Volume Title
Regions have become the engine for growth of the EU, for further development of these regions interregional cooperation is required. This research will investigate this understudied topic, focusing on interregional cooperation projects. Specifically, this research aims to find out: 'How do key factors influence the perceived effectiveness of interregional cooperation projects of the Interreg IVC programme?' The answer is found in a few steps. I have studied the network governance and proximity literature to create a list of 7 preliminary key factors. Then I analyzed seven project cases making use of project documentation and 18 semi-structured interviews. I have compared these cases with as result five key factors for effective interregional cooperation projects: leadership, commitment of project partners, internalization, experience and language compatibility. The influence of these factors is presented making use of an explanatory model for the effectiveness of Interreg IVC projects. This model is a preliminary model for interregional cooperation project effectiveness in general. However, future study of this model is needed to validate this model as a general model for effectiveness of interregional cooperation projects. Meanwhile, the outcome of this study will be helpful to build more effective interregional cooperation projects for the Interreg programme.

Straw-colored, this rum gives the nose notes of ripe exotic fruits. Solvent notes too but it may be more copper ... On the palate, alcohol is present, but well integrated. It's straight, well done, beautiful structure. Exotic fruits are always present and all become pastry. A final for me a little bit too short on floral notes?

Un superbe nez duquel ressort un mélange de lait de coco/ caoutchouc/ fruits confits/ cannelle. Un régal.
L'attaque n'est pas violente, l'alcool est bien géré. On retrouve ce que le nez annonçait avec du bois en plus.
La finale est longue et va d'un léger boisé, à une saveur de crêpes, en passant par des fruits (raisin un peu amère)
Une belle surprise et un très bon rapport qualité/prix.

Having a safe and comfortable work environment is not only prescribed in law, it makes good business sense.
NZ sound laws are based on industry Standards.
Until 2007, IEC-651 (renamed to IEC-60651) defined standards for sound level meters. The current specification is IEC-61672-1. For meaningful, repeatable sound measurements, it's a good idea to look at meters manufactured to comply to the latest Standard.
The 2013 IEC-61672 Standard is divided into 3 sections:
Part 1 gives electro-acoustical performance specifications for three kinds of sound measuring instruments:
Part 2 provides details of the tests necessary to verify conformance to all mandatory specifications for the above types of meters
Part 3 describes procedures for periodic testing of the above types of meters.
Measuring noise levels is more difficult than it might appear at first. Human hearing is far from linear; we hear much more poorly at low frequencies (bass) and very high frequencies (treble). Beside frequency, human hearing is also non-linear in respect of perceived volume. Human hearing is in fact logarithmic such that a doubling in Sound Pressure Level (SPL) is perceived by us as an only moderate increase in volume.
The Decibel is a logarithmic unit of measure used to compensate for this effect. Because the scale is logarithmic, it's worth remembering that an increase of a few decibels (dB) represents a very large change in perceived volume.
As mentioned earlier, human ears are non-linear with respect to frequency (pitch) as well as volume.
As early as the 1920's a pair of scientists developed the Fletcher-Munson curves to show human hearing perception at different frequencies and volumes.
What the chart shows it that at very quiet volumes, one cannot hear low bass, but at medium high frequencies sound can be easily heard. (Some evolutionist theory suggests that human hearing is keenest in the range of spoken word being 1 to 3 kHz)
As the volume level increases, this effect reduces. This is why many sound systems (especially automotive systems) have a button marked "Loudness". This boosts low bass and high treble to compensate for low volumes, but is commonly used incorrectly to cause a preponderance of bass.
Hence using a linear noise measurement instrument, although accurate, gives a very poor representation of the experience of a human listener.
Sound level meters are used to check sound levels. If we were to use a sound level meter with a linear or flat response, this would accurately show the sound level in the room. This is useful for some tasks, but if we're wanting to look at what human beings experience, it is not. Remember our hearing is NOT linear or flat.
Hence we add 'weighting'. We modify the frequency response of our instrument to mimic our human perception so we can measure the effect of what a person will experience.
A-weighting mimics human perception. The Fletcher-Munson curves show that we hear more poorly at low frequencies, thus we make the instrument less sensitive at lower frequencies. (Consider the A-weighting curve, blue, in the graph. Note how the sensitivity to sound rolls away from 1000 Hz and down)
Nearly all sound level meters will have switching for "A" or "C" weighting. If we want to measure the sound level as a human will perceive it, we'd use A-weighting. If we want to measure the actual sound pressure level in an absolute sense, we use C-weighting which is virtually linear.
Safety standards from Worksafe NZ or other regulatory bodies will define whether one is to use "A" or "C" weighting.
Incidentally the blue whale is not only the largest, but also the loudest animal in the world. They generate underwater sound levels of up to 180 dB! Which explains why they can hear each other half way around the world. Follow this link for an interesting video of whale song.
Working SafelyA detailed analysis of the standards relating to noise in the workplace is beyond the scope of this article. Good documents may be found on the Worksafe NZ website by following this link
But to summarise and paraphrase, 85 dB (A) is the point at which exposure needs to be limited and protection used. It's surprising how easily this level can be reached! Close exposure to a vacuum cleaner for example.
Incidentally the term 'close exposure' is apt. Distance-to-source plays a large role in the sound level. Sound from a point source follows the 'inverse-square law', such that every doubling of distance, halves the volume.
So when reading specifications, take careful note of distances quoted.
Calibration of Sound MetersMany users do not require traceable calibration of these instruments, however it is good practice to check the instrument prior to use. Portable sound level calibrators are small sound generation devices that produce a fixed tone and sound level, usually at 2 levels, to check the performance of your sound level meter. If a higher level of calibration and traceability is required, please refer to www.ianz.govt.nz for a list of qualified laboratories.
'Point source' is mentioned above, as you may have noticed line-array speaker's at large concerts, or column speakers in churches or even electrostatic speakers in top home hi-fi systems. These three examples are line-sources as opposed to point sources and don't obey the inverse square law; decaying at a far slower, linear rate (hence their use in these applications).
Because of the logarithmic nature of human hearing, audio amplifier power out specifications become interesting. For example if one has an amplifier rated at 10 watts RMS output, how many watts would one require to double the perceived volume? One might assume 20 watts, but that's incorrect. A doubling of amplifier power produces a very mild 3 dB increase in the volume we hear. 100 watts (i.e. 10 times!) is the power required to achieve twice the volume. (3 dB is sometimes described as the smallest easily perceptible change in volume. 1 dB is the smallest possible to perceive change in volume).
The relationship is defined by the formula 10 X log (Power 2/Power 1).
Some years ago a loudspeaker company (Cerwin Vega) did very well in certain markets by making speakers that were much more efficient. In this way they were able to achieve far louder volumes than most other speakers, regardless of their power output.
Typical speakers have an efficiency of around 80 to 90 dB for an input of 1 watt RMS. Cerwin Vega made speakers with an efficiency of 100 to 102 dB for an input of 1 watt RMS so that it was a doubling of volume using the same amplifier!
In the 80's a classic retail demonstration was to play a Sony Walkman direct into a set of Cerwin Vegas! | commoncrawl |
Introduction: The Stage is Set
The recent rulings from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida in the case of Casey M. White et al. vs. GM Law Firm LLC mark a significant milestone in the ongoing battle against predatory practices within the U.S. student loan debt industry. With the court denying GM Law Firm's motion for summary judgment, the case is now advancing to a jury trial in January 2024. This development is not just a procedural step; it symbolizes a critical juncture in the fight for accountability in an industry often criticized for exploiting vulnerable borrowers.
The Heart of the Matter: Plaintiffs' Triumph in Legal Maneuvering
The decision to deny the motion for summary judgment is pivotal. It allows the plaintiffs' claim concerning the alleged breach of fiduciary duty through an illegal advance fee "student loan debt elimination" scheme, to be thoroughly examined by a jury. This outcome is a testament to the effectiveness of the plaintiffs' legal strategy, showcasing their ability to navigate complex legal waters to bring their grievances to light, and playing the legal hand they're dealt..
The denial of GM Law Firm's motion for Rule 11 sanctions further strengthens the plaintiffs' position. The court's ruling that the Amended Complaint was not filed in bad faith demonstrates the seriousness of the plaintiffs' accusations, and the commitment GM Law Firm to silence these Plaintiffs. This decision ultimately underscores the judiciary's commitment to ensuring that claims of predatory behavior are given a fair and thorough hearing.
A Closer Look: Dissecting the Court's Decisions
The court's rulings in this case reveal a nuanced understanding of the legal and ethical issues at play. The decision to grant the motion for judgment on the pleadings for Count II (rescission), based on the timeliness of the claim, reflects the court's adherence to procedural fairness, while still allowing the core allegations to proceed to trial.
Similarly, the ruling denying sanctions for alleged failure to properly attend mediation highlights the court's focus on substantive justice over technicalities and trivial infighting. This approach is crucial in cases like these, where the intricacies of legal procedures can often overshadow the fundamental issues of right and wrong.
Political Implications: A Broader Perspective
The progression of this case to trial has significant political ramifications. It throws into sharp relief the ongoing debate surrounding the student loan debt crisis in America. The outcome of this case could influence policy-making, potentially leading to stricter regulations and oversight of the student loan industry. This trial could become a catalyst for change, inspiring legislation aimed at protecting borrowers from predatory lending and deceptive practices while holding violators accountable.
Conclusion: A Battle Beyond the Courtroom
As this case moves towards a January 2024 jury trial, it stands as a critical moment in the larger struggle against predatory practices in the student loan debt industry. This litigation is about more than just the parties involved; it represents a fight for justice and integrity in a sector that profoundly impacts the lives of millions of Americans.
The eyes of the legal community and the public are now fixed on this case, anticipating its outcome and the potential precedent it could set. Law360 has been following this case for years now, and hopefully can now focus less on the bickering and gamesmanship of counsel, and more on the actual victims that this case is actually about. It's a reminder of the power of the legal system to effect change and the responsibility of those within it to pursue justice unwaveringly. The implications of this trial will undoubtedly extend far beyond the courtroom, shaping the future of the student loan debt industry and the lives of borrowers across the nation while the litigation plays out like a dramatic John Grisham novel with quite the peculiar cast of characters. | commoncrawl |

Katie Price is in no mood to forgive as she throws shade at Kieran Hayler over son Harvey's birthday cake
Katie Price sets the record straight on the status of her relationship with her husband Kieran Hayler as she throws shade at him.
Katie Price and Kieran Hayler hinted that the couple was trying to work past their differences for the sake of their kids as Kieran was spotted making a birthday cake for son, Harvey. However, the recent Instagram post by Katie has made it clear that she has no plans to let Kieran reenter her life.
For Harvey's 16th birthday, Kieran's mum Wendy Hayler offered to make a cake for her grandson and Katie was more than happy to welcome the help. Kieran even shared the picture of the cake on his Instagram. The cake looked adorable with a tiny frog in the middle. "Happy 16th birthday Harvey!!!!!! Thank you, mum, for the cake again!!!!!" Adding, "You're my star!" he wrote.
Katie took to her Instagram to thank Wendy for the beautiful cake but while doing so, she threw the biggest shade at her husband. Sharing the picture of the same cake, Katie wrote, " Thankyou @wendyhayler04 for Harvey's birthday cake you made it's amazing and thanks Kieran for dropping it off."
Even though Katie has refrained herself from speaking about their relationship following the cheating reports, she did speak volumes just with those six words. Meanwhile, Katie also wished her son in a throwback Instagram post. "Nobody brings me happiness like you do.️ Happy birthday, Harvey," she wrote.
This comes after the former stripper was spotted packing his stuff and leaving Katie's house. Kieran was there to celebrate Harvey's big day despite their impending divorce, while Katie was enjoying a romantic getaway in Brussels with new flame Kris Boyson. The news about their romance came to light after the pair was spotted walking hand in hand. The two even celebrated her 40th birthday together in Belgium. Kris even took to his Instagram to document how the pair spent the day on her birthday.
"Happy birthday to this absolute worldie" he captioned the picture in which the two were seen sipping their drinks. Meanwhile, he shared videos of them enjoying champagne in the hotel room while joking about each other. He also showed Katie walking on the streets while drunk and singing songs about marriage. | commoncrawl |
Geographers and dendrochronologists teamed up in a cross-disciplinary study to look at the correlation between tree rings and volcanic eruptions, reports the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL and the ETH Zurich. Their results gathered from Mount Etna's west flank which erupted in January, 1974, state evidence that tree rings may be able to predict eruptions.
Scientists know that tree rings can provide a lot of of environmental information. For instance, the ring width reflects the tree's growth conditions, which are a combination of the temperature, precipitation and nutrient conditions during a given growing season, explains ScienceDaily. But this new study, published in Scientific Reports, makes it clear that tree rings may provide even more information than previously thought. "The ring width may also be influenced by volcanic activity on Mount Etna and in other volcanic regions," states geographer Ruedi Seiler, a PhD student at WSL.
The significance of this discovery is particularly important because a volcano's history may provide key information in how it will behave in the future - in other words, knowing when and in what conditions a volcano erupted previously may help scientists to understand and predict when it could erupt again, which is obviously critical to putting protective measures in place. "I see great potential in this observation: we may be able to use tree rings to reliably date minor flank eruptions," says Nicolas Houlié, a geophysicist at ETH Zurich.
Although real-time monitoring with GPS, seismometers and gas monitoring devices have provided the scientific community with details for eruptions in the last twenty years, and the dates of volcanic events prior to 2,000 years ago can be determined using the C14 method, information about volcanic eruptions occurring in that gap of time is lacking. Houlié thinks that tree rings may provide a link for those eruptions: "Tree ring data could help to close the information gap for the period stretching from 20 to 2,000 years ago."
Houlié first noticed this trend while looking at a satellite image of a three kilometer green line on the north-east flank of Mount Etna (known as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) which shows that the volcano erupted along that exact line a year later. Although there were no changes to the trees' growth before the 1974 eruption, the researchers highlight that the trees grew less in the two summers following the eruption than in other years, explains ScienceDaily. This could be enough to go back in tree ring histories and note patterns that play out in the volcanoes' eruption events.

