Thursday. Analysts are looking for earnings per share of 46 cents and revenues for the period are expected to be $32.2 billion for the fourth quarter. In the closing months of 2011, the company recorded earnings of 42 cents per share on revenues of $32.5 billion.
If the company manages to meet the analysts’ estimates, it will record earnings of $2.36 per share for 2012. revenues for the full year are expected to come in at $127 billion. Last year the company earned $2.20 per share on revenues of $127 billion.
AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) stock lagged the S&P 500 last year, increasing its price by just over 10% in the last twelve months. In the first few weeks of 2013, the company has seen its stock price fall by a fraction. The key metric in the report will be the ARPU from data charges. That figure could represent the future of telecommunications and is extremely important for growth. The firm’s 2013 outlook, particularly its capital expenditure plans, will also be worth a look.
Xerox Corporation (NYSE:XRX): The iconic technology company saw its stock tumble by more than 14% in the last twelve months, but Xerox is hoping to see a turnaround in 2013. The company is expected to report fourth quarter earnings of 29 cents per share before the market opens on Thursday.
Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012 are expected to come in at $5.9 billion, down slightly from last year’s $6 billion. Earnings per share in the last three months of 2011 was reported at 33 cents. The release of this report will cap off a poor 2012, with earnings for the full year expected to total $1.04 per share and revenues expected to amount to $22.3 billion for the full year.
In 2011, the company earned $2.08 per share on revenues of $22.6 billion. It’s been a difficult year for Xerox as the space it operates in becomes increasingly competitive, and its document technology business undergoes serious readjustments. Investors are somewhat optimistic; however, shares have jumped slightly in the opening weeks of 2013.
Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE:UNP): Before the market opens on Thursday Union Pacific Corporation will release its earnings report for the last three months of 2012. the company is expected to report earnings per share of $2.16 per share on revenues totaling $5.3 billion. In the same quarter in 2011, the company earned $1.99 per share on revenues of $5.1 billion.
the company is expected to show earnings of $8.25 per share for 2012, which is up compared with 2011 earnings of $6.72 per share. Revenues for the full year are expected to come in at around $21 billion, beating the 2011 total of $19.6 billion. The firm’s stock price has had a good year, rising by more than 18%.
Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE:UNP) is looking like a valuable company right now, and investors are responding to that. The firm’s stock has risen by more than 6% since New Year’s Day.
Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE:LMT): The defense and aerospace firm is set to announce earnings before the open of the market on Thursday. Analysts are looking for the company to post earnings of $1.80 per share for the fourth quarter of 2012. Full year earnings are expected to come in at $8.41 per share.
Revenues for 2012 are expected to come in at $46.2 billion, after the expected fourth quarter revenue of $11.2 billion is added. In the fourth quarter of 2011, Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE:LMT) announced earnings of $2.14 on revenue of $12.2 billion. Full year earnings in 2011 came to $7.84 and full year revenues totaled $46.4 billion.
The firm’s shares rose by just over 15% in the last twelve months, and in the opening weeks of 2013, the company saw its shares increase by just slightly more than 3%. Investors are clearly hoping for another strong showing from Lockheed Martin Corporation in the year to come.

California’s public pension system Calpers plans to vote in favor of a non-binding proposal separating the chief executive and chairman roles at JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM).
Calpers joins other firms in its call
The separation proposal came in the wake of the London Whale scandal. Jamie Dimon is the current CEO and chairman of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM).
The support from massive California pension plan Calpers comes on the heels of the two largest U.S. proxy advisory firms throwing their weight behind a bid to separate the CEO and chairman titles at JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM).
The pension plan’s director for corporate governance Ms Simpson feels the move is rooted in the belief that systematically important institutions need plenty of oversight. According to her, the board’s single most important job is to oversee its chief executive. She feels if one person is vested with both roles, it would weaken the board’s mission.
Earlier Institutional Shareholder Services and Glass, Lewis & Company, the country’s two biggest proxy advisory firms, recommended that shareholders vote in favor of a split. The proxy advisory firms also recommended withholding votes for or voting against several of J.P. Morgan’s directors, particularly those on the bank’s risk committee.
The non-binding vote on the split is scheduled for May 21 at JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM)’s annual meeting at Tampa.
Calpers just hold 6.88 million shares representing about 0.02 percent stake in J.P. Morgan and hence its support is unlikely to tip the scales.
At last year’s shareholders meeting, Calpers voted to split the J.P. Morgan roles. This proposal attracted 40 percent of the vote. However this meeting took place even before the disclosure of the multibillion-dollar trading loss at the bank’s chief investment office. The pension plan feels the London Whale debacle cost $6 billion losses, reinforcing tighter supervisory oversight at JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM).
Since the London Whale incident involving credit derivatives, regulators and members of Congress have attacked the bank’s management for failures of oversight and systemic breaches of rules.
In the meanwhile, J.P. Morgan executives are continuing efforts to persuade shareholders to stick with the current structure.
The Wall Street Journal reported three major investors, BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE:BLK), Vanguard Group and Fidelity Investments, which control more than 12 percent of J.P. Morgan’s shares, have yet to be persuaded to vote against the split proposal.
Shares of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) rallied 1.73 percent to $49.99 Wednesday afternoon, leaving them up almost 14 percent on the year.

Whales, the largest mammals and animals in the world, have a rather interesting evolution. According to scientists, 50 million years ago, they had four feet, they were land animals with long tails and were the size of wolves. Throughout the next 12 million years, they managed to evolve into sea animals, and adapt to the oceanic surroundings despite being mammals. The Blue whale is considered the largest animal that has ever existed, although it is still confusing about what makes whales so large.
A new study published on March 26 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, looks at mammal growth, considering it more constrained to water compared to land. There are hard limits that bind the size of mammals in the ocean, which actually is what could makes whales so large.
Scientists from the Stanford and Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium explained in their study: the team used the data sets of the body masses for 3,859 living species and 2,999 fossil mammal species, focusing on the fact of when mammals became aquatic and how they grew to their current size. They discovered a new pattern that explains that when mammals become aquatic, they quickly evolved to their new sizes, until they fixed themselves on a stalled growth.
The researchers believe that when animals are very large, they can retain heat better in water despite it being lower than their body temperature. However, being large also results in metabolism growing as well, which means that the animal would need more food.
“The sperm whale seems to be the largest you can get without a new adaptation,” lead author and Stanford Ph.D. candidate Will Gearty said in a statement. “The only way to get as big as a baleen whale is to completely change how you’re eating.”
What makes whales so large as aquatic animals, according to the researchers, can be attributed to the basic laws of physics and chemistry. There are different pressures and conditions affecting metabolic rates and size. The whales are large and they live in colder water, so less precious energy is wasted.
The only exception in the aquatic mammals that didn’t rapidly grow to be massive are manageably-sized sea otters. Scientists concluded that this is because otters entered the ocean relatively recently, and that they still prefer living on land much more than living in the sea.

Skylanders Swap Force PS4 and Xbox One release dates presage both consoles
Skylanders Swap Force arrives for next-gen systems in North America before either system makes it to market.
Activision will release both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Skylanders Swap Force in North America on November 12.
The release has been brought forward from an expected launch alongside the consoles – the PS4 on November 15 and the Xbox One on November 22.
No word yet on European launch dates.
Skylanders Swap Force is already available on 3DS, PS3, Wii, Wii U and Xbox 360. It’s main differentiator from past Skylanders games is that some figurines can be taken apart into two pieces and recombined, granting different combinations of powers for use in-game.
In a press release, Activision described the next-gen versions as featuring “an all new graphics engine that delivers high-resolution visuals that bring to life amazingly detailed characters and richer environments to deliver a high level of visual fidelity that immerse players in the game like never before”. It runs in native 1080p on both consoles. | https://www.vg247.com/2013/11/12/skylanders-swap-force-ps4-and-xbox-one-release-dates-presage-both-consoles/ | 2018-10-15T17:47:14 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Second Reading
Adjourned debate on second reading.
(Continued from 24 February 2016.)
Ms CHAPMAN ( Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (12:02): I rise to speak on this bill to indicate that substantially we will be supporting the bill and—
The DEPUTY SPEAKER: I have just been asked to establish that you are the lead speaker.
Ms CHAPMAN: Correct. The government introduced this bill on 24 February indicating that it was to deal with 'minor errors, omissions and other technical deficiencies in legislation', and it is fair to say that after having the briefing with representatives from the Attorney-General's Department and, indeed, the minister's office, that for a substantial part of this bill, that is exactly so. I also had sought some further data in respect of some of the matters and confirm that that information has been received, and I thank those officers responsible for preparation of the same.
Essentially, the areas of reform and amendment to legislation cover a number of areas, and I will summarise those to indicate our agreement to the same. One is in respect of forensic procedures, and essentially the legislation catches up with the current contemporary terminology, but also to some degree allows for other qualified persons to undertake various procedures. This is in two categories: one, to enable police officers of a lower rank to be involved in some of these, including the taking of tests; and, secondly, from the Coroner to police officers. We do not take issue with those. Probably there will be some questions about justification in doing that but essentially we do not take issue with that.