Chelsea news: Man City star Ilkay Gundogan sends warning to Premier League champions
MANCHESTER CITY midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has warned champions Chelsea that his side are ready for them this weekend.
Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan confident ahead of Chelsea clash
Manchester City have made a superb start to the season and head to Stamford Bridge on Saturday (3pm) on the back of emphatic wins over Liverpool (5-0), Watford (6-0) and Crystal Palace (5-0).
Those results have taken City to the top of the Premier League - albeit only on goal difference over Manchester United - and confidence is high.
And Gundogan, whose side sit three points ahead of Chelsea, insists City are more than ready to take on the reigning champions.
The 26-year-old said: "It's a huge game and it's away, so it's even more difficult, but we feel ready.
Chelsea and Manchester City go head to head at Stamford Bridge
"If you ask the manager there is always something to improve but we know that we are a great team, we have great players and it's just up to us to prove that every fourth day.
"It's also about character, going to Stamford Bridge against the champions to play our game.
"We're going to prove that we are ready for that and hopefully it will be a great game for us."
As well as their ruthlessness in attack, City's defence has also been strong with five clean sheets in the last six games, all without injured captain Vincent Kompany.
Gundogan added: "At the back too we have conceded few, so our defence has also done a great job in the last weeks.
"It's a combination of both and that's a really good recipe to win games." | commoncrawl |
It depends on what you mean by "Will."
According to the Tennessee Court of Appeals, even if the Deceased does not sign
- following the usual incantation at the end of a Will ("IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I declare this to be my Last Will and Testament ..."); or
- at the bottom of the last numbered page of the Will; or
- above the signatures of the attesting witnesses at the bottom of that page; or
- anywhere else on the document purporting to be the Will,
the Will is still validly executed if the Deceased does sign the accompanying TCA § 32-2-110 witness affidavit. In re Estate of Thomas Grady Chastain, No. E2011-01442-COA-R9, filed December 28, 2011.
As the Opinion by Judge Susano points out, the recitations in the Affidavit executed by the Decedent and the witnesses purported to establish all the statutory formalities imposed by TCA § 32-1-104, reciting that the decedent had signed and declared to the witnesses that the document to which the affidavit was attached was his last will and testament, and that that the witnesses had signed in the presence of the testator and in each other's presence. Thus, the Opinion appears to stand for the proposition that it really doesn't matter where the Will is signed, and also for the proposition that a signature on a separate page, or even a separate document, may be sufficient, if the formalities of TCA § 32-2-110 are otherwise observed.
Apparently, once the Court of Appeals was satisfied that the Decedent had intended to execute the Will, it felt constrained to "protect the right of testamentary disposition of property." Doubtless this was a just decision, given the formalities which were observed, even if those were not precisely the formalities prescribed by statute. After all, while the Court cites the Affidavit as establishing observance of the necessary formalities, that same Affidavit contained a demonstrably false recitation,
that the testator willingly and voluntarily declared, signed and executed the will in the presence of the witnesses...
That is exactly what the testator did not do. Another court might well have reached a different result, on the grounds that the Affidavit was not trustworthy.
The only obvious lesson to be learned is that the formalities prescribed by TCA § 32-2-110 for non-holographic wills should be scrupulously and methodically followed. Lest we forget: The testator and at least two witnesses must sign the will in this fashion: the testator must signify to the witnesses that the instrument is his or her will, and then, in all of the witnesses' presence, either (a) sign the will; (b) acknowledge his or her signature already made on the will; or (c) direct a third person to sign, who must do so in the testator's (and all the witnesses' presence). Then, the attesting witnesses must sign (a) in the presence of the testator and (b) in the presence of each other. An Affidavit pursuant to TCA § 32-2-110, such as the one signed by the Decedent in Chastain, is not even necessary; but it does make it possible to probate the will without the witnesses having to attend the hearing

A common question from a homeowner is why does my gas firepit whistle. The answer is in the gas line. The installer has used common flex pipe to run the line. The problem is when the gas line is buried under poured concrete or a new finished paver patio. Until the line is replaced, the annoying whistle won't go away. Outdoor gas is beautiful and convenient. Gas eliminates smoke, ash and wood storage. Speaking of wood, it is becoming harder and more expensive to source good quality wood to burn. Turn, click and enjoy with gas. A 15' gas line without boring is less than $400 which is equal to three cords of wood. So, gas fits the budget, too! Spiders are a common enemy. Spiders will often build nests inside the pilot. These sticky, white ball nest can block the flow of gas making it difficult to light the pilot. A can a spray air is a great tool to dislodge and remove the nest quick blast of canned air in the pilot hole can dislodge the nest, although it is important to not freeze the pilot. A pipe cleaner can also do the trick. This problem is more common in gas grills. Another common complaint is poor gas pressure. If an installer taps into the grill line to install an outdoor gas fire pit this could create future problems. Gas pressure is measured by water column. If the installer is not trained properly, they may not pressure test a line. In poor pressure situations, the barbecue may go cold when you turn on the fire pit.

Happy Harry's Cafe
Advantages: Cool, rhyming Disadvantages: None
...It's time for soup at Happy Harry's Cafe. Yum, yum, delicious! But what's wrong with Matt the cat? Happy Harry's Cafe is a children's book written by MIchael Rosen and illustrated by Richard Holland. It's quite a fun little book and a bit strange at the same time, strange in a way like The Cat in The Hat is strange. The book focuses around Happy Harry's Cafe as you might have guessed and we are...

...CAFÉ AT 104 My husband and I had walked past Café At 104 and we had parked our car outside it many times but hadn't ventured in. I don't really know why this is except perhaps we had thought of it as a café and we don't very often eat at cafés.

Hey, I'm looking to make a clean install on my iMac as unfortunately OSX is doing some pretty random things (like program features literally falling off the face of the planet!). So yeah, I'm looking to basically do a totally clean install and have a couple of questions. First off, I'm literally looking to start totally afresh, so documents, music etc I will be transferring, but settings I will just make a note of and start from scratch (to make sure any bad whatevers dont get transferred over). So I know how to move the docs and music etc over, but was wondering where three things are kept: 1) Calendars for iCal 2) E-mails (although I use googlemail in Mail so if I'm right it will all be on the server yes?) 3) Contacts Or would it be easier to simply sync back my iPhone after the install? Finally, I will probably be selling my iMac in the next month for a MacBook, so will want to do an "as new" install....does doing a clean install revert back to the screen you get when you first buy a mac? I'm sure thats as clear as mud but any help appreciated! Cheers
Saving iCal and Address Book is easy. Backup iCal For saving Mail, maybe I'm mistaken but I believe the only way to do this is to save the actual Mail folders. I know this works because I've done this myself quite a few times. The folder you want to save, and then replace on your new formated system is: users/your_user_folder/library/mail <-- that entire folder. That folder contains all your mail messages etc. For example on my computer that folder is over 1GB in size. I believe I also save the Mail preference files in the Preferences folder in the user/library folder. Backup Address Book And yes, when you do a clean install the Mac will be like it was when it was new. If you want to be 100% sure that no data can be recovered, you'll want to do boot from your OSX CD, Open Disk Utility, and then Securely Erase your Disk Sorry for all the videos but it's easier than writing it up..probably for the both of us. Hope all this helps. | commoncrawl |

The terrorist specter -- thuggery and treason
There was the Tiller murder; there was the Austin attack, imitating (intentionally?) the method of September 11, though on a smaller scale; now there has been the Pentagon shooting. Much worse, I'm now convinced, is coming.
For starters, check out "Repent Amarillo" (more here), a Christian self-styled "army" infesting that north Texas city, whose agenda can be summed up in a line from my most recent video of the week: "Kick the shit out of people who are not like you". In this case, such people are gays, pagans, abortion-rights supporters, people who have sex outside marriage, those who like "demonic" music, and anyone else whose beliefs, behavior, or tastes do not conform to the barbaric taboos of the Bible.
These thugs are not exactly terrorists, although the harassment they have been inflicting on citizens of Amarillo is shocking. They are more analogous to the Brownshirts or the Saudi religious police. Their mission is to suppress all activity and expression that deviates from a particular ideology; in this case the ideology is Christianity rather than Nazism or Islam, but the principle is the same.
(One wonders why the good people of Amarillo put up with this. What happened to that Texas spirit of armed disdain for bossy busybodies?)
Next, we have the "Oath Keepers" (found via here), a movement dedicated to spreading sedition within the US military, although it's not clear to me how many of its supporters are actually current military personnel. It seems part of the Orwellian character of the far right to declare itself to be the opposite of what it is actually doing; just as whole herds of haters and bigots call themselves "patriots" while displaying that symbol of the vilest treason against the United States, the Confederate flag, so the "Oath Keepers" con-stantly invoke the Constitution while denying the legitimacy of the government duly elected by the American people in accordance with the procedures mandated by that very same Constitution. They wallow in fantasies about martial law and mass arrests and shootings of Americans, in which they would emerge as heroes of resistance -- visions that seem to be more rooted in video-game scenarios than the real world.
To be fair, far-rightists are not the only people who do this. During the Bush administration there were some people on the left who called Bush a "fascist" and imagined that he would contrive some pretext to cancel the 2008 election and continue in power as an open dictator. I recall having several exasperating arguments with such delusionals.
But those people were not stockpiling weapons and wallowing in lurid fantasies of violent "resistance". At worst, a few implausibly threatened to emigrate if Bush were re-elected in 2004.
It's hard to avoid a feeling that, for groups like the re-emerging "militia" far right, the gun fetish and violent fantasies are the main point; the details of the persecution complex, which forms the pretext for these things, are incidental. If bogus "questions" about Obama's birth certificate weren't available, there would be some other pretext for declaring the government to be illegitimate and casting it in the role of the video-game monster against which to deploy all those cool things that go boom.
Of course Obama is not going to declare martial law and put people in camps, but that doesn't mean the seditionists aren't a potential threat. If they look hard enough for a reason to fight, they will find it, whether it's really there or not.
What's really going on here? In my personal opinion, what we're seeing is a growing and violent panic at what are fundamentally cultural changes. Over the last half-century, white supremacy, male dominance, and above all Christianity with its toxic stew of bigotry and taboos, have slowly but steadily been displaced from their former position as defining traits of our society. Blacks, women, and more recently also gays and atheists have demanded to be recognized as equal citizens with equal rights; instead of the married-with-kids model being the only option for everyone, a broad range of lifestyles is increasingly accepted as the norm; the promise of a pluralistic society is being fulfilled. To people who were more comfortable to the old culture built on lies and silence and intimidation, these changes feel profoundly disturbing, even threatening; and the eviction of conservatives from political power in 2008 was the last straw.
Mix those feelings with a gun-fetishizing subculture and a religious ideology which believes it is the only path for everyone and has the right to dictate how everyone should live, and you're going to see an explosion.
We're going to see an explosion.
The bright side is that the width of the gulf, or rather spectrum, separating rational conservatives from the armed crazies and their inciters is now so vast that a total breach seems inevitable. It's true that there are crackpots out there (even a Congressman or two) arguing that the terrorists and crazies have some sort of legitimate point, but I'm seeing more mainstream conservatives aggresively trying to disown them. Our society is healthy enough to beat this infection. But I think there will be more violence -- on the scale of Oklahoma City or worse -- before it finally does. | commoncrawl |
Does Marriage Counseling Work? I have now made it my life's mission to eradicate the necessity for divorce by means of marriage training. Whereas there are lots of causes people resolve to finish their marriage, researchers from Bowling Inexperienced State University (BGSU) identified four major factors for the rising development in gray divorce.
There are a lot of extra monetary points that can affect you during and after your divorce. They should method it with the concept to study themselves and see their marriage as an experience contributing to their progress…We need to be taught to be proud of ourselves (which takes a lifetime) and not expect others to make us glad.
You're feeling such as you're treading water: All relationships experience rough patches each from time to time, and most of those work themselves out as long as you and your spouse are committed to making things work. Couples counseling offers a chance to search out these new possibilities and create hope for renewal in a marriage.
The mediation process involves a impartial third-social gathering mediator (an experienced household legislation legal professional trained in mediation) that meets with the divorcing couple and helps them reach an settlement on the issues in their divorce. Wolfinger thinks that maybe those who get married later in life get so used to single life, they end up making horrible spouses ought to they finally give marriage a shot.
Paul has written two books, produced several video programs, repeatedly speaks on marriage, and continues to guide the expansion of The Marriage Foundation to help enrich the marriages of couples around the world. I'm actually not against deeper talks about issues and history, however the higher strategy for many couples is to concentrate on what you wish to attempt, now, together, to boost and defend your marriage. | commoncrawl |
AN expat pensioner has been forced to fork out for new gates despite having insurance for over 17 years.
Sylvia Rush, based in Alhaurin el Grande, had part of her gates destroyed by the strong winds in March, but Banco Sabadell says the gusts were too slow for her to justify a claim.
The damage occured during Storm Emma, on March 1 and 2, where winds in Malaga province measured up 94 km/hr according to figures obtained by the Olive Press from weather agency AEMET.
But Rush, in her 80s, was told by Spain's fifth largest bank, that no payment would be given as readings from Torremolinos measured wind speeds of 65km/hr, 10 less than the claim cut off of 75 km/hr.
"How can they expect us to accept a reading from so far away? We are much higher than Torremolinos," Rush said.
"The wind was so strong it blew us off our feet when we went out to investigate."
While a closer automatic weather station in Coin exists, the same type as Torremolinos, AEMET could not provide these figures when asked by the Olive Press.
However they did supply the nearest available, Fuengirola, which had a reading of 74 Km/hr and Marbella's Cabopino, which had a whopping reading of 94 km/hr.
In addition Benahavis, Fuente de Piedra and Gaucín all registered over 80km/hr.
Rush said: "We are in our 80s and they are taking advantage of people who have put in a claim for storm damage,
"It's the injustice, when you pay so much money and then find out when you need to be paid out they will find any excuse to avoid paying."
Sabadell failed to comment in time for press.

Art with Heart always creates A Beautiful World, don't you think?
I hope you have taken time to create a project and link it up on the Eileen's Inspiration Blog... HERE for the Art with Heart-Choose Your Own theme….Choose something Old and make it New!!!!
I began my "A Beautiful World" Plaque by first running Graphic 45 Botanicabella pattern paper through my "NEW" Xyron Creative Station!!! (FYI this is a must have in your studio!!! It not only uses 9″ adhesive…..but it also uses 5″adhesive…so easy and quick to use)
Back to my project…once the adhesive is applied to the paper, place on plaque. Using stencil, palette knife and DecoArt Media White Gesso…apply to plaque and a piece of burlap. Allow both pieces to dry completely.
Change to the 5″ Xyron Cartridge by lifting the lever…
Add Xyron Permanent Adhesive to Xyron Creative Station. Run both a piece of Graphic 45 Botanicabella pattern paper and dried burlap piece through the Xyron Creative Station.
Die cut the Sizzix Gardening Tool out of prepared paper and chipboard. Place adhesive pieces on chipboard pieces.
Ink Sizzix Gardening Tools with Walnut Stain and Salty Ocean Distress Ink.
Die cut one piece of Sizzix Watering Can out using chipboard and one piece with
Graphic 45 Botanicabella pattern paper.
Run the pattern pieces through the Xyron Creative Station apply to top of Watering Can. Decorate Watering Can with paper strips and embellishments. Add to front of A Beautiful World Plaque.
Add prepared Sizzix Gardening Tools to the front of plaque.
Die cut several of the Flower Layers with Heart Pedals from pattern paper, roll with stylus on flower mat. Layer together and place on plaque. Add metal gears in the centers.
Fussy cut butterflies, layer together on bottom of plaque. Layer a few together and place around the flowers. Add brown twine bow.
I hope you enjoyed my "A Beautiful World" Plaque and take time to make yourself or some one else something this week. REMEMBER to link you projects up to Art with Heart if you are using any of Eileen's Sizzix Dies.

A Blog With A View
Because nothing says "Tuesday" like a Gandhi quote:
"Seven blunders of the world that lead to violence: wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, commerce without morality, science without humanity, worship without sacrifice, politics without principle."
— Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)
No recipes today, sorry. But here is a good article for you to read:
Rosie O'D on The View, by one Melanie McFarland.
It's a good article. But I'm wondering, why are they (the network execs) not offering us our own TV show? We are coffee-klatching like crazy here. Can you imagine a roundtable with Our Lady of Amalah, Dooce, Zoot, and Rockstar Mommy? Round it out with an international perspective from Planet Nomad and a fiction writer like Leslie Gould (mom of four, military wife, active in community and still finds time to do her art). I could bring everyone coffee; I choke on-camera. Also, I develop nervous tics, or I stare at the red light like Cindy Brady.
Anyway — splendid idea, no? I guess physically getting everyone in the same room would present a little bit of a challenge.

Tinder is great app for hookups mainly due to the sheer number of users that are on it (a respectable 57 million as of 2019). Finding a willing hookup buddy in your area is undoubtedly a numbers game, and while not everyone on this app is on it for a casual fling, the odds are high that you'll be able to connect with users that are looking for something casual tonight. Not to mention, it's beyond easy to use. Create a profile with some photos, choose an age and location range for the person you're looking for, and start swiping (left to reject, right to accept). If you both dig each other, you'll be able to send messages to get things started.
We were named Cupid for a reason: to help lonely people fall in love. Thousands of our users have already found dates in our chat rooms. Making people happy is not just our job, it's a life goal. You can find many free chatting sites, but this one is the easiest to navigate and offers the most exciting way of meeting new charmers. Online chatting offers hundreds of opportunities for those searching for a person to make their heart beat faster. Here you will find plenty of lovely singles for enjoyable chatting.
A niche app with a wide user base (over 13 million and counting), BeNaughty has both a wide audience and the right audience for finding a partner who's down for an easy night of fun. Not to mention, you can maximize your chances of finding a match who's free thanks to the app's mass messaging system, which allows you to send out the same message to multiple members at once every 12 hours. The app functions with the same swipe left/right capabilities as a standard dating app, but also allows users to find potential matches via forums and group chats rather than swiping through matches one by one, further increasing your odds of finding what you're looking for.
OkCupid is another one of the biggest names in the dating biz. After creating a username, you'll start filling out a very long profile, to which you can link to your Instagram account. You can answer questions, giving both your answer and what you'd like your potential match's answer to be — this creates a percentile score for users that reflects compatibility. You can also choose to make your answers public and note how important they are to you.
Like Raya, joining The League can take a bit of effort. You need to set up a profile and allow the app to access your Facebook and LinkedIn accounts. The League uses these networks to verify your information and to make sure colleagues do not see your account. After you complete your application, The League will verify your eligibility, and you will either be accepted on the spot (rare), rejected (common), or waitlisted. If waitlisted, it can take several hours to several months to become a full-fledged member.
I was on Clover for quite some time, but had since forgotten it existed until I started to compile this list. It strikes me as a less-successful hybrid of OkCupid and Tinder with a relatively small user base, even though I live in an urban area with plenty of people who use a wide variety of dating apps. Clover says it has nearly 6 million users, 85 percent of whom are between the ages of 18 and 30.
Don't waste your time with those useless dating sites where you have no chance of finding a mate or at least a real person with a real account and pics. Get started with Flirt.com, a great free dating site, and keep on building productive communication with singles who match you and understand your desires and wishes. Here you'll easily find the widest choice of potential partners to choose from. Flirty chatting, romantic dates, or just friendship with a person you can probably call your 'soulmate'. Get it all here and enjoy the newest way of picking up decent singles without any risks. Join one of the best sites that is able to provide online dating for free and without any extra fees or charges. Simply register and feel all the benefits of being loved truly!
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people find love on Match.com. Match.com pioneered the Internet dating industry, launching in 1995 and today serves millions of singles in 24 countries.

Happn uses the GPS functionality on your phone to track your movements. If you've been within 800 feet of a potential match, then you'll see their profile. For that reason, it works best for city dwellers. People can't contact you unless you tap the Heart on their profile. Happn never displays your position to other users in real time, and you can also block users if you have stalking concerns.

Georgia Patrikios' news feed has been buzzing.
But one of the competition's hottest draft prospects has hit the "unfollow" button in an effort to quell her nerves ahead of Tuesday's AFL Women's draft in Melbourne.
The former Calder Cannon stamped her name at the top of recruiters' lists at this year's Under 18 national championships on the Gold Coast, where she was crowned the competition's best player in an undefeated run for Vic Metro.
The attention stepped up a notch, with the Coburg local expected to be taken in the top three picks on Tuesday.
The Western Bulldogs have the first pick of the bunch and are understood to be weighing up between Gabrielle Newton, Patrikios and Lucy McEvoy.
Patrikios, 18, admitted that in the lead-up to the draft combine earlier this month, she had been forced to turn down the noise on social media as the draft process reaches its climax at 11am.

"It's hard to not read about it — people tell you a lot," she said.
"Sometime I have friends tagging me in stuff (on Facebook and Instagram), but I try not to read it.
"I've had to unfollow those sorts of pages and try to focus on what I'm doing, which is playing footy.
"I haven't been told to switch off social media, it's just based on your own accord. I like to step away from it a bit because life has been a lot about footy, so just trying to get a balance."
The national championships showing set up a whirlwind second half of the year after what Patrikios considered to be a NAB League season below her usual standards.
"I am always wanting the best out of myself and always training and pushing myself to do my best," she said.
"I'd say I'm my biggest and harshest critic.
"I thought I'd go into the championships and enjoy it as much as I could, because it was my last carnival. I just tried to have fun and believe in myself.
"I got a bit of my confidence back going into the champs and I got along really well with the girls — we had a good tight-knit group. It had all the factors … there were good coaches we got along with. It all came together for me."
If Carlton selects Patrikios with the second overall pick, the teenage sensation will be reunited with former teammate and close friend Maddison Prespakis — another Calder product who took AFLW by storm last season to be named the competition's rising star.
"(I grew up as a) big Carlton supporter," Patrikios admitted with a grin.
"Maddy obviously went through the same sort of stuff as me and she just said enjoy it as much as you can and just take it all in — it only happens once so just be in the moment. She said just try your hardest."
Patrikios took up football when her brother Perry — one year her senior — started Auskick, with her older sibling now the honest one when it comes to feedback on her game while mum Debbie — "the taxi driver" for much of her junior career — offers quiet encouragement.
She has spent the recent months honing her sprint technique with the help of ACE Performance in North Melbourne in an effort to further enhance her biggest strength — her burst.
"I don't model my game on anyone in particularly really, I get bits and pieces from all different people, I think … a bit Alicia Eva, a bit Steph Chiocci — quick, skilful," the self-confessed footy fanatic said.
"I feel like I could have a good crack at (AFLW next year) … like I could go in and make a bit of an impact."

Top 3 reasons to be part of RMIT Architecture
- Study in design-focused and practical, hands-on studios that model industry best-practice
- Learn from local and international leading architects in small classes and design studios
- Be immersed in an urban design laboratory in Melbourne, Australia's design capital
It's all centred around learning through design studios
RMIT Architecture's highly celebrated design studios are situated within an urban campus, which means you will be immersed a laboratory of design exploration and at the centre of innovation.
Studios are located across the city campus and within the multi award-winning RMIT Design Hub designed by RMIT architecture alumni Sean Godsell. Design studios are one of the major reasons that makes RMIT Architecture and its graduates so highly regarded by industry.
What is a Design Studio?
Design studios provide a unique way of exploring ideas by challenging future designers. Studios are run by academics and practicing design leaders from local and international architectural and design firms.
The design studio model emulates the best practice of local and global design firms. The studios allow you to explore design, connect with your peers, industry and integrate with other disciplines.
Studios make up the majority of this program and are taught in small groups. You select which design studio you wish to follow from approximately 20 options, completing one per semester during the course of your studies.
Each design studio focuses on a particular theme and project per semester. In your final year you will complete a design thesis project of your choice, which is referred to as your 'major project'. This project will develop on the research outcomes reached at the conclusion of your architecture studies.
You can undertake studios and seminars in other programs such as landscape architecture, interior design and industrial design, as well as in the urban design and digital design research areas. This will foster pathways into our postgraduate Master of Urban Design.

For more information and to learn how to calculate your exact tuition fees see postgraduate study fees.
Payments and refunds
For information on how to pay your fees or how to apply for a refund, please see Paying your fees and applying for refunds.
If you are offered a Commonwealth supported place, your tuition fees are subsidised by the Australian Government.
Your share of the fee (student contribution) is set on an annual basis by the government and is determined by the discipline areas (bands) of your individual enrolled courses, not the overall program.
How much can I expect to pay for my Commonwealth supported place?
The Australian Government has announced amendments to university funding and student contribution fees under its Job-ready Graduates Package.
The fees in the table below apply to students commencing their program in 2021 and are subject to the passage of legislation. Fees for continuing students are available at fees for Commonwealth supported students.
Each course (subject) falls into a band. The band determines the student contribution amount for the course.
Amounts listed in the table below are based on a standard, full-time study load (96 credit points per year) with all courses in the same band. A proportionate fee applies for more or less than the full-time study load or for enrolment in courses (subjects) from a combination of bands.
You can learn how to calculate your exact tuition fees for units from different bands at Fees for Commonwealth supported students.

How does a HELP loan work?
If your FEE-HELP, HECS-HELP and/or SA-HELP loan application is successful, the Australian Government will pay RMIT, on your behalf, up to 100% of your fees. This amount will become part of your accumulated HELP debt.
You only start repaying your accumulated HELP debt to the Australian Government once you earn above the minimum income threshold for repayment, which is set each year by the Australian Government (this also applies if you are still studying).
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) will calculate your compulsory repayment for the year and include this on your income tax notice.
For more information about loan repayment options see Commonwealth assistance (HELP loans) or Study Assist.
This program is approved for income support.
You may be eligible for student income support payments from the Commonwealth Government if you are undertaking a graduate certificate, graduate diploma or an approved professionally oriented masters by coursework program. For more information see Income support for Masters students.
If you are enrolled in an eligible program you will also need to satisfy all other student payment eligibility requirements. You can contact Centrelink or Services Australia for further information about student income support entitlements, your eligibility and how to apply.
In addition to tuition fees, you will be charged an annual student services and amenities fee (SSAF), which is used to maintain and enhance services and amenities that improve your experience as an RMIT student. The SSAF is calculated based on your enrolment load and the maximum fee for 2021 is $313.
You may be eligible to apply to defer payment of the SSAF through the SA-HELP loan scheme. If you use SA-HELP, the amount will be added to your accumulated HELP debt.
For more information about calculating your actual SSAF see Paying SSAF.

Salt to taste
- Make the masala spiced Mamu. To a bowl add Mamu, yogurt, garlic, ginger, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, Kashmiri chili powder, and salt and mix well. With oiled hands, portion mixture into evenly sized 2 oz. (56 gram) sausages and squeeze onto a skewer. Set aside.
- Make the curry. Heat oil in a large pot on medium heat. Add the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and fenugreek seeds and cook until fragrant. Add in onions and cook until soft. Add ginger, garlic, and serrano and cook just until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add garam masala and chili powder and cook for another minute.
- Add in tomatoes both fresh and canned. Simmer sauce, stirring periodically, and reduce until slightly thick, about 15 minutes.
- Add in cashews and cashew milk. Bring back up to simmer and turn off heat. Using a blender or an immersion blender, blend the sauce until pureed. With the blender running, add in vegan butter a tablespoon at a time until creamy and smooth. For the smoothest texture, pass sauce mixture through a strainer. Keep warm.
- Warm a small pan over medium heat and toast the Methi leaves until fragrant. Add them to the curry sauce. Taste curry sauce and adjust seasoning with sugar and salt to taste.
- Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Pan-sear the kebabs on all sides until well-browned and and kebabs have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) using an instant read thermometer. Serve kebabs with curry sauce, basmati rice, cilantro, and a squeeze of lemon. | commoncrawl |
France Football magazine has announced the 30-players shortlist for the 2023 Ballon d'Or. The Premier League has the most players nominated for the prestigious award, and below we look at them all.
1- Erling Haaland
Haaland has been creating headlines since joining Manchester City last summer from Borussia Dortmund. The Norwegian scored 52 goals in 53 club games last term, and he is expected to give Lionel Messi the toughest challenge for the Ballon d'Or.
2- Kevin De Bruyne
No team can get a better midfielder than Kevin De Bruyne, who is enormously talented and versatile, and is highly rated for his wide range of passing, vision and crossing ability.
3- Rodri
Rodri is regarded as one of the best defensive midfielders in the world. He maintained his excellent reputation last season with his amazing displays in Europe and England.
4- Ruben Dias
Another City star who has been nominated for the 2023 Ballon d'Or is Ruben Dias, who also played an instrumental role to win it all for his club.
5- Andre Onana
Andre Onana enjoyed an impressive 2022-23 season at Inter Milan, securing 19 clean sheets in 41 appearances in all competitions. He nearly won the Champions League with Inter, who lost the final to Manchester City. Onana joined Manchester United in the summer window, replacing David de Gea in goal.
6- Josko Gvardiol
Josko Gvardiol was superb at the 2022 World Cup. The 21-year-old started all seven matches in the tournament as Croatia won bronze in Qatar. His superb displays in the prestigious tournament convinced Manchester City to splash £77 million to sign him this summer.
7- Emiliano Martinez
Emiliano Martinez became the national hero for Argentina after he saw his country through two dramatic penalty shootouts on their way to World Cup success. He ended the tournament with the Golden Glove.
8- Mohamed Salah
Liverpool endured an underwhelming campaign but Mohamed Salah continued his brilliance, registering 30 goals in 51 club games.
9- Bukayo Saka
Bukayo Saka was named the PFA Young Player of the Year after his goal scoring exploits helped Arsenal mount a serious Premier League title challenge last season.
10- Julian Alvarez
If the Ballon d'Or winner were solely decided by the number of trophies won by a player, then Julian Alvarez would probably have the strongest claim. The 23-year-old won the World Cup, Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup last season.
11- Martin Odegaard
Arsenal have made the return to Europe's elite competition and they have much to thank Martin Odegaard for their success last season.
12- Bernardo Silva
Bernardo Silva has been a faithful servant of Manchester City since 2017. He was also a key member of their treble winning squad last season. | commoncrawl |
Saudi Arabia could invest in Pakistan's Reko Diq copper mine — a megaproject that faces huge political, geopolitical, and security risks.
South Asia
Now home to over two billion people, the balance of power in South Asia is changing as China makes inroads into India's backyard. But the political order in region states is also transforming, headlined by the rise of Hindu nationalists in New Delhi. Elsewhere, it seems to be more of the same. Bangladesh remains a one-party state. And Pakistan seems trapped in a permanent state of crisis.
Pakistan's rulers are mulling the delay of this fall's general elections to give them more time to neutralize the popular ex-PM Imran Khan.
Once again, Jashodaben Modi — Narendra Modi's abandoned wife — is absent from a White House state dinner held in honor of the Indian leader.
The debate on what a rising India means for the U.S. and the future of the world order has renewed as Modi visits Washington.
Former Prime Minister Imran Khan is released on bail. But Pakistan's political slugfest goes on as the economy unravels.
Political tensions in Pakistan rise as ex-cricketer and former Prime Minister Imran Khan was arrested on Tuesday during a court appearance.
China's foreign minister calls for consensus and stability in Pakistan, reflecting Beijing's concerns over rising political tensions in a key partner.
If proper heat action plans are not developed, excessive heat could cost India 2.8 percent and 8.7 percent of its GDP by 2050 and 2100, respectively.
China won't be building a railway connecting it to Pakistan any time soon. A feasibility study for the project hasn't even been completed.
The latest Discord leaks reveal how India and Pakistan are trying to maneuver amid the Russia-Ukraine war and growing U.S.-China competition. | commoncrawl |