There is a second tranche of reform to deal with the new and contemporary use of 'cognitive impairment' instead of the term 'mental disability', and that has required some amendments, and we support those. I note that yesterday we were dealing with the Mental Health Act and a review of some of that legislation, so I am not quite sure why that is not being updated as well in our health legislation.
Nevertheless, in the criminal law and in respect of the protective laws for our citizens, a whole new tranche of legislation has come into effect largely to enable vulnerable parties, people with a cognitive impairment, to be able to have offences against them successfully prosecuted by lowering the bar of admissibility of the evidence obligations.
The third area relates to a liability for an apology and is to clarify in the Civil Liability Act so that there is full legal protection given to a person in civil proceedings to deal with a circumstance where an apology is given. It purports to come from a request of the State Ombudsman on 20 November 2014 in which he did an audit of state government agencies. It was a fairly scathing report, I might say. In any event, two years later that is being implemented.
I point out here that although he expressed concern about the reticence of people coming forward and saying, 'I am sorry, I apologise for what has happened,' even if they do not take direct responsibility for having inflicted some harm or hurt to somebody, there is clearly benefit in being able to have parties come together and for one or other to acknowledge at least that they are sorry for what has happened and in a way to heal that issue, that rift, before it gets into ugly litigation or a greater confrontation between the parties.
Unsurprisingly, this piece of legislation comes to the parliament, not just because the Ombudsman has asked for it, but because most often what he is dealing with is an apology from government departments or departmental officers or people in the purview of responsibility to the government who have acted either inappropriately or have failed to act or neglected to act, and their conduct or their omission has resulted in somebody missing out on something.
Everyone can read the Ombudsman's report each year because his job is to be a recipient of concerns and complaints by the general public. Largely, they are taken up in areas nowadays of prisoners who complain about some loss of benefit in the prison; the education department, which can be anything from not having the right teacher to a parent's complaint for their child at school, across to serious errors of conduct on behalf of a departmental officer or a school; and finally, areas in Department for Families and Communities which have had an explosion of complaints for obvious reasons. Other smaller departments have some response as do local governments.
Remember nowadays that we have a separate complaints person, a health and community services complaints commissioner, for the health department, with private health and community services in a separate wing of that complaint structure. Of course, we have a number of other integrity offices—the Office for Public Integrity, ICAC and a separate police ombudsman which, for obvious reasons, is to protect the integrity of criminal intelligence and the like. So, we have a pretty busy process. Civil liability applies to everyone, including the government. I will make the point here that the people we are trying to get to say sorry are people who work for the government.
Next is the areas to remit a case for resentencing, which relates to a Full Court decision and which requires amendment, and we support that. As to accessibility to court records, I will come back to that in a moment. There are some electoral reform amendments which we have accepted and which reflect the intent of what the original amendments to the Electoral Act were to do. We have some vulnerable witness legislation amendments, particularly to the Evidence Act, again to deal with definitions, for example, of complex communication need and the like. Some of these may not help a lot, but we will support the government in the hope that they do.
This amendment will remove the current maximum age for a juror to be 70. So you can be selected and go on a jury when you are over 70, but you have the right to opt out pretty much automatically from jury duty if you do not wish to do it; and that is something that we accept. Obviously, we welcome the contribution of the mature aged in serving in this capacity. There is an expiry issue in relation to subordinate legislation—we have no problem with that—and then there is the updating of languages for electronic recording.
The two areas in the bill which I particularly wish to address are the amendments to the Intervention Orders (Prevention of Abuse) Act 2009. With that bill being opened, I propose to move amendments which are standing in my name (filed 8 March) which relate to the duration of intervention orders, and I will address those in committee. They are for the government to be aware that that is to incorporate what I had in a private member's bill but which I have now withdrawn, and I will be seeking to have those amendments made to the act via this bill.
The second and most controversial area is in respect of the government's proposal to change the rules of accessibility to court records. The government will have seen the amendments tabled that oppose the changes to the Magistrates Court Act, the District Court Act and Supreme Court Act proposed by the government. We will be seeking to delete parts 7, 12 and 17 of the bill relating to the government's initiative (which is the kindest way I can describe that) in this bill.
The third area is not the subject of the material within the government's proposals but an area to which I will seek to move in a third set of amendments to amend the Criminal Law Consolidation Act 1935 while it is open. I will be seeking to make provision for the protection of children against prosecution of pornographic charges. I do so in light of the government's introduction of a new level of proposed criminal offences, namely, offences under the Summaries Offences Act, dealing with sexting and revenge pornography.
This is consistent with advice that we have received during our consultation, in the circumstances where child pornography laws will still prevail and where children have been charged with pornography charges, and where there is the need to ensure that they be protected in the circumstance where, if I could say, a mere sexting offence could suffice and be protected against an unfair prosecution as a child offender charged with pornography charges. We will introduce a clause to require the Attorney-General to be the gatekeeper and give consent before that can occur.
Members may be interested to know that in the course of the government's promotion of the need for revenge pornography legislation and the acknowledgement that we do need to protect against unfair prosecution, even of sexting offences, where there has been inappropriate material published between, if we can say, two consenting children (that is persons under 18), the government acknowledged that one has to be careful and not over-zealous in declaring something as criminal conduct from the point of view of prosecuting children for what is juvenile, irresponsible behaviour.
We have a whole regime of laws that relate to youth offending, and we, in this civilised community, accept that they should be given a second chance. They even have a separate court, even though we have been fighting for a judge, of course, to stay as head of it. Nevertheless, we recognise the significance of understanding that young people will do stupid things—not all of them, but some of them will do stupid things and when they grow up or they mature or they learn from their lesson they should be given a second chance.
That is the principle that undermines criminal justice for children, and I certainly support it. I think that this will be an important initiative to protect, particularly as we are going to go into the realm, with that set of legislation, which will have our support but which will attract still the opportunity for children to be prosecuted. When the Attorney-General was questioned about children being prosecuted, children being on the child offenders' list, he has made this statement publicly that there are no children on the child offenders' list.
I have no reason to doubt that is the case now, but what we now find out is that a child was on the list, and the only reason he is able to stand up publicly and say that there is no child on the child sex offenders' list is because that child has now turned 18. If he was fully frank with the public he would have said, 'No, there are no children on the child offenders' list, but it has occurred, and we want to make sure that, in certain cases, children are protected against that.'
As it turns out, I am advised—and I have no reason to doubt—that the person who was on the offenders' list, the child who is now an adult, has been convicted of serious pornography offences. As I say, I have no reason to doubt that it is a situation where the prevailing circumstances, the seriousness of the offence, would justify that occurring, but for my satisfaction, consistent with the way we should be treating our youth, I want there to be some protection and for someone to have a look at it before a prosecution proceeds of the serious charges of pornography against the child—not the sexting offences because I think the DPP and others can deal with that responsibly and we do not need to have a separate gatekeeper However, for that reason I will be proposing a third amendment to this bill.
Let me return to the government's proposal that we change the law in respect of accessibility to court documents. At present, remember, we have a situation where our courts, like our parliament, are under the scrutiny of the public. One of the great opportunities the public has to scrutinise what we do or what happens in courtrooms, to ensure that there is a public accountability and a transparency of what we do, is that we have open courts and we have open parliaments. People can come in here and sit in the parliament or sit in the courtroom and view what happens, listen to how it works, to be able to shine a light on the accountability of those processes.
Largely, we do not have star chambers in our state. We do not have secret hearings. We have special provisions when a child might give evidence in a court, or indeed when there is a circumstance in the parliament when there are committee witnesses giving evidence, for example, to a committee, which we protect against the public glare at the time until the committee concludes its reporting and then, of course, that material can be available once it is tabled in the parliament.
The government has inquiries from time to time—royal commissions and the like—and those inquiries sometimes receive evidence in secret, that is, they are not in a public environment. We have the royal commission happening at the moment in respect of children's services in this state conducted by royal commissioner Nyland and she has elected to hear a number of witnesses and receive evidence without the glare of public attendance. There can be good reason for the exception, but that is the exception.
One of the other ways that we do it is to make sure that what we say in courtrooms via judgements of judges or what we say here via our able people in Hansard is placed on an electronic record on a website so that it is available for the public to view it, read it and know what is going on. This is the means which is probably the most instant for most people who do not, frankly, have all day to sit in courtrooms or parliament or, indeed, even to go online and read it all. Representatives from the media come here and go to courtrooms and read the reports and judgements and look at the court files and protect us by having the capacity to publish information about what is going on in these important institutions.
It is particularly important in courts because we have a separation of powers and an executive which is supposed to be accountable to the parliament. We have the judiciary independent of interference by the executive. The Attorney-General cannot ring a judge and say, 'I want this person to be guilty.' The Attorney-General or the Premier cannot ring the police commissioner and say, 'I want that man prosecuted.' None of the ministers can ring commissioners of inquiry and say, 'Dud this person.'
We protect against executive interference, and the way that we do that is to make sure that these people have autonomous responsibility and they are protected by law from interference. Any of the ministers—or any of us, for that matter—cannot ring up the DPP and say, 'I want this person's backside. I want this person charged. Please proceed in that manner.' It is very important that we have that separation.