The other day we talked about stopping EU referendum junk mail. If you recall, I mentioned that unaddressed political leaflets are difficult to stop, in particular if they're not distributed by the Royal Mail. Lo and behold, today I got this through the door…
The leaflet is quite funny in that it promises 5 positive reasons to Vote Leave
. You tell me which of the following quotes are positive statements:
- We send over £350 million to the EU every week.
- If we vote to remain, EU laws will overrule UK laws and the European Courts will be in control of our trade, our borders, and big decisions like whether prisoners are allowed to vote.
- If we vote to remain in the EU, we'll be stuck with an out-of-control immigration system which is bad for our security. The European Courts will be in charge of who we let in, and who we can remove. Imagine if Turkey joins this broken system.
- If we vote to remain in the EU, we won't be able to make our own [trade] deals. We'll keep having the same old rows about bailing out the euro.
- If we vote to remain in the EU, we'll be locked in the back of the car going somewhere we don't want to go. We'll keep subsidising other EU countries and losing more control every year.
It's typical political marketing. I'm sure they want to fight a positive campaign based on sound argument but they just can't help themselves. In no time they start slinging mud (i.e. bombarding you with negative conclusions about the other camp without providing any arguments that logically lead to the conclusions).
Anyway, that was just an aside. The reason for this entry is that I did find one interesting page in the leaflet:
That's right, Vote Leave has got a freepost address and they want to hear from you! What's even better, they clearly like unsolicited mail! If you got something to share, please don't hesitate to let them know:

Getting started to get back in shape is not difficult.
You must have some knowledge to make your experience effective and enjoyable.
The human body has the ability to adapt and even thrive when faced with different stresses. Thus, continued exposure to any situation leads to adaptation, such as it happens with exercise and shaping your body.
At a muscular and skeletal level, the same phenomena happens. Muscular stress equals hypertrophy (muscle growth). The same happens with exercise, the more you exercise the more you adapt to it. So, for example, if you started running, on day one you would reach X amount of miles, and you'd be exhausted. A week later goes by, only to find you can run for a longer period and be less exhausted.
So, how to gain muscle, lose fat and get back in shape?
Any sort of physical activity will lead to bettering your physical state.
Especially if you perform resistance training, such as weight lifting, calisthenics or body weight exercises. An increase in muscle size and density can be achieved through these adaptations. With exposure to strength and conditioning, over time, your body will adapt and change.
Once this adaptation period happens, you'll need to change your routine, up your weights, increase your reps or sets, or introduce any sort of novelty to your tanning regime. That is how you keep progressing and avoid a plateau.
However, you must forget that the only way to gain muscle is by going to the gym. Though it is true that weight lifting is specific to gaining muscle relatively faster, you will also have to improve your diet to see better results.
There are plenty of exercises that you can start implementing right away to get back in shape. Today, we are going to be looking a few exercises that can work your whole body and that you should be performing at the gym or at home. These exercises can be performed anywhere as you only need a pair of dumbbells. But before we jump into the exercises…
Warm up
One of the most important parts of training is the warm-up, as it is essential to avoid injuries, and it allows the muscles to develop to their maximum potential. By warming up, we are progressively preparing our body for physical exercise. However, despite its importance, the warm-up is often forgotten in training sessions.
No matter how hurried you are, never skip the warm-up before your workout. Warming up will help you to be better, faster and more efficient, which means that you will achieve better results. Warming up is also important to avoid stiffness and muscle aches.