When the press, for example, or someone else wants to know what is happening in a criminal court, they can go down and watch and they can go and look at the court file, which will disclose a number of things. A number of them are pretty straightforward, such as: the name or names of the accused; the charges which they are required to respond to and for which they are being held to account; sometimes, some of the particulars of the offence; and early judgements and decisions of the courts as the criminal case progresses (on applications for adjournment, remands in custody, bail, committals to higher courts, and all those things). They can follow it and see what is happening, and that is a very important process.
Currently, if somebody goes down and gets information and reads the particulars of what somebody is charged with or the determinations that are there, or goes online (because some of this information is online), they can then either publish it if they are members of the press or members of parliament, for example, or the general public can go down and find this information and bring it to the parliament and raise concerns, etc. It is a transparent process. It is there for public accountability.
To ensure that criminal cases, in particular, are not derailed by information that is being worked on by the police or the DPP's office, there is frequently a situation where the prosecuting officer, whether it is the police or the DPP (sometimes it is the RSPCA, so there are certain other people who have prosecuting powers but, anyway, the prosecuting authority), goes down to the court and says, 'I want to make an application for the suppression of certain information. I want an order excluding people from having access to a certain set of pleadings, witness statements and viewing of evidence, and I want protection from that because it is going to interfere with the proper proceeding of that case and lawful prosecution.'
Sometimes it is other parties involved in the case: someone who might represent the defendant or someone who might represent a witness. Their counsel, or sometimes they make the application themselves saying, 'If this information gets out I will be unfairly prejudiced and I want a suppression order on my name, as the accused,' or a witness who says, 'I am going to be at risk in some way; I want protection.'
They have a process where they go down to the court, as we do in protecting certain witnesses automatically, like child witnesses, and they can make an application to the court to say, 'I need this document sealed,' or, 'I don't want there to be access to this material,' or, 'If there is access to this material, I want there to be an order saying there can't be any publication of that material,' usually pending the determination of the trial or inquiry. All of that is a totally appropriate process.
What has the government done here? What are they doing now to say that they need to amend this law in the Magistrates Court, District Court and Supreme Court where criminal cases are heard? Many members would know that every criminal case starts in the Magistrates Court and then is committed up to higher courts if it is a serious offence—largely; I am generalising here. Each of these courts frequently deal with this, and the biggest workload, of course, initially is with the Magistrates Court.
Often it is magistrates who are asked in the first instance to actually hear applications to either suppress evidence or to grant suppression orders in relation to certain information. It is a heavy workload, and we have an incredible number of suppression orders in South Australia. Some of it is because of the way that we count suppression orders. One case can have a number of suppression orders that are actually repeated over a period of time, and we count each one of them once. That can distort some of the comparisons with other states, but still we are pretty much known as the suppression state of Australia.
Our judicial people are very mindful of the importance of protecting people's rights and protecting the integrity of the prosecuting process to ensure that bad people do not get off and hopefully innocent people are not caught. They are pretty good at doing that and they are regularly called upon to do it. However, the government comes along and says, 'We need to make it harder for anyone, including the press'—because it is acknowledged in the second reading explanation that the press are included—'to protect against the giving of sensitive or private records held by a court.'
We already have a process to do that. In fact, the DPP has significant powers already—indeed, a responsibility already—to ensure that his cases are not derailed and/or his victim and witnesses and the like are not in some way prejudiced. As I said, he has the right to go into court to have information kept secret and sealed until that occurs.
What the government says is, 'We think it is also important that the defendants have the right to be heard on an application before the material gets out.' However, we are not talking about civil claims here, we are talking about criminal cases. Of course, the defendant needs to have rights, and they do. We have lots of laws to protect their rights. However, in this instance it is usually about protecting the records that are under the control of the prosecution, because defendants are not presenting their evidence at this early stage. It is the prosecution evidence that is so critical at this early stage, so I think that is a complete furphy.
I suggest to the parliament that the government bringing in the rights of a defendant suddenly to have a say about whether a document should be kept under wraps or whether evidence should be protected against publication, or a member of the press being given access, is a complete red herring.
It is quite unacceptable for it to be used as an excuse to restrict another party from what is the fundamental, basic requirement: that is, that people who are charged with criminal offences are entitled to have a day in open court, and are entitled to know what the charges are against them, etc. There is a long list of things to which they are entitled.
The primary basis of having all these rules is to ensure that innocent people are not unfairly and wrongly convicted, and that guilty people are convicted. It is a fine balance, but it is a very important one. What is completely unacceptable to me is the way in which the government have introduced this reform in the middle of a rats and mice bill. They have said, 'Look, here's a bill that we just need to tidy up as it has some minor errors, omissions and other technical deficiencies,' and snuck into this bill a provision to shut down real-time access to court information.
I do not doubt for one moment that the new process will so substantially delay the access to information in a timely manner that it will be lost. It will make it inalienable to the public. They won't know what is going on in the course. Remember, the public sit out there and they want to know who has been charged and what they have been charged with, and they might want to follow that hearing.
It might be an employee; it might be a neighbour; it might be someone that they think needs to be cleared or convicted one way or the other before they can advance, or before somebody might even let their children go and stay in their house. These are all fundamental rights of the public to know, and we do rely on members of the press, who have the responsibility to cover these important events.
The government's attempt to isolate the public from their right to know is scandalous. Here is the crunch: not only did they hide it in this little rats and mice bill, there was no mention when the Attorney-General went out publicly and said, 'I'm going to make sure that people who are over 70 can sit on a jury.' That was his bill press release; that was the big story of the day coming with this piece of legislation. There was no mention of what he was going to do in relation to quarantining access to the public.
Secondly, I would like to say that no only had he done that, but he did not even have the courtesy of presenting this bill for consideration to agencies representing the press—not the union, not FreeTV, the Press Association, News Corp, or any of the myriad of people out there who are responsible and are associations, employers or advocates. Not the Australian Journalists Association or union—nobody! Nobody got notice of what was going with this bill.
The audacity of the Attorney-General to even attempt to progress this after introducing it a couple of weeks ago, without even telling the Law Society of South Australia—he is supposed to be the representative on behalf of the lawyers. It will not surprise you to know that we have spoken to the Law Society. The Law Society have actually consulted with the criminal barristers on this issue, and, unsurprisingly, the criminal barristers say, 'Oh, okay; well, that's fine,' because they are representing the defendants. They would love everything to be a secret. The public have a fundamental right to know, and there is a whole structure of legislative protection against someone being unfairly treated, or even exposed to adverse publicity in a criminal trial.
The other thing is that if there is ever an example of the abuse of publication of material, or statements being made about people who are accused in criminal trials before there has been the finalisation of a prosecution, either culminating in a guilty plea, or a conviction by trial, it would be in the conduct of this government. The most scandalous of those cases resulted in the AttorneyGeneral trying to come down here and get rid of juries.
Fortunately, there was sufficient objection by this parliament to that outrageous suggestion that the bill lapsed. What I will say is this: it was the case of Shannon McCoole. We all know the tawdry detail of that case—I am not going to traverse it again, it has been across the newspapers, of course, in every detail over the last six weeks, or so, as Mr McCoole and other witnesses have appeared before the royal commission in respect of children's protection services.
As soon as Mr McCoole was arrested, we had the Premier go out and call a press conference. There were important people there—police commissioners, and all these people lined up behind him—and he stood up there and started talking about the acts of evil of this person. Unsurprisingly, it gets a headline. Single-handedly this government, but in particular the Premier, I would suggest, almost derailed the capacity for a fair trial in that case by making absolutely outrageous statements before they had even got to the committal hearing. The bloke had just been charged. As it turned out, he pleaded guilty to multiple offences: gross, indecent, disgusting offences in respect of child pornography and, apparently, we read that there are even more victims out there still to be considered.
We have a situation, though, where the government—so buoyed up by their own importance and their own audacious approach to what they think they can do anytime, anywhere—can go out and make statements, and yet in the next breath they can say, 'No, we can't have anyone else having access to information.' That is information that is on the court file and supposed to be on the public record, but, no, no-one else can be trusted with it. We have to ask the defendant whether they want to have a say about whether certain information is available, but the Premier can go out and call a press conference, detail a whole lot of information, and then, I think disgustingly, potentially prejudice a case.
Probably, in a case like that, had he not pleaded guilty, he may well have received advice to go for a trial by judge alone anyway. There would probably be no-one left in the state who could fairly say that they could be independent and without influence as a result of the publicity around that case—even before it got to trial. In any event, he pleaded guilty, and I see in the paper the other day that he has abandoned his appeal in respect of the sentence. I am pleased to say that for those who might have been hurt in some way—the families of those children involved, and his victims—that matter is apparently now at an end.
The government is inconsistent. They have their own set of rules for themselves, and they are wanting to quarantine the public from that scrutiny, that transparency, that sort of sunlight from executives and governments and the like that we expect to be the disinfectant on abuse.
Two significant representatives of the media have been in touch with me and, obviously, are very concerned. One of those is the representative for Free TV Australia. Julie Flynn, the chief executive officer, has sent me a fulsome letter in respect of the deep concern arising out of the proposal of the government in this area. If I were to just refer to a few of the comments made under the hand of Ms Flynn, and complemented by Ms Clare O'Neil, director of legal and broadcasting policy for Free TV Australia, who has been very helpful in her coordinating the advice on this matter. They say this:
These access provisions—
referring to all of the courts that we are talking about—
were originally ins erted to ensure that the public (including the media) had a clear right to inspect court records and to provide a mechanism t o facilitate that inspection. Over the years, the list of C ourt records to which the public has a right to inspect has been reduced and the list of records which require the permission of the Court has grown.
There is no uniform approach to accessing court documents across Australia n jur isdictions. Generally speaking... for cases heard in open c ourt in jurisdictions outside South Australia, it would be unlikely not to get access to material such as witness impact statements, photographs , and transcript s of preliminary oral evidence... particularl y if the material was tendered.
A transparent justice system and the public's right to know are a key characteristic of a democratic society. In Russell v Russell , Gibbs J stated that it is the 'ordinary rule' of courts of Australia that their proceedings shall be conducted ' publicly and in open view '; w ithout public scrutiny, ' abuses may flourish undetected ' .
This philosophy is reflected in [ and refers to certain sections ] of the Evidence Act 1929 , [ in respect of ] :
'...a primary objective in the administration of justice is to safeguard the public interest in open justice and the consequential right of the news media to publish information relating to court proceedings. '
The other aspects of their submission on this preliminary viewing, bearing in mind they have only had days to be able to consider this, as the Attorney has not seen fit to consult them, is to confirm that the existing system we have for protection of private or sensitive records is already robust, there is significant oversight of it, it is exercised regularly in South Australia, and the protections are sufficient.
The impact, they confirm, and I think as I have outlined earlier, is that it would directly affect the news of the day—that is, where the people's attentions are to a particular offence or charge—and to be able to deny and delay and frustrate access is simply not acceptable. To go through a hearing and to be able to have the delay of that—to even find the defendant to serve them, to give them notice to come along and have a hearing and have a say, of course, will take weeks, or months in some instances. So, we have a situation where there would be a massive delay.
Who is going to pay for all of this? Who is going to pay for every time a news outlet wants to go along to court and have access to a court record, which will be on a daily basis? Who is going to pay for that? Who is going to send the DPP down there and pay for his representative to be there or the police prosecutor representative, or the counsel who are going to be there, the judge's time, court time? I do not even want to start today on the question of the court infrastructure we have, which is so appalling already, crumbling at the walls. The fact is that we have delayed justice already, we have shocking infrastructure, and now the government is wanting to impose this type of heavy-handed approach, which will be expensive and will obviously be totally inconsistent with other laws and the rights to access to this information.
Similarly, sentiments have been conveyed by News Corp, who have consulted a number of other personnel in respect of the bill. Their representative, Georgia-Kate Schubert, who is the head of policy and government affairs, has indicated that she is responding on behalf of AAP, ABC, APN News & Media, Australian Subscription Television and Radio Association, Bauer Media Group, Commercial Radio Australia, Community Broadcasting Association of Australia, Fairfax Media, Free TV, MEAA, News Corp Australia, SBS, The Newspaper Works and The West Australian regarding this. Well, good on her for taking the initiative and finding out what their view is, but it is pretty comprehensive: this is totally unacceptable.
I think the way in which the Attorney has approached this is shameful. It disgusts me that he has refused to even speak to the very agencies that are going to be affected by this, and has tried to sneak it into this bill. Leaving aside his reprehensible behaviour, the merits of the proposed legislation fail at every count, and therefore we should not support it. Irrespective of the conduct of the Attorney-General, this should not pass because it is wrong, and I call upon the government to understand the significance of what they are doing here, or what the Attorney-General is doing, and presumably of which they have approved because these things have approval by the cabinet to progress this legislation.
I expect that most of the time the cabinet listen to the Attorney-General and say, 'Yes, that sounds sensible, Attorney, we have read your briefing note, tick,' and probably for most of this bill they have done that. They may not have even gone into any detail on it, because nobody knew anything about it until the bill was tabled here in this parliament. That is, as I say, reprehensible conduct and it is bad government, and for any minister who sits in that cabinet, I say this to them: read the documents carefully; do not be fooled. I especially say that to members of the cabinet who are not members of the Australian Labor Party: be alert and be warned because this is coming.
I stood up here some months ago and gave recognition to Peter Greste, who had been imprisoned in an Egyptian gaol, a disgraceful example that had international recognition and outcry as a result of someone being incarcerated, basically, for speaking out against the government. It is not acceptable that the people of South Australia are going to be silenced because they are going to be kept ignorant because the press cannot even do the job that they are supposed to do: to ensure that we have the information that we can rely on.
The public dissemination of information will be undermined and there will be a gross miscarriage of justice to South Australians if this part of the legislation passes. So, I will be asking the parliament to support me in the second foreshadowed set of amendments. With that contribution, I otherwise commend the bill to the house. | https://www.vickiechapman.com.au/statutes_amendment_attorney_general_s_portfolio_bill | 2018-10-15T17:09:58 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
The ringmaster/actor/director has been singing Craig Carnelia’s songs for some time but not as regularly nowadays, so it’s a treat to hear his take on them again. The show is called “Cast of Thousands,” and he’ll not only reprise earlier Carnelia material but include new output as well. Expect to be bowled over by the emotional and intellectual content of his selections and the robust quality of his singing.

How does Virtru work?
When you send messages with Virtru, your emails and files are locked using strong encryption. Only you and your recipients can decrypt your messages. Separation of content and encryption gives you an inherent extra level of privacy. Virtru can NEVER see your content, while your email provider can never get the keys to the “locks” on your secure emails. Virtru is as easy for recipients as it is for senders. They can read your message anywhere, without installing any software. As soon as they verify their identity, they'll be able to read your messages and files. | https://www.virtru.com/faq/how-does-virtru-work/ | 2018-10-15T17:20:29 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Mystic, CT is a small town with a big reputation on the Connecticut shore. The town itself, divided by a small tidal estuary that opens to the Mystic River, is compact. Contemporary life on land and on the water chugs along in tandem with buildings and scenery that would fit into life in the 1830s. Big attractions are Mystic Seaport, a busy living history museum that replicates that town's ship-building culture of the 19th century, and Mystic Aquarium, enhanced by a close relationship with the work of Dr. Robert Ballard, the ocean scientist who discovered the Titanic. All around Mystic are perfectly beautiful country drives, inland and along the shore. And, just 10 miles up the road, is the world-famous Foxwoods Casino. Click here for a map of Mystic.
Mystic is 134 miles northeast of New York City; 50 miles south and west of Providence, RI; and 100 miles southwest of Boston, MA. You can get here by car, train, or even by ferry, but to see the sights best, you need a car to wander some of the outlying areas beyond town.
The town is just a short distance from exit 90 of Interstate 95, the major artery that runs along the Eastern Seaboard. Running parallel to I-95 in Route 1, the old Post Road, which offers beautiful sights along the water but much slower travel.
Amtrak's Regional Route offers downtown-to-downtown train service up and down the Northeast Corridor from Boston to Newport News, VA, with a stop in Mystic. The train station is walking distance from the downtown, but there is no other public transportation around or outside the immediate vicinity of the downtown.
An adventurous trip to Mystic from New York City involves departing by Cross-Island ferry from Orient Point, NY, at the eastern tip of Long Island, then taking the Cross-Island Ferry to New London, CT, which is an east 10 miles west of Mystic on I-95. It is not the most quick and efficient way to travel, but the scenery in both states is beautiful and you avoid the famous traffic on I-95.
If you love aquariums, don't miss this one. It's easy to spend hours at Mystic Aquarium. The aquarium has something new happening every new season. Learn about native and remote species like fur seals, African penguins, and beluga whales. There's a National Geographic Theater with nature shows, live sea lion shows, petting areas, and a Titanic exhibit.
Mystic Seaport is a living history museum that re-creates an 1830s-era shipbuilding town like … Mystic! It is the home of the Charles W. Morgan, the last surviving wooden whaling ship. See other historic vessels, a town with re-created work places like a ship's chandler and barrel maker, a lighthouse, and a planetarium. The Seaport hosts a lot of seasonal events, like an authentic 1830s Fourth of July celebration and a Sea Chantey festival, Browse a delightful and educational gift shop.
In New England, a borough is a smaller political designation within a town. Take Route 1 and 1A along the shore eastward a few miles to the beautiful, small Stonington Borough, a finger of land with just a few long, narrow streets packed with Colonial-era houses and flowering window boxes. Browse the antique shops on Water and Main streets or stroll the harbor front to watch the small fishing fleet going about its business.
Visit Mystic Museum of Art on Water Street in the downtown and then stroll and window shop past the many delightful stores - selling clothing, art, toys, and jewelry - on Main Street in downtown Mystic, ending at the Mystic River Park. Another shopping hub is Olde Mistick Village, located about 2 miles north of the downtown on Route 27. It is a re-imaging nostalgic village with more than 40 places to shop. You can rest by the scenic duck pond, and check out the Victorian gazebo for frequent events and performances.