Here Are 5 Exercises To Help You Get Back In Shape
5. Squats
Squats are a great exercise to work your entire legs, including your quads, your hamstrings, your glutes, your calves, and even your core. This exercise not only improves strength in your lower body, but it also promotes stability and greater mobility.
To perform this exercise simply grab a dumbbell and place it in front of you, right in front of your chest, to add some resistance.
Then with your spine neutral and your legs open slightly wider than shoulders, squat down with your spine neutral on your head neutral too. Stop at the bottom of the movement for a few seconds before coming back up.
4. Deadlifts
The deadlift is one of the main moves that every fitness coach includes in everyone's training routine. It is a must, and it is an incredible exercise that works your entire body.
To perform this exercise, grab a pair of dumbbells (or better, a bar). With your feet shoulder width apart squat down with your spine neutral and the dumbbells or bar in front of you, as if you were lifting them up from the ground. Make sure that when you come to the top of the movement stand with your chest nice and proud whilst you squeeze your glutes.
Before lifting the weight off the ground, make sure to roll your shoulders backwards and keep your chest lifted and your head and spine neutral throughout the whole movement. The movement you need to aim at is a hinge of hips to lift the weight off the ground with the force of your legs and glutes.
3. Tricep Dips
As the name of this exercise implies, this exercise works your triceps. But, it also hits your shoulders and your core, increasing the strength in your arms. And it can be performed anywhere!
Simply grab yourself onto a chair or a bench, making sure you don't fall off. Place your feet on the ground, forming an L with the chair. Then lower yourself down whilst holding onto the chair and working your triceps to lift yourself back up.
2. Planks
A plank is a great exercise to work and strengthen your core, especially the TVA muscle or transverse abdominis, which is not easily worked with other exercises for the abs. The TVA is the muscle that is located right below the six-pack, it acts as a natural corset, keeping our organs in place.
The plank also works your lower back, so if you do it well, it will reduce lower back pain. If you do it wrong, it could be the opposite.
1. Push-ups
This exercise is wonderful for your chest, your core, and your arms. It is a total must in your routine, and even if you can't perform it properly at first, with time and practice you'll be able to perform it perfectly and reap its benefits.
Simply lie down on the floor facing the floor, and put your arms on the side. Use your arms to lift yourself up from the floor making sure that most of the strength comes from your chest. Your elbows are facing upwards, and your palms are at the chest height.
With a neutral spine simply lift yourself up and then lower yourself back down without going all the way down.
Just as the warm-up, never skip stretching.
It won't take you longer than 10 minutes, and it is super important to avoid stiffness and prevent injuries. Stretching allows you to relax the muscles and cool down as you release the tension generated by training.
Final takeaways
There are no miraculous exercises, it all comes down to how often and how hard you train.
You can perform all of these exercises once a week and see almost no results, or go from 3 to 5 times a times and notice great results. Of course, over time, you need to keep adding weight, sets and reps, as well as changing your routine to maximize your results. These are just 5 moves that should always be on your list! | commoncrawl |
House Select Committee on Assassinations Investigation of the Assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. Volume 1, pp. 87-112 Accompanied by Mark Lane, Counsel of Record Mr. PREYER. If so, you will be recognized for 1 hour. Mr. RAY. Subsequent to making the original statement, there has been two, three other things brought to my attention. I don't think it would take any more than 3 or 4 minutes from the hour, if that would be all right. That would be OK with the Chair? Mr. PREYER. Mr. Ray is recognized. Mr. RAY. The first matter is the statement by James E. Ray dated August 16, 1978. I wish to make a very brief opening statement which I will read before getting to the written statement which you have. It deals with the information of the greatest importance, and information which we just received yesterday. My lawyer, Mark Lane, has just examined three FBI documents which provide further evidence of possible FBI and Memphis Police complicity in the conspiracy to murder Dr. King. -88- An FBI document dated April 13, 1968 to J. Edgar Hoover, then the director of the FBI from the Memphis special agent in charge of the FBI numbered 44-38861 and marked urgent, was titled: "Murkin, Civil Rights, 00: Memphis," and began, "The following is a summary of investigation conducted in the Memphis Division, April 12. Instant, Lorraine Motel." Page 4 of the document reads as follows: "Interview of Marrell McCollough, male negro resident -- several words removed -- employed as warehouseman and who had been doing volunteer work with the SCLC and related sanitation strike support groups in Memphis advised and interviewed night of April 11 last that he was standing in parking lot of Lorraine Motel on the evening of April 14 last. He saw Dr. Martin Luther King standing on balcony of the second floor of motel looking in a westerly direction. McCollough heard an explosive sound or gunshot and saw King falling backward. Immediately McCollough looked westward toward the building in the 1400 block West Main. Saw no one with a gun in any of the buildings. Saw no one on the street or ground area near motel with a gun and saw no one running from the area. "McCollough ran up steps to balcony and was first to reach King. King was flat on his back, with head pointed in a southeasterly direction, and feet pointed in a northeasterly direction. He was obviously dead, and feet pointed in a northeasterly direction. He was obviously dead. McCollough applied pressure to the right cheek." Page 5 continues, "bone and neck area of King. He was later relieved in this effort by Rev. Ralph Abernathy. Based on position of body directions of wound, McCollough feels that the shot that hit King had to come from northwesterly elevated direction from vicinity of rear or at near 422 1/2 South Main, and not from the ground floor. McCollough has military police experience, manner and appearance excellent. Credibility as witness should be basically sound as to fixing direction of gun." McCollough insisted that the shot came from the bathroom window of the roominghouse. While your expert witness, Dr. Baden, testified yesterday that all the available evidence could not fix the origin of the shot, the FBI more than 10 years ago established McCollough as an expert who could. According to an FBI document sent to Hoover by SAC in Memphis, 157-8460, 157-1067, P, on August 26, 1969, regarding the Bureau's Airtel of August 20, 1969, page 3, McCollough was an "Invaders Board of Directors member." That memo then states that McCollough "was actually a patrolman with the Memphis Police Department working undercover from February 1968 until March 31, 1969. He is now assigned to the intelligence unit of the Memphis Police Department." Page 3. Therefore, FBI documents prove that the first person to reach Dr. King after he was shot, the person to establish the point of origin of the shot and the most militant of the Invaders was a Memphis undercover police officer. McCollough's picture appeared in newspapers and magazines throughout the world in that famous picture which shows Ambassador Young, Reverend Jackson and others standing on the balcony with McCollough over the fallen body of Dr. King. It is a most symbolic picture. [1] [1] Photograph referred to above may be found in hearing of Nov. 20, 1978. -89- Still another FBI document to Hoover from Memphis SAC number 157-109, P, dated April 10, 1968, states that McCollough, spelled in this document "Merril McCloughan," was in fact a "special agent" of the FBI, and a man who, as a special agent, participated in the March 28, 1968 march led by Dr. King and Reverend Lawson. McCollough was one of the Invaders who, as Reverend Abernathy testified on Monday, turned the nonviolent march into a riot. Dr. Abernathy was correct in stating that they were posing as Invaders, but even he did not know that the most active of the right-wing radical activists, the man who reached Dr. King before he did, was a police spy. [1] On this other matter, there is an article in the Washington Post dated August 10, 1978, saying a certain number -- well, the article quotes a Congressman, Mendel Davis, saying a certain member of the committee is intending to nail me to the cross. What I am concerned about this, in one aspect of it, is I anticipate there will be many FBI informers up here testifying. Most of them are paid informers. And some of them even have, you might say, a license to kill. I am referring to Raymond Curtis and Gary Thomas Rowe. So if it is possible that at some time in the future if there are numerous people who testify against me that are ex-convict informers, or some other type of similar type, I would like to make some type of a sworn affidavit denying the accusations. Mr. PREYER. Mr. Ray, after you make your statement, under the House rules you will be permitted to make a further statement at which time you may bring out any such collateral matters or offer any sworn documents. Mr. RAY. All right, thank you. I believe the committee has a copy of this statement. I have made no changes in the statement, although I did type it fairly fast and it was necessary for me to ad some punctuation marks. And in addition I think there will be two or three instances where I will have to -- it would be necessary for me to digress to explain a point. Mr. PREYER. That will be perfectly acceptable. Mr. RAY. Thank you. The statement I am about to give to this committee is essentially the same testimony I would have given the trial court in Memphis, Tenn. in 1969 if that court would have had the fortitude to have ordered a public trial into the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, rather than making an in-chambers deal with the attorney who was allegedly representing me, Percy Foreman, and capitulating to the wishes of the dominant commercial publishing companies and the companies special relationships with the intelligence communities. In essence, I would have told the trial court and jury that I did not shoot Martin Luther King, Jr., just as I am now telling this committee. And if I would have had a lawyer to represent me I could have offered conclusive proof in support of this denial. I know several large publishing houses working with the FBI have offered up varied motivational allegations which are referred to below in support of the Government case against me. But it was not I who posted Martin Luther King notes suggesting he kill himself. Rather, [1] Mr. Ray is apparently referring to Mr. Merril McCollough, an undercover officer with the Memphis Police Department. Mr. McCollough testified before the committee on Nov. 20, 1978. -90- it was the FBI. Nor was it the witness who celebrated upon hearing of his death. That too was the FBI. And it was also not I who in the 1930's infected Blacks with syphilis germs for experimental purposes, then declined to treat them. That was the actions of a governmental body with the acquiescence of the dominant press. In respect to the guilty plea I made in the King case, it is not a difficult matter for an attorney to maneuver his client into a guilty plea to a criminal indictment, especially when the attorney has the active co-operation of the judge and prosecutor. And I am sure every member of this committee with legal experience knows this. If I could digress just a minute here, Mr. Chairman. For references on this last statement I would suggest "The Crime and Legal Process" by William J. Shamus, copyright 1969 by McGraw Hill, Inc. See part two, section 12, Donald J. Newman, "Pleading Guilty for Consideration in the Study of Bargain-basement Justice." Section 13, Abraham S. Bloomberg, The Practice of Law as a Confidence Game, Organizational Cooperation of the Profession, Section 14, David Sudlow, Normal Crimes, Sociological Features of the Penal Code and the Public Defender's Office. I think this, along with Justice Berger's statement that 30 percent of the attorneys are incompetent might suggest that all guilty pleas are not made in heaven. Continuing with the statement: But the public doesn't. They think of guilty pleas as they used to think of the FBI, that the pleas are made in heaven. Further, every judge who has laid hands on this case knows that the plea was procured by fraud, and therefore know a trial should have been ordered. But the courts have been more influenced by, say, editorials embedded in Time Magazine articles about the case than they have in the law books. But maybe I should be in jail, although not for shooting anyone. Rather, for being foolish enough to return to a legal snake-pit, even if the offer was Fort Knox and Charlies' Angels to spend it on once I had reached Canada in 1967. I believe whatever this committee's ultimate findings are in this matter, it will have performed a valuable service, if unintentionally in unmasking the U.S. judicial system's operations, in league with the dominant publishing companies, and railroading innocent defendants in controversial criminal cases into prison and contributing to the savaging of the defendants through solitary confinement, et cetera, after the defendants are imprisoned. All of this merely because the defendants insisted on the provisions guaranteed to them under the Federal Constitution and lacked the political influence to claim it. That is, for class or other reasons, they were out of favor with the dominant press. In this respect, the syndicated columnist Carl Rowen has written, in effect, that "If any group in the United States does not have influence with the dominant press they can expect to be ground under." Finally, it would appear that the final act performed by the intelligence agencies/publishing empires when a public figure is murdered and the alleged murderer is decided upon, is for the construction of a psychological profile for the edification of the judiciary. In the instant case the psychological profile as promoted by the FBI, Time Magazine, Time's legman, George McMillan, and United Press International, characterizes the witness as thus: One, a narcotic addict, Time Magazine, January 26, 1976 issue. A narcotic peddler, Time Magazine, January 26, 1976 issue. A sex devi- -91- ate, type unexplained, Time Magazine, January 26, 1976 issue. Mainlined drugs, FBI, United Press International Wireservice release, January 25, 1978. Sent obscene letters to post office, 1967-68 period, FBI, United Press International Wireservice release, January 25, 1978. Involved in drug traffic, FBI, United Press International Wireservice release, January 25, 1978. And lastly, cheated fellow prisoners in crooked card games. In regard to the above-mentioned psychological profile I will accept the profile as the type of person who would shoot Martin Luther King, Jr. Further, as I did in a letter to Attorney General Griffin Bell, exhibit B, if any one of the aforementioned accusations can be substantiated by the record, prison records, military records, employment records, or any responsible official conversant with said records, then I will appear before this committee and take full responsibility for the King murder. When I refer to records that does not include FBI-purchased information from their informers. While the Government and Government press was erecting and disseminating the aforementioned psychological profile, the FBI was also harassing various members of my family in order to maneuver them into a position whereby they would have to perjure themselves against me in some manner related to the King case in order to escape imprisonment themselves. For instance, the FBI evidently burglarized my sister Carol Pepper's home in 1968 looking for incriminating evidence. See Jack Anderson column, November 8, 1977. Two. The FBI had my brother, John L. Ray, prosecuted and convicted for aiding and abetting a bank robbery, and the trial judge, now FBI Director, William H. Webster, sentenced him to 18 years, while the actual robber later had his charge transferred to the eastern district of California, where Federal Judge M.D. Crocker sentenced the robber to 18 months. Three. And the wireservices reported on August 8, 1978 that the FBI had paid an informer, Oliver Patterson, to steal letters, wiretap conversations, et cetera, from another brother, Jerry W. Ray. If I can digress just here a second, I think, sir, the FBI -- I believe that was this committee -- yes, continuing the statement-- On April 23, 1967, I escaped from the Missouri State Penitentiary in a bread box in the manner as follows: Several days prior to the escape I fashioned a board approximately 3 by 4 feed, which would fit inside a box used to transport break outside the prison. In addition, I made several holes in the lower sides of the box with a hammer -- airholes. Thereafter, on April 23, 1967, I entered the prison kitchen early -- I worked afternoons -- at approximately 8 a.m. Later I entered the bread box where bread from the bakery is loaded into the box to be trucked to a prison farm. Some time after entering the bread box I got into the bread box and covered myself with a 3- by 4-foot board. Thereafter, a prisoner filled the box with bread, and then transferred the box downstairs by elevator onto a platform used to load trucks transporting items outside the prison compound. -92- Shortly thereafter, the box, with me enclosed, was placed on a waiting truck. The truck then proceeded through a prison security gate, where a guard searched the box by raising the lid and viewing inside. After passing through the prison gate, I got out of the box. After the truck crossed the Missouri River Bridge, nearby the prison farm, it stopped before turning into the road leading to the farm. When the truck stopped, I disembarked. I then crossed the highway, turned right, and followed the dirt road until I came upon several junked automobiles. I stayed in one of the vehicles up until dark, then left the vehicle, crossed under the bridge that I had previously crossed in the bread truck. I then made my way to a nearby railroad track. I had departed the prison with several candy bars, and in addition had taken some bread from the bread truck. I also had taken from the prison, on my person, approximately $250, and a radio, along with a social security card number under the name of John L. Rayns, and two phone numbers. After a period of walking the railroad tracks, I crossed via a switch onto another set of tracks. After walking two or three nights on the tracks, and sleeping days, and having run out of food, I came upon a trailer. Apparently the trailer was intended as a fishing cabin, as I believe it was located near a river. I entered the trailer and found a bottle containing wine, and several items of food. Upon leaving the trailer, I had the wine and food with me. It is my recollection that during this approximate period I again crossed a switch onto another track. However, during all the walking I was moving in the general direction of Kansas City, Mo. On the 4th or 5th day out I was also traveling by day. On one of these days it commenced raining, and I moved underneath a trestle and started a fire. Shortly thereafter a handcar stopped over the trestle. The two operators of the car disembarked and inquired of me about the smoke. I explained that I had been caught in the rain and had started the fire to dry out. They said all right, and left. During this period my shoes had fell off, and consequently I had to make a forcible entry into a store to obtain another pair. On the 6th day I observed a small town. That evening I entered the town, purchased food and drink, and then returned to the railroad tracks. Later that evening I caught a freight train traveling in the directon of St. Louis, Mo. I arrived in St. Louis while it was still dark. After a period of waiting in the railroad yards, and when it commenced to lighten, I made my way to South St. Louis to the residence of an individual who called himself the "Catman." His apparent given name was Jack Gawron. I intended for Mr. Gawron to arrange for my transportation to Edwardsville, Ill., however, Gawron was not home. Therefore, I caught a taxi to East St. Louis. Thereafter, I caught another taxi to Edwardsville, Ill., then to the bus station, wherein I boarded the bus bound for Chicago, Ill. Although I am not certain, I believe I paid the bus driver the fare rather than purchasing the ticket in the station. Upon arriving in Chicago, on April 30, 1967, I made my way to 2731 North Sheffield and rented a room. On May 3, 1967 I applied for a job as a dishwasher at the Indian Trail Restaurant in Winnetka, -93- Ill., a Chicago suburb. I learned of the job from an advertisement in the Chicago Tribune newspaper. I received the job, and shortly thereafter I purchased a 1960 Chrysler for $100. I purchased the Chrysler in order to accumulate identification and commute to and from work. I also took a drivers test and passed. However, although I received a temporary driving permit, I never received the permanent license. I used the name John L. Rayne during this period. While I was employed by the aforementioned restaurant, I wrote the Canadian consul in Chicago inquiring about Canadian immigration procedures. In reply the consul mailed me several brochures. On or about June 27, 1967, I terminated employment at the Indian Trail Restaurant. Thereafter I drove to Quincy, Ill., to wait for the last check to clear from said restaurant employment. It was also my intention to visit while in Quincy an aunt, Mrs. Frank Fuller, and to see one or two acquaintances. I stayed in Quincy approximately 12 days, although I did not see my aunt. During the period in Quincy I stayed alternatively in two hotels, one being located on the corner of Second and Oak Streets, and the other on the corner of Third and Oak Streets. The only individual that I saw and was familiar with in Quincy was Ted Crowley, a proprietor of a local club. I may have told Mr. Crowley something to the effect that I had recently been released on parole from prison. After staying in Quincy, Ill., for the above-mentioned period, I returned to Winnetka, Ill., to pick up the check I had coming from the Indian Trail Restaurant. It is also my recollection that I checked into a hotel located at 1648 West Lunt Street for a couple of days. If I may digress just a minute here, Mr. Chairman, I think I also stayed at this Lunt Street -- in fact, I know I did, while I was working at the restaurant, because it was 4 or 5 miles closer to employment. Continuing with the statement: After picking up the check, I decided to drive to East St. Louis, Ill., and possibly see family members before moving to Canada. On the road to East St. Louis I developed car trouble. I recall sleeping in the Chrysler one night, and a highway patrolman waking me and asking me if I had any problems. In East St. Louis I stayed one night in a rundown hotel near downtown. The next day I sold the Chrysler to a service station operator for approximately $50. I then purchased in East St. Louis on July 15, 1967, a red Plymouth for $200. I had a problem making the purchase, although I don't recall what the problem was. I phoned Jack "The Catman" Gawron during this period, met him in East St. Louis, and had him purchase me a pistol from a fence he knew, and that he cod pay for pension day. I told Gawron to tell my family members that I was leaving the country and would try to contact them later, and for him not to mention to the police that he had seen me, unless he wanted to go to jail. Later that day I drove to Indianapolis, Ind., staying in a hotel that night. The next day I crossed into Canada via the Windsor Tunnel in Detroit, Mich. I slept along the road the night of July 16, 1967, and the next day I entered the environs of Montreal, Canada, staying in a motel part of the day. -94- The next day I entered Montreal proper and one of the first things I did was inquire of a travel agency via telephone, the procedure for a Canadian to acquire a Canadian passport. I was informed that I must have a guarantor who would testify that he/she had known me for 2 years. That evening in Montreal, on St. Catherine Street East, in a nightclub, I was accosted by a prostitute. Subsequently I agreed to go to her place via taxicab. After we got located in her apartment I gave her the requested $25 fee, and she carried the money to an office. When I left I wrote down the address of the building. The next day I rented an apartment in the Har-K Apartments, located at 2589 Notre Dame East. Then later, I parked my automobile close to the building where I had the night before been with the prostitute. That evening I returned to the aforementioned nightclub and, meeting the same girl, again accompanied her via taxi to her apartment. Inside her apartment I gave her another $25, but this time showed her I would go with her to wherever she was taking the money. When she aroused the manager into opening the office I put the pistol on him. We moved back into the office wherein I asked him for the money. Taking out his wallet, he offered me the small amount in it, approximately $5 or $10. When I told him I wanted the rest of the money he spoke about a cabinet nearby, and motioned to a container. Before leaving the office I had the manager lie on a bed and the girl remove her stockings and tie his hands and legs. I then had her get under the bed before departing. Later I found that I had taken approximately $1,700 in mixed currency from the manager's office. During the next few days I purchased clothing and decided that the only way I could come by travel documents in order to travel to -- leave Canada, would be to either persuade someone to act as my guarantor, or perhaps roll a drunken seaman for his seaman's papers. During the next couple of weeks I did spend considerable time near the Montreal dock area frequenting bars. I was never able to come by merchant seaman's papers, although I did contact an individual who introduced himself as Roual [1] I first met him at the Neptune Tavern, 121 West Commissioner Street. He was approximately 35 to 40 years old, 5 feet, 9 inches tall, with dark hair and a red tint in it. He spoke with a slight Spanish accent. I assumed from his demeanor and conversation that our interests could be compatible, and after a couple of meetings it was established that I was interested in some type travel documents, while his interest was in locating someone who would, for a price, help him move some type contraband through U.S. Customs at the Canadian border. During the initial meeting with Roual, perhaps three or four times, nothing