Mason's Island, poised like a cork in the bottle just offshore in front of the entrance to the Mystic River, makes a beautiful short drive to see the Sound and nearby island and the town profile. A longer and very beautiful inland drive takes you out of town to Route 184 and to Stonington Vineyards. The vineyard – part of a thriving wine-making community throughout the state – offers tours and tastings and some special events.
Hop aboard Argia Mystic from Steamboat Wharf for smooth, water-based sightseeing through Mystic Seaport and the surrounding area, complete with a boat tour, refreshments, and passage underneath the town's iconic counter-weighted bridge. The Black Hawk Party Boat departs from Niantic, a scenic small town just west of Mystic.
Foxwoods Resort & Casino in Mashantucket, 10 miles north of Mystic, houses two large theaters. So if gambling is not your cup of tea, you can still enjoy this hotspot of world-class performances and restaurants ranging from casual to formal. If you want to make a daytime visit to the casino, consider visiting the huge and high-tech Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center, also on the reservation. It's a fascinating exploration for kids and adults.
If you want to stay local in Mystic in the evening, pay a visit to the Harp and Hound Irish Pub, right in the downtown. A variety of drinks and cocktails and convivial company converge within a cozy, local atmosphere. There is a weekly trivia night and live music most nights of the week. The pub's website shows the music schedule.
Bartleby's Cafe on Main Street in Mystic is fun for breakfast. The menu is not vast, but it is adequate and the setting is perfect: cozy chairs, street life to watch through the big picture windows onto Main Street, lots of local people coming and going.
Kitchen Little is located at the Marina on Mason's Island, just a short hop across a bridge from downtown Mystic. The bountiful food makes this place a local favorite. Get out to this pretty island via Route 1 to Mason's Island Road.
Noah's on Water Street in Stonington Borough, a few miles east of Mystic, is a great eatery with all the basic breakfast favorites and plenty of friendly local conversation on all sides.
Engine Room Restaurant on Holmes Street in Mystic is a good place to rest your feet and grab a bite to eat at the center of your day. This tavern-inspired American joint serves plenty of appetizers, fresh hamburgers, and a broad selection of craft beers.
Mystic Market has two locations at either end of town where hot gourmet meals await you. The market served a huge selection of bakery treats made fresh daily, and over 75 cheese varieties. Mystic Market is an excellent pre-picnic pit stop!
Mystic Pizza at 56 West Main Street is the setting of the movie of the same name, and in fact, the movie plays in a continuous loop on one wall. Pizetta is another very good pizza restaurant just around the corner form Mystic Pizza, on Water Street.
Abbott's Lobster in the Rough on Pearl Street in Mystic's neighbor, the waterside town of Noank, is a true lobster shack with raw picnic tables overlooking Fisher's Island Sound.
Water Street Café in the center of Stonington Borough has great food and a cheery, local atmosphere.
S&P Oyster House, in the very heart of Mystic, at 1 Holmes Street, overlooks the activity on the Mystic River and at Mystic Seaport. Good seafood and a party atmosphere. | https://www.visitnewengland.com/all/editors-choice-mystic-connecticut/ | 2018-10-15T16:49:41 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Almost everyone like swimming that is for sure, because as human we really have serious dependence to water. As human we naturally want to jump into the water and enjoy the swimming. Talking about swimming, the most general place for swimming is of course the swimming pool. There are several types of swimming pools though. The first one is the underground swimming pool or general swimming pool. This type is still divided into two types, the indoor and outdoor swimming pool. Next is the above ground swimming pool which has the flexibility of being moved from one place to another. Next is the infinity swimming pool. This pool type is considered as the beautiful and charming pool. Why? It is because infinity swimming pool has the special visual illusion as if it is edgeless at one of its edges.
Edgeless? Yes, it seems like one of the edges combine with the horizon without edge as the separator. How can be like that? When you have that kind of question, then we should start from the requirements for building this type of pool. Infinity swimming pools must be built in the higher place like hills and cliffs. This is the main requirement since we will need to make a visual illusion as if there is no edge at one of its edges. These pools also cost more (I may say a lot more) than the standard or the above ground swimming pools. They need powerful pump to get the water pumped since the pool itself is placed at high place. Because of the cost which is very high, these kinds of pools cannot be easily found in residents homes. The big resorts do have these pools as their ultimate facilities. But if you have enough money, then you can make one for yourself..

“I knew I was in trouble with this freelancer I hired started doing what he felt would look best instead of doing what I asked. I spent more time asking for my instructions to be done than anything else. I had many problems with our project and the freelancer’s excuse was always, “there’s a bug in the program”. I upgraded my server from the advice of this freelancer, but the problems he was having continued due to his own errors. I finally convinced him he couldn’t just throw his hands up and do nothing and then he finally contacted my service provider for advice. The response he received from my service provider told him he didn’t know what he was doing in the first place. I wouldn’t recommend this freelancer or work with him again. He is unprofessional, bids low but constantly asks for more money, and is stubborn and would not follow the scope of work!

WHILE the big boys of football struggle to weather financial storms one Merthyr Tydfil club has been thrown a funding lifeline.
Troedyrhiw FC have been embroiled in a battle at the bottom of the Welsh League Division Three, where eight teams will be relegated at the end of the season in a streamlining move.
But those who don’t follow the league closely may not know they risked being thrown out of the league anyway – for not having a spectator stand.
But with the Biffa fund now accessible to councillors again after being frozen before the New Year, a £7,000 grant has meant Troedyrhiw’s future will be decided on the field, not off it.
Secured by ward councillor Brent Carter, the £7,000 will now be used for constructing a purpose-build stand for the dedicated supporters.
Speaking from the football ground, Councillor Brent Carter said this funding would be a big boost to a community passionate about their club.
“Troedyrhiw have an excellent football team and it would have been a crying shame if the efforts of the players, coaches and loyal fans were scuppered due to the lack of a stand,” said Coun Carter.
“I'm delighted that the supporters will soon be able to enjoy matches in the comfort of a new stand and hope it will see the team go from strength to strength.”
Chairman of Troedyrhiw FC, Roger Howells, said the future of the club was looking a lot brighter.
“We were all pretty worried for a time that we may be relegated from the Welsh league after working so hard this past season,” he said.
“Everyone involved with the Club is grateful for the help Brent has given us. He's certainly our man of the match!”
Troedyrhiw FC is currently sitting in the last relegation spot of the Third Division, but have taken seven points from their last three games.
They only need to jump one place to ensure safety, and Pontyclun and Cwmamman United are just a point ahead. | https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/other-sport/football-cash-lifeline-troed-fc-1928741 | 2018-10-15T18:38:21 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

WBEZ News
Double Threat: What’s Going On In Your Government Wednesday
We call it “the double threat.”
When the stars align, both the Chicago City Council and the Cook County Board meet on the same Wednesday for a two-pronged throwdown of local government action at 121 N. LaSalle St.
This month, Chicago aldermen will consider whether to dole out even more millions to settle police misconduct cases, and they may want to know whether you think marijuana should help pay for schools. On the other side of the building, the County Board is set to jump into a debate that could decide how the medical examiner investigates violent and suspicious deaths.
Here’s what to watch for on Wednesday.
Police misconduct payouts climb
The bill for police misconduct in Chicago is set to grow by nearly $6.5 million Wednesday. Chicago aldermen are scheduled to vote on four legal settlements, the largest of which is for $3.5 million. That payout would go to Patrick Hampton, who was convicted of assault and attempted rape at a concert in the early 1980s. The conviction was thrown out in 2001.
The smallest of the proposed settlements, for $150,000, is for a case involving Police Cmdr. Glenn Evans and three other cops. WBEZ has reported that the city has already paid out more than $600,000 in settlements and judgements involving Evans.
You know those random questions on your ballot?
Expect some more of them, but don’t get too excited.
These are nonbinding referenda aldermen must approve ahead of the November election, so your “yes” or “no” doesn’t change anything. Think of it as an Election Day public opinion poll.
Chicago voters may be asked whether they think money from legalized marijuana should help pay for public schools and mental health services. And whether the city should push for longtime homeowners to get property tax exemptions. And whether Chicago should ban plastic drinking straws.
(No joke: Rules Committee Chairman Michelle Harris couldn’t hold back her giggles when she read the straw question aloud in committee on Tuesday.)
Aldermen could take a final vote on the ballot questions Wednesday.
New affordable housing in Chicago … or not
Chicago’s lack of affordable housing is already becoming a 2019 campaign issue.
On Wednesday, Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office is set to introduce a flurry of new initiatives meant to remedy the problem. Aldermen are also expected to greenlight a proposal aimed at homeowners in the rapidly gentrifying area near the 606 Bloomingdale Trail. The program would allocate $1 million to eligible homeowners seeking forgivable grants to renovate or repair their homes.
But each new affordable housing program may not necessarily lead to more affordable housing.
That’s because of a long-standing, unwritten City Council practice called “aldermanic prerogative,” which basically gives aldermen de facto veto power over development projects in their wards. Northwest Side Ald. Anthony Napolitano (41st Ward) wielded that power on Tuesday to block a proposed project that would have built 30 affordable apartments near O’Hare Airport.
Where the streets have no name?
Ald. Sophia King (4th Ward) and Ald. Brendan Reilly (42nd Ward) found themselves in a firestorm when their proposal to rename Balbo Drive after African-American journalist Ida B. Wells wasn’t given a hearing.
So forget Balbo: On Wednesday, the pair plans to introduce an ordinance to instead rename Congress Parkway in Wells’ honor.
“We wanted to separate the issue of Balbo, and whether that should be renamed or not, with honoring a great legacy that Ida B. Wells left us,” King said.
That means Balbo Drive, named after Italian fascist Italo Balbo, will keep its name for now. King said the fight over renaming Balbo is a “separate issue.”
Chicago gets a new alderman
Mayor Rahm Emanuel is taking a page out of the old Chicago playbook — appointing a new alderman to the 23rd Ward just eight months before the citywide election. State Rep. Silvana Tabares (D-Chicago) will replace Ald. Mike Zalewski, who retired last month. He represents the area around Midway Airport and served as the powerful chair of the City Council’s Aviation Committee.
New rules for death investigations?
Wednesday on the Cook County side of 121 N. LaSalle St., the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office might get more leeway when deciding which death scenes to visit.
The County Board could vote to amend an existing ordinance that would allow Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Ponni Arunkumar to use “discretion” when deciding which cases require scene visits.
Now, there’s confusion about whether existing law requires the medical examiner’s office to visit the scenes of violent or suspicious deaths. Going to the scene is useful because the office’s investigators collect evidence that helps pathologists determine how people die.
Another proposed change calls for agencies that report deaths to the medical examiner’s office, including police and hospitals, to do so immediately.
The potential shifts follow a Chicago Sun-Times investigation that found the medical examiner’s office allegedly flouted the law, going to fewer than one in five death scenes between 2014 and 2017. Democratic Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle recently criticized the report, saying death scene visits have climbed under her watch and proposed changes strengthen the law.

Stability Testing and CLSI EP25-A
A new CLSI guideline has come out with recommendations on the best way to calculate and interpret the stability of IVD reagents. We are pleased to present an essay by James Pierson-Perry, the chairholder of the CLSI subcommittee that developed the guideline, that introduces the concepts and the new recommendations.

Bias, imprecision, and stability are the fundamental components of most analytical performance attributes for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) reagents. Of these, bias and imprecision are well understood by manufacturers and laboratory scientists. There are internationally accepted protocols for establishment of their claims1,2 and performance verification is done routinely in clinical laboratories.
Stability, in contrast, has greater variability in meaning among both manufacturers and users. This is in large part because stability is not a directly measured characteristic but rather is understood as the capability for a product to retain its stated composition, properties, and performance. As such, stability claims for a product depend on which specific product attributes were assessed over time by the manufacturer. Stability claims are routinely accepted by users from a product’s instructions for use and are only indirectly verified in the laboratory through long-term quality control behavior or similar data.
For this discussion, IVD reagents is taken to include end-use products for diagnostic testing such as reagent kits, calibrators, control materials, sample diluents, etc. The basic stability claims for such products are shelf life—the period of time over which a product remains viable for use when kept under manufacturer recommended storage conditions—and in-use life—the period of time that a product remains viable once placed into use (e.g., opened vial of control material, calibration interval of a reagent kit, etc).
The “Law of Pharma”
There is a wealth of literature reports and regulatory guidance documents relative to assessment of bias and imprecision for IVD reagents. Similar information on stability assessment, however, is considerably more scant. In the US, the FDA requires that IVD reagent manufacturers include stability information as part of their product labeling3 but provides no direct guidance on how to establish such claims. Manufacturers instead are directed to regulations governing drugs and drug substances for information on establishing stability claims4.
In contrast to IVD reagents, the pharmaceutical industry has a great deal of literature on stability experimental design, data analysis, and practical considerations for conducting studies. Key learnings from this knowledge are collected in a series of internationally recognized guidance documents: International Conference on Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use.5,6
In 2002, a consensus standard addressing stability testing needs for IVD reagents was released by the European Committee for Standardization. This standard, EN 136407, incorporated best practices from the pharma guidance documents to provide high-level information on terminology, types of stability claims necessary for IVD reagents, and requirements for establishing such claims.
More recently, CLSI released EP25-A: Evaluation of Stability of In Vitro Diagnostic Reagents.8 This document provides a practical implementation of the concepts in the EN 13640 and ICH standards for manufacturers to use in establishment of stability claims for IVD reagents.
Elements of Product Stability Testing
While it is possible to establish stability claims by testing all product attributes over time, a more practical approach is to test only those which are identified as key attributes. This leads to a product specific definition of stability based on three elements:
- selection of the “key” product attributes to be tested
- specification of the associated acceptance criteria
- statement of the desired statistical confidence and power for the analyses
The period of time over which all key attributes meet their acceptance criteria within the desired statistical confidence is taken as the product stability duration. As the components of this definition will vary widely across different products, no single testing protocol would be suitable.
Key attributes should be selected which are most likely to reveal potentially significant changes in product quality, safety, and efficacy during storage and while in use. Manufacturers may choose to draw from physical, chemical, biological, microbiological properties, as well as analytical performance indicators.
One of the most common key attributes is the apparent change in measured quantity of an analyte over time, referred to as measurand drift. This may be used to assess either actual changes in concentration (e.g., for control products or calibrators) or changes in measurement bias of a method (e.g., calibration interval) over time. Such changes may be measured on an absolute basis or as relative basis referenced to product maintained under presumed stable conditions.
Suitable acceptance criteria for key attributes may come from multiple sources: product design input requirements, established quality goals for methods (e.g., CLIA, RiliBÄK), historical data of similar products, etc. Quite often, multiple test samples will be used to assess analytical performance attributes over the method range. In these cases, the minimum stability duration for any one sample should be used as the overall stability duration for that product lot.
CLSI EP25-A requires that establishment of stability estimates be based upon considerations of statistical confidence and power for creating experimental protocols and subsequent data analyses. The number of replicates and timing of test points should be chosen so as to adequately discern trending from variability of the results.
Types of Stability Studies
Both EN 13640 and CLSI EP25-A describe the need for different types of product stability testing. Shelf-life studies are used to establish expiration dating for an IVD reagent in the final packaging under defined storage conditions. This represents the interval from product manufacture to the final day of usability—whether or not it is ever actually put into use. The guidance documents require that three product lots be used to establish shelf-life claims.
In contrast, in-use claims define the period of time in which the product remains suitable after being placed into use. Example of such claims include the duration that a control product may be used after being first opened or that a method may be used prior to needing routine recalibration. A single product lot may be used to establish these claims but it is wise to use more.
The third type of testing is known as transport simulation or, more simply, stress testing. These studies involve an exposure of sample product to sets of predetermined changes in environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity, light exposure, etc.) over time in order to simulate worst case conditions that a product might endure during its distribution cycle prior to customer receipt. Results of such studies help identify appropriate shipping and handling conditions for a product. The stress testing conditions used may come from a manufacturer’s own studies on actual product distribution or from references such as ASTM:D4169-05.9 At least one product lot must go through this testing.
Stability Testing Plan
CLSI EP25-A requires establishment of a stability testing plan prior to the start of any testing. This plan documents what is to be tested, experimental protocols and details for the testing, and acceptance criteria. Typical expected elements of the plan include:
- Identification of the product
- Which type(s) of stability studies will be done
- Product attributes to be tested
- Acceptance criteria for each test
- Number of product lots to be tested
- Materials and experimental designs to use for testing
- Sampling plan (i.e., how to select representative product samples from a lot)
- Testing schedule
The testing schedule should extend beyond the desired stability duration. This will ensure that the estimate falls within the testing period with no extrapolation and takes into account that consideration of confidence intervals often leads to more conservative stability estimates than would be obtained otherwise. It is expected that sufficient testing replicates will be used to ensure adequate statistical power of the stability estimates.
There are two basic approaches to design of stability studies. The classical approach has product put into the desired storage conditions on Day 0, then testing is done per schedule with product taken from storage. There are no prerequisites for this design and interim results are available following each testing point. A disadvantage of this design is its susceptibility to influence from variability in measurement processes over the study duration and bias from changes in measurement processes due to instrument maintenance activities, reagent lot changes, or component failure.
An alternate approach is the isochronous design.10 Here, product also is put into storage on Day 0 but on each day of the schedule, product is simply removed from storage and put into presumed stable storage conditions (e.g., -70 ºC). At the end of the study, all product samples are taken and run in a randomized order as a single batch. This design greatly minimizes variability and bias of the measurement process, relative to the classical design. Disadvantages are that stability estimates are not available until the final testing point and that a stable interim storage condition must be available. This experimental design is particularly useful with studies of short duration (e.g., control product in-use stability).
Measurand Drift Example
The following example, taken from CLSI EP25-A8, illustrates the impact that consideration of statistical confidence may have on establishing shelf-life stability by measurand drift.