was decided definitely mainly because I had decided to make a vacation in a Laurentian Mountain resort and while there enlist the assistance of someone, preferably female, in procuring a Canadian passport, that is, attempting to find someone who would act as my guarantor in making application for a passport. Subsequently I did drive to the Gray Rocks Inn in the Laurentian Mountains and met a woman, and later I saw her again in the Ca- [1] The name "Roual" as spelled by Mr. James Earl Ray, as compared to the generally acceptable way of spelling that the committee uses "Raoul." -95- nadian capital of Ottawa. However, I learned she was employed by the Canadian Government and thus considered it ill-advised to discuss the guarantor question with her. Therefore, in returning to Montreal from the Laurentian Mountains, I decided to accept any reasonable proposition Roual might offer in return for travel documents. After I returned to Montreal I did meet with Roual several more times. His proposals and my acceptance were in essence that I would meet him in Windsor, Canada at approximately 3:30 p.m., August 21, 1967, near the railroad station in my automobile; that he would then provide me certain packages to transport across the border into the United States, be provided with travel documents and an unspecified amount of money. That thereafter I would sell the Plymouth automobile and travel to Birmingham, Ala., wherein I would again meet Roual for some similar type smuggling operations, apparently in Mexico. Roual had initially suggested that I go to Mobile, Ala. I accepted the above-mentioned proposals, although it was my intention that once I laid hands on the travel documents to return to Canada. On August 21, 1967, at approximately 3 p.m., I was parked near the Windsor, Canada railroad station, and after waiting a half-hour or less, Roual came to the Plymouth with an attach� case, entered the automobile, and said, "Let's go." Starting the automobile, he directed me toward a side street wherein he moved into the back seat after stopping and placed three packages under the backrest. Then returning to the front seat, he directed me toward the tunnel that connected Windsor with Detroit, Mich. Before we arrived at the tunnel entrance, he asked me to let him out, saying that he would cross separately, and for me to pick him up on the U.S. side. He said he would cross in a cab and to give him a few minutes before I crossed. I cleared the customs with no difficulty and picked up Roual on the U.S. side of the tunnel. He then directed me to another side street where he removed the packages. I then drove him to the Detroit bus station. Letting him out, he told me to return to Windsor and wait at the same place as before. I then returned to the Windsor railroad station, and after about 10 or 15 minutes Roual appeared again and we repeated the procedure, except that this time we traveled over the bridge connecting the two countries. However, when waiting in line to cross the bridge, I noticed customs officers were searching several of the automobiles ahead of me. Recalling I had a television set in the Plymouth, which I was required to declare at customs, and wishing to avoid a search of the Plymouth, I declared the television set. The customs officer then directed me to a special lane and was in the process of searching the Plymouth when another customs officer appeared and, apparently ordering the first customs officer to other duties, told me to pay the television tax in the customs office and leave. When I later met Roual on the U.S. side of the bridge, he appeared somewhat nervous and I informed him that I had been held up in customs and showed him the television tax receipt provided by customs. Now, if I can digress here 1 minute, please, I was back using at that time the Rayns name again, and the receipt customs gave me was made -96- out to John L. Rayns, and after I got across the bridge I was using the Galt name again. Anyway, to continue with the statement, we then drove to a side street in Detroit, and moving to the back of the Plymouth, he removed the three packages from behind the back seat backrest. Moving into the front seat of the Plymouth, Roual gave me approximately $1,500 in mixed currency; however, offering some excuse, he said he was unable to obtain the travel documents, although he did assure me he would be able to come by the papers at a later date. He also suggested I dispose of the old Plymouth and then we could purchase a later model automobile when we met in Birmingham, Ala. He told me he would write me in care of general delivery, Birmingham, Ala., under the Galt name. Also, he gave me a New Orleans, La., telephone number if I needed to contact him. Thereafter I left him at the bus station and drove to Chicago, Ill., wherein I gave my brother, Jerry W. Ray, the Plymouth and caught a train to Birmingham, Ala. I arrived in Birmingham, August 25, 1967. The next day I rented a room at 2608 Highland Avenue under the name of Eric S. Galt. The following Monday, August 28, 1967, I checked at the general delivery window in the main post office inquiring about mail addressed to Eric Galt. The postal clerk asked me for my middle initial, and when I supplied the letter "S," he gave me a letter from Roual. In the letter, Roual asked me to meet him at the Starlite Cafe located directly across the street from the post office that evening. Later I met him in the Starlite and he asked me try to locate for sale a late model automobile. The next day I found through a newspaper ad a 1966 Mustang. That evening I again met Roual in the Starlite and described the Mustang to him. He said it sounded all right and the next morning he gave me $2,000 with instructions to buy the Mustang. Later in the morning I took a taxi to 701 South 48th Street and purchased the Mustang from its owner, Mr. William D. Paisley. After purchasing the automobile, I drove to the Starlite Cafe, picked up Roual, and from the Starlite on to the residence that I was staying at on Highland Avenue, parking on a mall in front of the residence. Before departing, Roual asked me and I gave him a set of keys to the Mustang. He also wrote down my address and phone number. He then gave me $500 for living expenses and another $500 for a list of camera equipment. Last, he gave me another telephone number in Baton Rouge, La., as a backup number and suggested I lay low for a month or so and he would contact me about the business at hand and the matter of travel documents for me. During my stay in Birmingham, Ala., I rented a bank vault, accumulated identification under the Galt name, and made the camera purchase as Roual requested. I also contracted a lingering virus, apparently in Canada, and was treated for the ailment by a Dr. Schwartz in Birmingham. Subsequently I was contacted by Roual's apparent representative asking me to meet Roual in New Orleans, La., in April 1968. [sic]. If I may digress here, it is possible I contacted him rather than he contacted me, because I was having trouble purchasing the camera equipment. -97- On or about October 6, 1967, I departed Birmingham, Ala. en route to New Orleans, La., intending to meet Roual in New Orleans. The next day or day after, upon arriving in Baton Rouge, La., I phoned the Baton Rouge number Roual had given me. Unable to reach the party, I then phoned the New Orleans number and did not reach this party. I was told to proceed on to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, and was given the name and address of a motel to check into after arriving in Nuevo Laredo. Before leaving Baton Rouge, I mailed back to the Birmingham bank the safety deposit vault key, assuming I would not be returning to Birmingham, Ala. Upon leaving Baton Rouge for Mexico, on or about October 7, 1967 in the evening. Upon inquiry from a policeman or a cab driver, I located the motel I was earlier instructed to check into. After I had signed into the motel and waited a couple of hours, Roual appeared and asked me how I was getting along and if I was ready for business. He asked me if I had a visa and I replied no. He then said he would cross the border into Mexico. Leaving the motel we drove down to a local square where I let him out. He said to give him a few minutes to catch a taxi and then to meet him on the other side of the border. Picking him up on the other side, he directed me north for maybe seven or eight blocks, and then westward a couple of miles, ending on the side street behind another automobile and beside a frame house. He then removed a tire from the other automobile, placed it in the trunk of our Mustang, and directed me back toward Mexico. On the way to the Mexican customs, he told me to apply for a visa, and when customs officials commenced searching the Mustang, give them each a dollar and they would only make a perfunctory search. When we neared the Mexican customshouse, Roual got out of the Mustang saying to pick him up either beside or in front of the customshouse after I had got the visa. I then applied for the visa. The person who issued the visa asked for a voter registration slip for identification but accepted a driver's license and pink slip title in lieu. When the customs officers commenced searching the Mustang and placing a customs mark on the enclosed items, I have them each a dollar and they waved me through. After leaving customs, I picked up Roual beside the building and we returned to the motel by a circuitous route. I pulled into the motel driveway and the tire was removed and placed in the automobile it was originally removed from earlier on. Roual told me he would see me again in the morning, and as I backed out of the driveway I briefly saw the profile of the person driving the other automobile. The next morning Roual showed up and asked me if I were ready, and upon an affirmative reply, I checked out of the motel. Upon leaving, he rode with me for about six blocks and then he got into another automobile after telling me to follow the other car. -98- Once outside the city, we stopped again and the tire was placed in my automobile, with Roual telling me to follow him until we had cleared the interior customs house. About 50 kilometers further on, we entered the customs check. Roual's car was held up. However, after checking my bag tag, I was waved on through by the inspector. Later a couple of kilometers down the road, Roual passed me and stopped in front of me, in front of the Mustang. Roual got into the Mustang and offered some type of apology about still not being able to come by travel documents for me. However, he gave me $2,000. He then asked me if and where he could meet me in the future. I told him I most likely would travel to Los Angeles, Calif. He said then he would contact me there through post by general delivery. He also gave me another New Orleans, La., telephone number and asked if I had the old telephone number. I think I gave him the old telephone number. Traveling through Mexico, I ultimately ended up in Puerto Vallerta. During my stay in Puerto Vallerta, I attempted to trade the Mustang for a piece of real estate and thus stay in Mexico. I also saw an advertisement in the U.S. News & World Report magazine asking for persons interested to make application for immigration to Rhodesia. I wrote to the address listed for information about the matter but never received a reply while in Mexico. I departed Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, on or about November 15, 1967, traveling north toward the United States. On the way I gave a hitchhiker a ride to the border. After arriving near the border separating Mexico from the United States, I stayed overnight in a motel at Tijuana. The next day in preparing to leave the motel for the United States, as was my practice I searched the Mustang. Down between the front seat and the gear box I found a cigarette case with a pack of cigarettes in the case. Inside, between the case and the pack, was a business card. The name and most of the accompanying information had been inked out. What I could see that was still partly visible was the name "New Orleans" and the letters "LEAA." On the back side of the card was the handwritten name of Randolph Erwin Rosen. Retaining the card, I crossed the border into the United States. If I can digress here just a second, in the September 1977 -- I am still on the statement -- in the September 1977 issue of Playboy magazine, Playboy reported that in 1967, LEAA was not in existence. However, upon inquiry by a party representing me, LEAA offices in Washington, D.C., stated that prior to 1968, a forerunner to LEAA, which I believe was OEAA, was in existence and operated in New Orleans. Further, upon request, the late Mr. Clyde Watts, an attorney with offices in Oklahoma City, Okla., investigated in 1964 [sic] and reported thereafter that Randolph Erwin Rosen was in fact Randolph Erwin Rosenson. On November 19, 1967, I arrived in Los Angeles, Calif. and rented an apartment located at 1535 North Serrano Avenue. Then later on January 19, 1968, I moved to 5533 Hollywood Boulevard, residing there until March 17, 1968. During my stay in Los Angeles, Calif., I made the following attempts to find employment. I placed an ad in the "Help Wanted" sec- -99- tion of the Los Angeles Times newspaper, contacted the Big Bear Resort in the interior of California, took a bartending course, applied at two hotels for employment, filled out an application for employment with the Internal Revenue Service. I made the following inquiries and acts in an attempt to leave the United States. After reading in the local newspaper that U.S. citizens could travel to Colombia, South America, without a passport, I checked into this matter. I contacted several organizations about information pertaining to Rhodesian immigration. I phoned the U.S. Coast Guard several times about the procedures to follow in order to gain merchant seaman's papers. In this respect, I had minor plastic surgery on my nose in March 1968 by Dr. Russell Hadley in order that I might change my appearance enough to avoid identification if I needed a picture for the merchant seaman's papers. In early December 1967, I checked at the general delivery section, main post office, to see if Roual had posted any messages. Finding that he had not sent a communication, I phoned New Orleans under the number he had given me in Mexico. The person that answered inquired if I could travel to New Orleans in late December. I replied in the positive and thereafter made arrangements with a Charley Stein, whom I had met in a local bar, to help with the driving to New Orleans. When Mr. Stein, who was habitually short of money, and I were ready to leave for New Orleans, about December 5, 1967 [sic], he asked to use my telephone in order to notify his family in New Orleans of his pending visit. During the trip I phoned my brother Jerry Ray one time. Other than Mr. Stein's busying himself looking for flying saucers, nothing else of interest had transpired on the trip until we reached New Orleans. Upon reaching the city I dialed the phone number Roual had provided me with in Mexico. I arranged a meeting with him in the Le Bunny Lounge on Canal Street, and during the subsequent meeting in the lounge, Roual told me that in early May he wanted to transport some rifles into Mexico and for me to help him. He said that there would be about $12,000 in it for me in addition to the usual promise of travel documents. I agreed to his proposition but told him I was low on funds. Subsequently he gave me $500 in $20 notes. Returning to New Orleans, I moved to the aforementioned Hollywood Boulevard address, residing there when in February 1967 (sic) I received a written communication from Roual asking me to meet him in New Orleans, La., on a certain day in March for a trip to Atlanta, Ga., and to acknowledge the communication. I acknowledged by the telephone that I would be in New Orleans on that date. If I may digress just here, Mr. Chairman, I am not certain this Georgia address is mentioned in this letter. I was taking a locksmith course at this time by correspondence course and I was interested in completing the course. I didn't make out any change of address cards so I am not really positive about this, but I am inclined to think that I probably mentioned this on the telephone and they might have told me we would be briefly in Georgia, or not briefly, but just in Georgia. Returning to the statement. Of other possible interest to the committee, during my stay in the Los Angeles area I was robbed of a watch -100- and the keys to the Mustang outside of a bar on Hollywood Boulevard. Consequently, I had to hire a locksmith to make me another set of keys. I did come by some addresses, although through underground publications advertising unattached females. Later I did use, one of these addresses. See below. I never attempted to contact any of the persons listed under the advertisements, except one who listed herself as a nympho-something. Of course, I had been in jail for about 6 years. On or about March 17, 19681 1 departed Los Angeles for New Orleans, La. Apparently I was late in arriving in New Orleans. In calling the party under the aforementioned number, I was told to drive to Birmingham, Ala., and meet Roual in the Starlite Cafe. Arriving in Birmingham and entering the Starlite, again somewhat late, I met Roual and we proceeded to Atlanta, Ga. Arriving in Atlanta, we commenced searching for an apartment, finally locating a room for rent at 113- 14th Street Northeast. However, because of the intoxicated condition of the proprietor, I had a problem renting a room. Because of the delay, Roual briefly entered the office. After the rental, we went to a restaurant on Peachtree Street for a meal, and while in the restaurant made several arrangements for Roual to meet me at the recently rented room the next day. The, next day, Roual came to the room I had rented next door to the proprietor's office, and the conversation was a rerun of the previous evening's conversation in the Peachtree Street restaurant. In essence, I was to purchase rifles in Atlanta to be later shown to prospective buyers, but because of an identification problem, all of my identification was listed under the State of Alabama, I suggested we purchase rifles in Alabama, which Roual agreed to do. Upon leaving, Roual suggested I stay close to the room since he would return in a couple days, and then wanted me to drive him to Miami, Fla. However, he never did appear for the Miami trip. If I may digress here for just a second, Mr. Chairman, in respect to Miami, Fla., I discussed this matter with Arthur Hanes, the first attorney who represented me in Memphis, but I don't know just how much I talked to him about it. I was giving information to my attorney at that time, Mr. Hanes, and he was giving it to William Bradford Huie, the Alabama novelist, and Mr. Huie was giving it to the FBI, so I was kind of hesitant on giving certain information to the attorney. However, I did write, to Mr. Hanes one time, if my recollection is correct, and told him not to discuss this Miami business with Mr. Huie. I assume Mr. Hanes still has the letters on this and I believe I have given this committee a waiver on Mr. Hanes. Returning to the statement. After about a week, Roual did appear and we drove to Birmingham, Ala., to implement what we had previously agreed to do. I checked into the Travellodge in Birmingham. We then checked through the yellow pages of the phone book, and perhaps newspapers, for an establishment that sold rifles, deciding on the Aeromarine Supply Co. Subsequently, I did purchase a rifle with military specifications at Aeromarine. After the purchase Roual gave me the name of a motel, New Rebel, in Memphis, Tenn., telling me to transport the rifle to the motel and meet him there at a certain date, April 3, 1968, and time, -101- saying he in the interval had to make a business trip to New Orleans, La. Thereafter, commencing on March 29, 1968, the day I picked up the rifle, I traveled in the direction of Memphis, Tenn. Subsequently, I rented a room in Florence, Ala.; Corinth, Miss.: De Soto, Miss., and other motel addresses that I cannot recall, although I assume the F.B.I. has the addresses. I did not at any time deviate from the aforementioned route, and specifically I did not return to Atlanta, Ga., after departing Birmingham, Ala., on March 29, 1968, until April 5, 1968. I arrived in the suburbs of Memphis, Tenn. on April 2, 1968, and checked into the New Rebel Motel in Memphis proper on April 3, 1968. It commenced raining that evening, and at approximately 9 p.m. Roual appeared at the room I was occupying. Roual told me that it would be necessary to take a room for a few days in Memphis. He also informed me he had a place located near the waterfront and that he or I or both would rent a room at the location in my name. I told Roual that I did not care to have my name used if there were going to be any guns in the place or if we were involved in something we could possibly get arrested for. I then suggested the name John Willard, that I had used indirectly once before, thus a name I could easily remember that we could use to let a room under. Roual agreed to use the Willard name. He then commented that if everything progressed all right, that he and I would return to Birmingham, Ala., and purchase 10 or more of the scope rifles in addition to a large supply of the foreign brand rifles that I had looked over in the gun store in Birmingham. He implied that after we had purchased the firearms they would be shipped to New Orleans, La., by boat. Before departing, Roual told me to meet him at the 422 1/2 South Main Street address at 3 or 4 p.m. the next day. He, then wrote down the address on a slip of paper and I wrote down for him the Willard name to use if he should rent a room for me or himself. He mentioned that if he were not in a room at the South Main Street address when I arrived, he would be in a bar and grill located on the ground floor of the building. He then took the rifle and departed, and that was the last I saw of the weapon. The. next day I did not check out of the motel until late morning. After having breakfast at a nearby restaurant, I drove to the south part of Mississippi or the south part of Tennessee -- I may have been in Mississippi -- and waited a period of time in the beer house and generally stalled around for the rendezvous with Roual at 422 South Main Street. Now if I may digress here, while I was traveling around during this period, I had a flat tire. It wasn't completely flat, but a slow leak. I did change tires. Finally I drove to a commercial parking lot. After checking the Mustang into the lot and receiving directions from the parking lot attendant to the location of Main Street, I commenced walking in a general direction toward what appeared to be the main section of Memphis. Further on with the assistance of a policeman, I located Main Street, and traveling south on Main I made at least one inquiry in bars concerning the 422 1/2 South Main Street address. -102- One of the places of inquiry may have been a Jim's bar. After I had located that apparent address of the South Main Street building I had been. searching for, and which had a Jim's grill on the ground floor I entered the bar and grill looking for Roual. He was not in the, establishment. However, I did notice two white males that I had previously seen in one of the bars I had just recently been in making inquiries concerning the address I was searching for. One of the two individuals appeared to be noticing me more than was necessary. I am certain that I did not meet Roual in Jim's grill the first time I entered the establishment because of the crowded conditions, unlike the second, and the two individuals in the bar who were not present when I did meet Roual. I ordered a beer and shortly thereafter departed the tavern, going upstairs to inquire about renting a room. Upon inquiry, the proprietress, informed me she had two rooms to let and showed me both of them. Since the second was only a sleeping room, I rented it, paying with a $20 bill. After signing the registry under the name of John Willard, the only other person I saw or ever saw except Roual in the establishment was an elderly white male who was in the proprietress' office when I first inquired about the room. Immediately upon retaining a room, I left the building to return to the parking lot to pick up the Mustang. It was now approximately 4 p.m. because of my delay in locating the South Main Street address. Returning to the parking lot, which I estimate was 1 mile from the 422 1/2 South Main Street address, I picked up the Mustang and subsequently parked the automobile almost directly in line with the front of Jim's grill and immediately behind another automobile. Now, if I may digress here just a second, Mr. Chairman, since I made this statement I found an FBI document, and this might clear up where I was parked -- at or where I wasn't. This document is from the Federal Bureau of Investigation Offices, dated April 7, 1968, and I will read it. "Lloyd Jowers, owner of Jim's Grill" -- this is where I was parked at -- "418 South Main Street, advised that at approximately 3:55 p.m. on April 4, 1968, he arrived at the grill and parked directly in back of a white Mustang that was parked in the street directly in front of his grill. He stated that he believed that the car had Mississippi license plates on it because they were an orangish-yellow color. He stated that upon parking the car, he went into the grill, where he saw a stranger sitting at the bar having a meal. He stated that it was unusual to get any strange customers in the grill since most of the customers were local people of a steady nature. "Mr. Jowers described the stranger as follows: Race, white; sex, male; height, 5 feet 8 to 5 feet 9; weight, 160 pounds; build, heavy; age, 27 to 30; hair, sandy; complexion, ruddy; dress, wearing a dark suit. He stated the man finished his meal and left the grill, not noticing in which direction he walked, but he did not get into the white Mustang which was parked in front of the grill. "Mr. Jowers stated that this same individual returned to the grill at approximately 8 p.m. on April 5, 1968, and ordered breakfast. Mr. Jowers stated in his estimation this individual acted strangely because he seemed very calm when everyone else in the grill in the area was excited over the shooting. -103- "In view of the fact that he felt the individual was acting strange and also because he was a stranger in the area, Mr. Jowers called the police and was told that he had a man of suspicious nature in the grill. He said that when the stranger finished his breakfast he left the grill and was arrested on the sidewalk in front of the grill by the Memphis Police Department." Then there are several words blanked out. "The Homicide Bureau of the Memphis Police Department later identified this arrested individual as Gene Pearson Crawford," and there are several more words blocked out, "Jackson, Tennessee, who was determined to have no part in the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King." The only reason I mentioned this document was that I am certain that