A new IVD reagent for ferritin was used to test several quality control and human serum pool samples, with concentrations that fell across the assay range, over a duration of 402 days. At the end of the study, the mean observed [ferritin] values versus test days were analyzed by standard linear regression for each sample. The p values for all slopes but one were > 0.15, indicative of no significant change over the testing period. The one sample with a significant slope (p < 0.001) was for a serum pool near the high end of the assay range.
The measurand drift acceptance criterion was ± 5%. As the Day 0 value for this sample was 1855.0 µg/L, the allowable upper limit for observed ferritin concentration was 1947.8 µg/L. The data were plotted and an upper 95% confidence interval was constructed about the regression line. A one-sided confidence limit was used as the expected positive increase in observed results was anticipated from previous studies. A stability estimate of 395 days was identified at the intersection of this confidence interval with the maximum allowable ferritin concentration.
Plot taken from CLSI. Evaluation of Stability of In Vitro Diagnostic Reagents; Approved Guideline. CLSI document EP25-A. Wayne, PA: Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute; 2009. Reprinted with permission.
If the confidence interval is ignored, the stability estimate is computed from the regression fit statistics (slope = 0.2011, Y-intercept = 1855.0) as:
(Allowable Drift Limit – Y-intercept)/Slope = Stability Estimate
(1947.8 – 1856.0)/0.2011 = 461 days
As expected, use of the confidence interval results in a significantly more conservative stability estimate than otherwise.
What About Accelerated Stability Testing?
Accelerated stability testing refers to the use of more stressful storage conditions than normal in order to cause product degradation on a faster time scale than would normally occur. Such studies may be useful for:
- comparing the relative effectiveness of variant product formulations or packaging options
- identifying modes of instability for product risk analyses
- assessing the impact of proposed changes to product design or manufacture
- providing early estimates of product stability
A significant concern with accelerated testing is that application of stress storage conditions could cause product instability through mechanisms that would not occur under normal storage conditions. In addition, not all products will follow a predictable failure trend and might show acceptable performance up to the moment of failure.
While accelerated testing can be of great use when making product design decisions, the general expectation of regulatory agencies is that product stability claims will be based on real-time data. There are cases where accelerated testing data alone has been sufficient but, more often than not, such data are expected to be followed with final results from real-time studies. It is good practice to check first with relevant regulatory agencies on what stability data would be required for a specific product.

]FOOTBALL Federation Australia will blame Clive Palmer for Gold Coast United's axing from the A-League when officials tell a consortium attempting to save the club that their efforts have amounted to nothing. [/b]
The bad news will be delivered as early as tomorrow, with FFA no longer interested in having a Gold Coast team in the A-League, preferring to rush in a western Sydney franchise to ensure the competition remains at 10 clubs next season.
FFA propped up Gold Coast until last Sunday's end of the regular season after stripping mining magnate Palmer of United's A-League licence on February 29 for breaching the club participation agreement.
Palmer has vowed to sue FFA for $20 million in damages unless he is handed back United's licence, but this will not stop the sport's national governing body from dumping a second Queensland club in the space of 12 months after discarding North Queensland Fury from the competition in March last year.
"We'll never know what that club (Gold Coast) could have amounted to," an FFA spokesman said. "The club was never given a chance because of the way it was run by him (Palmer).
"It was never our intention to only have one club in Queensland when we added North Queensland and Gold Coast to the competition three years ago."
A consortium headed by Gold Coast mayoral candidate Tom Tate and steered by entrepreneur Geoffrey Schuhkraft say they are still waiting for exact FFA guidelines as to what's required to save the club apart from an unrealistic verbal demand of a guaranteed $5 million in backing by next week.
Schuhkraft said transparency was required and that the consortium needed to be told by FFA if they were wasting their time in trying to keep a Gold Coast team in the A-League.
"I'm sure that the Queensland football community will not entertain or tolerate the thought of the Gold Coast franchise being sacrificed to facilitate another New South Wales franchise being located in western Sydney," Schuhkraft said.
"That would deliver four A-League franchises in NSW and only one in Queensland, despite Queensland being the second largest area of participation in the sport (in Australia).
"Hasn't it always been the desire and plans to spread and grow the sport into a truly national league?"

The National Party allegedly used Eminem’s Lose Yourself as an election song and last night it hit me that while a good song can really enhance an election campaign message it could also be used as a negative campaigning tool. We have had Dirty Politics so now I would like to introduce Murky Music. Your challenge should you choose to accept it is to choose a theme song for one or more political parties that draws attention to them in a bad way (A Musical “hit job” in other words)
I will start the competition off with a song for the Labour Party. I chose it because funding must be a key issue for them. | https://www.whaleoil.co.nz/2017/05/political-song-competition/ | 2018-10-15T18:30:06 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Hunter is determined to speak to Phil and he heads off to see him. He pretends to Phil that he’s interested in following up Phil’s promise to show him the ropes at the garage. But what is Hunter really up to? When Mel finds Hunter with Phil, she tries to get him to leave but eventually gives in to Hunter’s persuasion and lets him stay.
Bernie pops in to see Ted but he’s waiting for his daughter Judith to turn up now that he’s given her the tragic news about Joyce. When Judith arrives, she doesn’t have the grandkids with her as expected, and coldly tries to take control of the situation. When it clicks that Joyce died a few days ago, Judith is furious with her dad for delaying telling her. Judith breaks down and accuses Ted of being a bad husband to Joyce.
Judith agrees to go to the café with Ted, once he’s calmed her down. When they bump into Bernice, Ted ends up sitting down and playing chess with her. Judith is hurt by Ted’s obvious pride in Bernie and blurts out that Ted never bothered about his own family. She also accuses Ted of trying to ruin her wedding, before storming out…
Also, Kat’s grand plans to make a fresh start in the Square are quashed. | https://www.whatsontv.co.uk/events/mel-hunter-stay-away-phil-eastenders/ | 2018-10-15T17:13:36 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

James Perch expects response from Latics after Blackpool defeat.
James Perch says Latics have to be ruthless if they are to secure their place in the Sky Bet Championship play-offs at Birmingham City on Tuesday evening.
Latics need a win from their final two games to guarantee their place in the top six whilst Lee Clark’s Blues will need an upturn in fortunes if they are to stay in the division after their home defeat to Leeds United on Saturday saw them drop into the relegation zone.
And Perch says Latics must take advantage of Birmingham’s alarming slide at St. Andrew’s on Tuesday.
“Birmingham lost at the weekend and they’ll be low on confidence but they’ll have fight and spirit similarly to Blackpool and we've got to conquer that and be ruthless to Birmingham,” Perch explained.
“Their home form isn’t great, its 90 minutes and stats etc. don’t really matter on the night; it’s about what we can do on Tuesday and it’s not nice to say but we’ve got to try and bury Birmingham and secure our own play-off place.”
Perch featured once again on Saturday as Latics rued missed first-half chances on a difficult afternoon at the DW Stadium as Blackpool came away 2-0 winners, keeping their own survival bid alive.
And Perch feels the game with the Seasiders proved perfect preparation for Tuesday’s clash with the Blues, adding that the first goal will be important, a lesson learnt from Saturday’s defeat.
“I just think not scoring the first goal proved to be vital, especially in a game where Blackpool were scrapping for the lives,” he added.
“I think if we got the first goal they’d have been dead and buried - it just didn’t happen for us on the day.
“We didn’t capitalise on the couple of chances we had in the first-half and then they got their tails up and sensed they could get something out of the game and fair play to them.
“Our focus is on Tuesday, if we get the three points there we secure the play-off place and we always knew we’d need the three points to secure that spot so Blackpool is one game chalked off and we have to go again against Birmingham.” | https://www.wiganathletic.com/news/2014/april/we-need-to-be-ruthless-says-james-perch/ | 2018-10-15T18:23:06 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Martin Stanton
Martin Stanton (born 21 March 1950) is a British writer, teacher and psychoanalyst.
Contents
Biography[edit]
He is known for his pioneering work in establishing Psychoanalytic Studies as a distinct and thriving academic subject that is now taught in universities around the world – he founded the first prototype Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Kent in Canterbury, UK, in 1986. He is equally known for his innovative and challenging work on the nature and function of unconscious processes. This began this with his first book Outside the Dream (1983) – and originally and free-associatively explored the vital impact of Lacanian thinking on contemporary psychoanalysis at that time (when Lacan was largely unknown in the English-speaking world). The book was equally a poetic account of Stanton's own early personal engagement with psychoanalysis. He spent much of the 1970s training to be an analyst in Paris, and was a student at the Ecole Normale Superieure, where he attended classes and lectures by Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari and Michel Foucault, whose teaching variously resonates in the footnotes to the book.
He followed Outside the Dream with a critical introduction to Sándor Ferenczi (1991) – which was the first major study of the pioneer Hungarian psychoanalyst, and this provoked a widely celebrated "Ferenczi renaissance" (Berman, 2002) in both the psychotherapeutic and cultural worlds. In the 1990s, he opened up large avenues in Ferenczi's thinking that were previously undiscovered, above all the critical value of utraquism – or the productive and free-associative use of analogies – in analytic work with unconscious processes, in particular the use of the analogy of the teratoma (an embryonic form of tumour) to engage with the after-effects of sexual abuse.
In Paris, Stanton also became closely linked with the work of the French psychoanalyst Jean Laplanche, and, through him, became actively involved in seminal debates on the central role of afterwardsness in the unconscious psychological process of trauma. These debates are now generally referred to under the general title of the new seduction theory. In this context, in 1998, Stanton launched his own notion of the bezoaric effect, which was developed from an analogy with animals' production of bezoar stones from progressive digestive regurgitations in wild and desert terrain (1998). At the same time, his book Out of Order (1997) presented an extensive critical review of his own contributions in the light of his psychoanalytic forebears, Ferenczi, Michael Balint, and Laplanche.
In this context, Out of Order was clearly written to re-connect psychoanalytic clinical work to its founding revolutionary impetus in the residual unconscious, and help people gain the strength and insight to remain open to unpredictable and unforeseen change, and to challenge their world, rather than conform and adapt to increasingly confined norms.
Work[edit]
Stanton's work strongly opposes the core strategies of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, notably in the way in which it aims to "manage" the production of symptoms of mental disorders. Above all, he sets out to expose how the prioritisation of cognition distorts and actively diminishes the elaborative complexity of conscious and unconscious life – notably by imposing set forms of linear causality (such as dialectics), and privileging projective ego-based thought-process over introjection (which centrally concerns the impact of feeling/sensations on thinking).
He chooses rather to explore the alternative dynamics generated within the interactive space between primary feeling/sensations and cognitive process. A central focus here is the elaborative feeling/thought dynamic that follows a primary feeling/sensory input (introjection) – or the particular inner-outer reverberations that follow once the psyche is struck or hit by something.
First of all, there are psychic contusions – psychic elaborations which evolve like bruises which brighten and darken, colour-up, and shift around feeling/sensation pin-point triggers (which Stanton calls contundors). Then there are the imagos, the amalgams generated from various bits of visual/sensation material that randomly stick together to form an evanescent image or sound that freeze-frames the ongoing narrative.
Finally, there are the set interactive systemic structures of effect, generated by primary feeling/sensory introjections, that form initially around contundors, and then subsequently progressively elaborate after-effects around imagos. Stanton has so far introduced and elaborated on the following general interactive systemic structures:
- the bezoaric effect – a post-traumatic systemic effect – which progresses like the successive regurgitations of mountain and desert animals, as well as humans in extremis, which shift and re-work undigested material until all the feeling and meaning is extracted, and only the bezoar stone – the traumatic jewel – remains. 'In the bezoaric effect...unconscious elements of traumatic experience shift, realign and transform through communicative exchange in therapy'.[1]
- the caddis effect – a defensive systemic effect – which progresses in a similar way as the caddis insect constructs its defensive pupa-case, by surrounding the ego-core with bright and beautiful shiny ready-mades from the surrounding cultural environment.
- the karaoke effect – a transcendent sublime systemic effect – where the set narrative links between thoughts and feelings suddenly disengage along zip lines (immortalized by Barnett Newman), and transpose into an independent and often contradictory narrative. As with karaoke, a pre-formed ready-made potential space opens to take centre-stage and burst into song, and
- the medusa effect – an anxiety-producing systemic effect – where primary-sourced feeling-sensations stick like glue, then ensnare the critical function of thinking. Like a jellyfish (also called a medusa), the medusa effect generates a glutinous mass which spreads out tentacles to sting and progressively deaden the subject. It installs panic as an automatic reflex, which is activated precisely at the point where thought-cycles are switched off by primary feeling-sensations. The medusa effect also evokes Ovid's Medusa, the beautiful woman raped by Poseidon, who Athena subsequently transforms into a snake-locked monster, who turns all who gaze on her into stone. Perseus manages to behead her without stone-transmogrification, by looking at her image reflected in his shield – and so inspires further reflection on the role of observation in working with anxiety and panic.

Maine Child Endangerment Charges Attorney
Defense Attorneys Serving Biddeford, Saco, Bangor, Augusta and Portland Areas
OUI is the term used in Maine to describe drunk driving. Other states use the terms DUI or DWI, but all of these terms refer to the same crime. Lawmakers all over the country look to crackdown on those who drink and drive, especially when they endanger the lives of others. When a driver is arrested for DUI and a child is present in the car, they can also be charged with child endangerment. Maine does not have specific laws that apply to child endangerment, but there are increased penalties for driving impaired with a minor. You can be arrested for OUI in Maine if one of two conditions apply:
- You are under the influence of alcohol with a blood alcohol concentration of .08% (.08 grams of alcohol per 100 ml of blood or 210 L of breath) or greater
- You are under the influence of an intoxicant (any natural or artificial chemical substance that, when taken into the human body, can impair the ability of the person to safely operate a motor vehicle.)
If police suspect that you are driving under the influence of either drugs or alcohol or both, you will be arrested on suspicion of OUI. If you have a passenger in the car at the time of your arrest that is under the age of 21, you will face additional penalties. You will need an experienced OUI defense attorney.
Child Endangerment Lawyer in Maine
Endangering the Welfare of a Minor
Of the children killed in drunk driving accidents in one year, over 90% of them were passengers of a driver who was under the influence of alcohol. As alcohol causes the driver to suffer from impaired reasoning and concentration, they will be less likely to ensure that the child is properly restrained as well as focus on driving. This is considered a form of child abuse and those who violate this law could suffer from severe penalties. If you are accused of DUI in Maine and a minor is present in the car, you could also be charged with child endangerment. Not only does a child endangerment conviction mean more penalties, it can also cause you problems in the future in child custody cases.
Penalties of Child Endangerment in Maine
Unlike other states that consider minors under 14 subject to child endangerment, Maine states that a passenger under 21 is considered to be a minor. According to the Maine Revised Statutes §2411 (2003), there are certain offenses which require a a minimum of jail time. These include driving with a BAC of 0.15% or higher, driving at speeds 30 mph above the speed limit, attempting to evade the police officer, or having a passenger in the car that is under the age of 21. The Portland criminal justice system takes this offense very seriously.
A first or second OUI charge in a 10 year period is generally a Class D offense. Once you have had 2 or more OUI convictions within 10 years, all new charges will be Class C offenses. The penalties for these offenses include:
- First or Second Offense: These are Class D offenses with penalties of minimum fines of $600 for a first offense and $700 for a second. The fine will increase if a chemical sobriety test was refused. You will also face a license suspension of 90 days for a first offense and 3 years for a second offense. In addition, you will be sentenced to at least 48 hours of jail time for a first OUI offense if a passenger under 21 was present. A second offense will also land you 7 days in jail and alcohol or drug treatment.
- Third or More Offense: These offenses are Class C charges. Sentences include $1,100 in fines for a third offense and $2,100 for an y subsequent offenses. You will also face 30 days to six months of jail as well as 10 years of license suspension. Class C offenses include mandatory enrollment in drug or alcohol treatment and 4 or more prior convictions will result in installation of an ignition interlock system.
On top of these charges, you will receive an additional 275 days of license suspension if you are arrested for OUI and there is a minor under 21 in your vehicle.
Maine OUI Defense Lawyer
Depending on the seriousness of the offense, the minimum amount of time they will have to spend in jail is 48 hours. If they refused to submit to a field sobriety test or a breath and blood test, they will have to pay a $600 fine. If they submitted to alcohol testing, this fine will be reduced to $500. There will be an immediate court-ordered driver's license suspension for 90 days, but this will increase if there was a child in the car. If you have more questions regarding this offense, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our office. We will do everything in our power to protect you and your best interests. | https://www.williamblylaw.com/Criminal-Defense/DUI/Child-Endangerment.aspx | 2018-10-15T16:45:44 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Wind power generators handed $600 million in federal subsidies
Credit: Wind power generators handed$600 million in federal subsidies | Meredith Booth, Reporter, Adelaide | The Australian | February 28, 2017 | ~~
Wind power generators received $600 million in federal subsidies last year, helping to drive an increase in electricity prices for consumers.
Data collated by Australian Power Project, which advocates a sustainable national energy policy, showed $588.7m was paid to wind farm operators.
Wind made up almost 75 per cent of all green power generated in a sector that was paid $790m to help reach a national renewable energy target of 23.5 per cent by 2020.
A spokeswoman for the Clean Energy Regulator said the high market share of wind generation would likely fall towards 2020 as new large-scale solar power generation came into operation.
Australian Power Project chief executive Nathan Vass, a former AGL and Fortescue Metals executive, described subsidies as a wind farm “leg-up”.
He said it was a “bonus payment” to wind generation which also sold power directly to retailers. The money was paid for generating 12.6 million large scale generation certificates for each megawatt of power.
The LGC price had led to an increase in costs for retailers, but they were able to pass this on to consumers.
“These subsidies fundamentally allow renewable energy companies to compete with stable coal and gas-fired power stations despite their inability to deliver reliable electricity,’’ Mr Vass said.
The Australian Energy Market Commission estimates that environmental and other policies account for up to 15 per cent of retail power prices, with average prices having risen 4.7 per cent last year.
Clean Energy Council chief executive Kane Thornton said the RET was helping to leverage private investment, amounting to $10 billion for large scale projects by 2020.