I parked in this area where this car was, and if it could be established when the car was moved, it may be established where I was parked. . Mr. PREYER. Mr. Ray, if you wish to make that document a part of the record at this point, if there is no objection the Chair will make it a part of the record. Mr. RAY. I have several other documents that I will get -- Mr. PREYER. We will also arrange to get one without the deletions. Mr. RAY. Well, I just got this, and I didn't have time to Xerox it, but I will give the committee a copy of everything I have. Mr. PREYER. Without objection, it will be admitted into the record at this point. [The FBI document dated April 7, 1968, was admitted into the record and is also part of MLK exhibit No. F-14.] MLK EXHIBIT F-14 (ATTACHMENT) -104- -105- Mr. LANE. Is there an exhibit number for this document Mr. Chairman? Mr. PREYER. I think if you want to put your own -- do you have an exhibit number at this stage? The exhibit number would be MLK F-14. Mr. RAY. I believe I left off at the bottom of page 23, second line. I did not move the Mustang again until approximately 5:40 p.m. the same day. I later noticed upon leaving the roominghouse on one of several occasions that there were several other automobiles parked nearby the same color as the Mustang; a whitish color. Upon entering Jim's Grill for the second time, I found the individual calling himself Roual was present. This time the bar was not so crowded and Roual was sitting in the lunch-counter section drinking coffee. After the amenities I told him I had some difficulty locating the roominghouse upstairs. We departed almost immediately when he suggested we go upstairs to the room I had rented. On the way out of the grill, he asked me if I had the Mustang with me. I pointed to it, saying, "There it is." Once upstairs in the room I had rented, Roual suggested I put whatever items I have in the Mustang up to the room saying we may have to stay here, 3 or 4 days. He also asked me to purchase a pair of binoculars with infrared attachments saying the "people" also wanted to examine some glasses. Roual gave me directions to a nearby sporting goods store wherein I could purchase the glasses. Leaving the roominghouse, I was unable to locate the sporting goods store the first trip. Returning to Roual again, he explained to me the location of the sporting goods store. Upon returning to the room after the first trip looking for the sporting goods store, I removed a small traveling case from the Mustang containing personal items and deposited the case in the room. However, because I was somewhat conversant with the type of establishment I was in, what with no locks on the doors or even door knobs, just a strap to pull the door to, and the place an apparent habitat for winos where anyone could enter anyone else's rental at will, I did not carry any of the personal items into the room other than the aforementioned case and its contents except a cover which I used to cover the covering already on the bed. I placed the case under the bed. On the second trip, seeking the sporting goods store, I located it. Upon inquiring, the salesman informed me the store did not carry infrared attachments for binoculars. I would have to purchase them in an army surplus store. However, the salesman did sell me the binoculars. On the way back to the roominghouse, I stopped at a drug store on the ground floor of the Chisca Hotel and ordered ice cream. While waiting on the order I sat, as customary, directly across from the cash register and distinctly recall the apparent manager, who was a white male, instructing a young black woman on the intricacies of using a cash register; thus, I assumed she had just started working in the store that day. The attorneys representing me in the King case in 1968-69 were unable to locate the drug store in question. However. in February 1969, I described to a policeman who was guarding me in the Memphis jail the approximate location of the store and he informed me the name of the store. -106- Mr. PREYER. Mr. Ray, excuse me. Your hour is up, but without objection, you will be permitted to finish your statement. Mr. RAY. All right, sir. Mr. PREYER. You may proceed. Mr. RAY. Thank you. After returning to the Main Street roominghouse, I told Roual we would have to purchase the infrared attachments at an army surplus store. I also informed him I had not eaten since breakfast. He said to go out and have a meal and take in a movie since he wanted to see some people in private that evening, but to leave the Mustang out in the front, as he would most likely need that that evening or night. I then went downstairs into Jim's Grill and ordered a beer, although I did not drink it. I say this: because I recall seeing a white waitress on one occasion while I was in the establishment and on a next occasion there was a black waitress on duty. If I can digress here. The point I am try to make here, I was in the grill on two different occasions at least. On leaving the grill, I sat in the Mustang 10 or 15 minutes before traveling north on Main Street and entering a bar and restaurant located on the left-hand side of the street and fairly near a movie house across the street. I ordered a sandwich and while sitting there, I recalled I had changed the back rear tire on the right side, one facing, the front of the Mustang, the day before after the tire developed a slow leak. Thinking the damaged tire could be fixed, if the Mustang should be used at night, I returned to the Mustang and drove it north on Main Street for maybe three or four blocks before turning right and traveling four or five more blocks to a service station. There were two or three service stations at the intersection. I inquired of one if they could fix the spare tire while I waited, and I was informed I would have to wait awhile because of the business volume. Moving to the other station, I do not recall asking for the tire to be repaired, although I did have the Mustang serviced. Upon leaving the station I circled around in a manner that would return me to the original parking space in front of Jim's Grill. However, when driving on through Main Street, I saw a police car parked blocking off the street that I would have had to drive through in order to. return to my original parking space. In addition, I saw what appeared to be two or three people walking rather fast opposite the police car. I then veered off to the left toward South Memphis, traveling through what appeared to be a predominantly black community. I eventually ended up in Mississippi, traveling toward New Orleans, La. It was my intention to phone a New Orleans where -- it was my intention to phone a New Orleans number in my possession and have the party on the other end attempt to find out what, if anything, had happened in the area of the aforementioned South Main Street roominghouse; however, shortly after entering the State of Mississippi, I heard over the car radio that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., had been shot in Memphis. A short while later, approximately 15 minutes, another news bulletin on the radio stated police authorities were looking for a white Mustang and a white male subject as suspect in the shooting of Dr. King. Consequently, the first intersection I came to, I turned east, traveling toward Atlanta, Ga. -107- If I may digress for just a second. With respect to this tire I mentioned, 3 or 4 years ago, my brother was talking about my private property in Memphis and he said, as soon as I pled guilty, the attorney general's office called him to the office, and gave him this tire plus the floor boards out of the Mustang -- floor mats out of the Mustang. But I imagine the Memphis prosecutor's office will substantiate that or disprove it. Continuing with the statement, by way of Birmingham, Ala., shortly after turning east, I stopped the Mustang and threw various items out of the trunk, including all the camera equipment that Roual had me purchase for him. The equipment was still in the original wrapping cases when I discarded it. It was raining slightly at the time and I took a cloth and attempted to wipe off any fingerprints I may have left on the outside of the Mustang. Several years later, my brother, Jerry W. Ray told me -- I went through this. I will read it again, anyway. Several years later, my brother, Jerry Ray, told me immediately after the guilty plea, the Memphis attorney general's office give him the damaged tire and the floor mats from the Mustang. Thereafter, I drove through Birmingham, Ala., and later into the State of Georgia. Approximately 30 miles from Atlanta, Ga., I ran a little low on fuel and stopped at a service station for gasoline. I arrived in Atlanta approximately 7:30 a.m. I abandoned the Mustang in a private parking lot near Capitol Homes. I then returned to the room I previously rented, located at 113 14th Street, Northeast. I placed everything in a case that it would hold and discarded the remaining items left in the room. I then walked to the Piedmont Laundry, wherein I had left several items of clothing to be cleaned in late March of 1968. I then phoned a bus station for a reservation to Detroit, Mich. Being informed that a bus was leaving Atlanta for Detroit, Mich., that afternoon, I returned to the roominghouse for the case. I then departed the building and called a taxi cab to the bus station wherein I purchased a ticket to Detroit, Mich. The bus was not due to leave Atlanta for several hours, so I checked in the case and traveled several blocks from the bus station and waited in a bar until departure time for the bus. However, upon returning to the bus station, I learned that the bus would be late in its departure schedule. After the bus did depart for Atlanta, it proceeded on to Cincinnati, Ohio, with a layover in that city of approximately 2 hours. During the layover, I waited in a nearby bar until it closed at 2:30 a.m. Then I waited in the bus terminal another 20 or 30 minutes before the bus departed for Detroit, Mich. Arriving in Detroit at approximately 7:30 a.m., I then made reservations for a train bound for Toronto, Canada. Before leaving the Canadian side of the border, I took a taxicab to a train station approximately 2 miles from downtown Detroit. Adjacent to the train station was an open square block, park, directly across diagonally from the train station, and across the open lot was a barbershop wherein I had a shave and haircut. I arrived in Toronto, Canada, at approximately 6:30 p.m., April 6, 1968. After checking my case into a luggage, department, I made MY way west on foot. After walking approximately 2 miles and making inquiries along the way for rental quarters, I eventually found a room for rent at 102 Ossington Avenue. The proprietress' name was Mrs. Adam Szpakowski. I paid Mrs. Szpakowski $10 for 1 week's rent. Mrs. -108- Szpakowski, who spoke with a heavy accent, did not ask my name, nor did I volunteer the information. Thereafter, on the following Monday, April 8,1968, I made my way to the offices of the Toronto Evening Telegram and ask to see back issues of the paper for the year 1932. A librarian gave me the requested issues of microfilm and assisted me with the projector. After a time, I choosed several names from the films. Two of the names were Ramon George Sneyd and Paul E. Bridgman. My purpose in obtaining these names was to apply for a passport under one of the names if conditions were favorable. I. Leaving the newspaper's offices, I made my way back to the room on Ossington Avenue. However, before I got to Ossington, I was stopped and ticketed by a policeman for jaywalking. I had remembered a women's address in Toronto, Canada, 6 Condor Street, from some addresses I had gotten out of an underground publication apparently specializing in "bringing people together." I gave the policeman the Condor Street address as my own. I am fairly certain I also gave my name as Eric Galt to the policeman. The next day I phoned the local police station inquiring about the ticket. However, the station did not have the ticket on file. After I arrived back to the Ossington Avenue address, I wrote the name Paul Bridgman on a slip of paper and gave it to Mrs. Szpakowski informing her this was my name. The next day I proceeded to contact by telephone several of the names I had gotten from the Toronto Evening Star, telling them I was their registrar general's office investigating a passport matter, inquiring of them if they had ever been issued a Canadian passport. Eventually I contacted Mr. Ramon George Sneyd, a Toronto policeman, and upon inquiry, Mr. Sneyd informed me that he had never applied for a Canadian passport. Therefore, shortly thereafter, I made my way to the Arcade Photo Studios and had several passport photos taken. I used the Paul Bridgman name in applying for the passport photos. During this period I had rented another room located at 962 Dundas Street West from a Mrs. Sun Loo. I registered under the name of Ramon George Sneyd and told Mrs. Loo I worked nights, thus, I would be in days -- I spent the nights at the Ossington Avenue address. Then I visited the Kennedy Travel Agency in Toronto, inquiring about the procedure for obtaining a Canadian passport. If I may digress here just 1 minute. I think, I am almost positive, I visited either this agency or another agency and found out I wouldn't need a guarantor; that I could make some type of sworn affidavit and bypass the guarantor. Continuing with the statement, I told the office manager, Mrs. Lillian Spencer, that I did not have a guarantor passport, having just returned to Toronto. Mrs. Spencer informed me that it was not necessary to have a guarantor; rather, I could make a sworn statement that I was a citizen of Canada, have the statement notarized; then her office would apply for the passport. I did apply for a passport through Mrs. Spencer's office under the name of Ramon George Sneyd and, using the Dundas Street West address. If I had been thorough enough to gain the information during my first trip to Canada in 1969, I am sure I would not be testifying before this committee today. -109- During this period I also made a brief trip to Montreal, Canada, to inquire about reservations to Europe; ship reservations. In early May of 1968, my passport in the name of Ramon George Sneyd was presented to me by the Kennedy Travel Agency on March 6. 1968 [sic]. I departed Canada bound for London, England, and arrived in London on March 7,1968 [sic]. Immediately thereafter, I boarded a plane for Lisbon, Portugal. While in Lisbon, and because my finances were such that I could not afford fare to a more distant country, say Australia, I made several efforts to gain transportation to Africa. During one period, in a meeting with a Black and a white male, I attempted to join a military unit in Biafra, but was unsuccessful. Finally I did find a ship with available berth bound for Angola. However, a visa was required to enter Angola and since the ship was leaving for Angola in 3 days and it required 7 days for a visa to be processed, I missed the opportunity. Returning to London, England, after approximately 10 days in Portugal, I attempted on June 8, 1968, to leave London by airplane destined for Brussels, Belgium. However, I was detained at London's Heathrow Airport by the police and subsequently arrested by English authorities and held for extradition to the United States. Thereafter, I wrote Messrs F. Lee Bailey and Arthur J. Hanes, Sr., of the Massachusetts and Alabama Bar, respectively, about representation in the matter I was being detained under; namely, the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., homicide. Mr. Bailey informed me indirectly there would be a conflict of interest involved if he should take the case, thus declining. Mr. Hanes accepted the case, apparently after contacting the Alabama novelist, William Bradford Huie and presenting me with a literary contract to sign. Thereafter, I was subsequently ordered by an English court to be extradited to the United States and, in fact, was extradited and lodged in the Memphis, Tenn., jail on July 19, 1968. After I was lodged in the Memphis jail, the aforementioned attorney, Mr. Arthur J. Hanes, Sr., had me enter into a series of literary contracts with him and Mr. William Bradford Huie, the Alabama novelist, in order, Mr. Hanes said, to finance a jury trial in the King case. Subsequently, in November 1968, my brother, Jerry W. Ray, visited me in said jail and said he had recently visited William Bradford Huie and Huie had offered me indirectly through Jerry $12,000 if I would not take the witness stand in the King case saying: "My testimony from the witness stand would destroy the literary value of the book he (Huie) was writing about the case." Consequently, when Percy Foreman, a member of the Texas bar, appeared, unsolicited, at the Memphis jail a few days later and visited me I agreed with Mr. Foreman's suggestion that I fire Mr. Hanes and hire Foreman. Percy Foreman had the above-mentioned contracts in hand and said the only thing he was interested in was the money being provided him by Bradford Huie and then promised me, and later the trial judge, that if I retained him in the case he would not become involved with William Bradford Huie in commercial publishing ventures. Thereafter, this "promise" of Percy Foreman's was of a short duration in that within a few days of becoming counsel of record in the case he made arrangements with William Bradford Huie to have -110- Arthur J. Hanes' interest in said contracts transferred to himself. Then later in January 1969, Mr. Foreman presented me with a check from Mr. Huie for $5,000 for my endorsement, saying he "needed the $5,000 to retain co-counsel." However, in December 1968, Attorney Foreman had persuaded the trial judge, W. Preston Battle, that no funds were forthcoming from Bradford Huie or elsewhere and thus had the judge appoint the public defender, Hugh Stanton, Sr., as cocounsel. Mr. Stanton had previously represented the state's chief witness, Charley Stephens, in the case; the same Charley Stephens who, for a promise of $10,000 from the U.S. Government, had committed perjury through a sworn affidavit by falsely identifying me through a picture in order for the Government to have me extradited from London, England. Then in February 1969, Percy Foreman received another $5,000 check from William Bradford Huie. This time he did not bother to have me endorse it. Rather, he just forged my name to it and cashed it in complicity with Planters Bank of Memphis. After collecting all the money that was available from William Bradford Huie, Attorney Foreman then commenced, on February 13, 1969, maneuvering. me into a guilty plea. Foreman's arguments for the plea were, in essence: 1. That the press had already convicted me by inflaming the minds of potential jurors. 2. That the Government had bribed an alleged witness, Charles Stephens into perjuring himself against me by offering Stephens a $100,000 reward to say he had seen someone favoring me leaving the roominghouse where Dr. King was allegedly shot from immediately after the shot was fired. 3. That it would, in some manner, be in my financial interest to plead guilty as charged. 4. That the trial judge wanted a guilty plea because he was concerned the blacks might burn down the town in respect to Percy Foreman's and the judge's ex parte meetings arranging the plea. Apparently the two had eight meetings. Then later in March of 1969, Foreman said that if the case was not settled through a guilty plea, the Government would most likely arrest my brother, Jerry W. Ray, under some type of conspiracy charge in the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., homicide. He also said the FBI would most likely arrest my father, George Ray, who was then near 70 years old, and have him returned to the Iowa State Prison, wherein he had escaped in the 1930's. If I may digress here just a second, Mr. Chairman. My brother, John Ray, also mentioned this fact to me around March 7 or 8 of 1969. I think Mr. Foreman, he made oblique reference to this thing; he didn't come out and say it directly, but he made kind of a slanting reference to it. Returning to the statement. In conjunction with the aforementioned threats and promises, Percy Foreman convinced me he would "throw" the case if I managed to force, him to trial. In fact, in an article published in Look magazine in May of 1961, [sic] sold to the publication by Percy Foreman for $1,000, he, in effect, admitted he would have "thrown" the case if I would have forced him to trial. Consequently, through written contracts, I agreed on March 9, 1969, to enter the guilty plea. My contractual agreements with Percy Foreman in respect to the terms of the guilty plea are as follows: -111- The first contract -- these are excerpts from the contract. The first contract: "If the plea is entered and the sentence accepted and no embarrassing circumstances take place in the courtroom, I am willing to assign to any bank... all of my receipts under the above assignment in excess of $165,000." Second contract: "I am willing to advance Jerry [Ray] $500 and add it to the $165,000 mentioned in my other letter to you today. In other words, I would receive the first $165,000, but I would not make any other advances; just this $500. And this advance also is contingent upon the plea of guilty and sentence going through on March 10, 1968, without any unseemly conduct on your part in court." During the, period of my confinement in the Memphis jail, which totaled approximately 8 months, the conditions were as follows: The State of Tennessee retained, or was ordered to retain, two Federal prison officials who, in a first order of business, ordered sheets of metal be placed over all of the windows, thus shutting out fresh air and light. The Federals then had a blower installed for oxygen, which resulted in my having frequent nosebleeds. The blower could only be operated outside the cell block. Because of the lack of natural light, the Federals had lights rigged in the cell block, including the cell I was confined in, which were, kept on 24 hours a day. Complaining to the trial court about being unable to sleep under these conditions, the court said, "Sleep in a mask." During this confinement period I broke out in a rash. Thinking maybe I had been poisoned, I asked the doctor, who was related to the prosecutor, for a blood test. It required 2 or 3 days to have the test. After the blood sample was finally taken I was never told the test findings. However, in a 1974 habeas corpus hearing, the doctor testified the Memphis sheriff, William Morris, had ordered him to destroy all of the medical records. If I may digress here, Mr. Chairman. Well, I will wait and get this at the end of the statement. As you said, I can make a statement after I read this. Of the other possible interest to this committee, while Percy Foreman was representing me, I once provided Percy Foreman with a phone number, possibly connected to the King homicide, to investigate. However, Foreman commented later that if there were to be any phone numbers introduced into the King case "he" would produce them through his interstate gambling connections via a Meyer Lansky. The day after the guilty plea I was transferred to the State prison in Nashville, Tenn. Upon arrival all of my personal property, including the aforementioned phone number I had written down backward on the sheet of paper was confiscated by the Corrections Commissioner, Mr. Harry Avery 2 or 3 days later, said property was returned to me, excepting various items of personal and legal mail that had been posted to me in care of the Nashville prison. The first day in the prison I was confined forthwith in solitary confinement and was, on that same day, informed by Corrections Commissioner Harry Avery that I would never be released from solitary confinement unless I ceased efforts to gain a public trial in the King case. He said be was speaking for the highest authority. I had filed a motion for a new trial the day after I entered the prison and so informed Mr. Avery of my intent in this matter. -112- Thereafter, I was confined for 13 months in solitary confinement and during the initial period of this confinement I had to be treated by a doctor several times for nasal membrane, hemorrhaging. This ailment, damaged membrane, was due to confinement conditions in the Memphis jail, that is, lack of ventilation. In addition, during this period I was also treated for esophagus spasms, also related to the Memphis jail confinement conditions. After 13 months of this type of confinement I understand the late William E. Miller, recently a judge of the United States Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, interceded with prison authorities and had them transfer me to the State prison at Petros, Tenn. If I had not been transferred, I doubt if I would have been here today. In late July of 1963, the Petros prison was closed and I was transferred back to the Nashville prison. After being in the general prison population for approximately 4 days, I was summoned to the main prison office and informed I would be returned to solitary confinement. Requesting to see the warden, James Rose, I was informed by Mr. Rose that "people out in town" wanted me placed in solitary confinement but that if I quit litigating the case, he was sure I would be released from solitary confinement. Thereafter, I stayed in solitary confinement for 3 years. The first 18 months I was permitted out of the cell, which was approximately 6 by 9, 12 feet, for only 4 minutes per day. That was to take a shower. The cell block was infested with insects and rodents. During the 3 years I was in the building, four prisoners committed suicide; two by hanging and two by setting themselves on fire. Naturally, the dominant press in the United States said nothing about these suicides, although if they had happened in a foreign country, the same press would have been in a self-righteous rage or pretended rage. During this period, specifically in December of 1963, Tennes --yes, December of 1973 -- Tennessee correction officials, acting in collusion with the U.S. Department of Justice, attempted to illegally transfer me to the Federal mental institution in Springfield, Mo. This attempted transfer was after the aforementioned officials learned of a suit that was to be filed in my behalf in Federal court referring to those who may have been responsible for the shooting of Dr. Martin Luther King. Of other possible interest to this committee during this period: Just recently the aforementioned Corrections Commissioner Harry Avery has stated he gave all the papers, etcetera, he retained of mine and those connected with the King case to Attorney Thomas Wardlow Steele, of the Tennessee, Nashville, bar, and that the papers subsequently disappeared from Mr. Steele's office. In addition, Attorney Percy Foreman has testified that he, too, gave his complete file in the King case, including all the information I had given Mr. Foreman, to another Nashville attorney, the late John J. Hooker, Sr., and that Mr. Hooker "lost" them. Sincerely, James Ray. I have three or four other pages. Mr. PREYER.

submitted to the ICA pre-conference: The global and globalizing dimensions of mobile com munication Hiyam Hijazi-Omari and Rivka Ribak Department of Communication University of Haifa, Israel, 31905 Drawing on an extended ethnography of mobile phone practices among Palestinian Israeli teenage girls, this paper focuses on the di scourse concerning mobile phone use that the teenage girls encounter in popular magazin es a d in on-line forums and websites. Specifically, we hope to provide a detail d analysis of the discourse targeted against mobile phone use, as compared to the popula r global/North American discourse against media exposure (notably televisio n). Thus we aim to evaluate the extent to which the construction of technology as a moral threat pervades over and above cultural and media differences. Our fieldwork took place in Palestinian-Arab towns i Northern Israel. The first author observed and interviewed 30 informants (aged 15-18) from the initial appropriation in 2003, when ownership was unbeknown st to the teenagers' parents and the girls would illicitly use phones given to t hem by their boyfriends; through the explicit incorporation of the mobile phone into gen d red inter-generational family relationships two years later. In previous work (Hi jazi-Omari and Ribak, forthcoming), we described and analyzed the cultura l practices that were involved in the use of the mobile phone and the ways in which t hey were acted out in the encounter between men and women, tradition and (pos t-) modernity, and parents and children. Theoretically, by exploring the meaning o f mobile phone use in terms of "domestication" (Silverstone et al., 1992), we stud ied the ways in which biographies of communication technologies derived from and info rmed cultural practices; we also noted how cultural practice and technological devel opment called for a re-thinking and fine-tuning of the terminology employed in anal ytical accounts. In this paper, we wish to take a step backwards and study the discourses and interpretive repertoires that inform and in turn ar e informed by these practices. Throughout the observations, we were struck by the ext nt to which our informants relied on and explicitly cited popular family and y outh print and on-line magazines, forums and other publications. Upon looking at thes e reference sources, we noted that the websites construct a picture of the teenage gir l mobile phone user as a promiscuous threat, and her use is seen as transgre ssing parental, patriarchal and religious order and norms. In contrast to this cons truction of the mobile phone as Satan, the girls themselves discussed this medium i n forums as a romantic matchmaker and as liberator, expressing just the se ntim nts that their parents, brothers and teachers feared. Yet their construction of roma nce and their freedom was predicated on a notion of sin and moral decay; and whether or not they perceived themselves as morally impaired, they knew they were taking social risks. Michael Billig and his colleagues (1988) developed the notion of "ideological dilemmas" in reference to the choices one makes "be tween the wolf and the precipice." They noted that discourse is inherently dilemmatic or, following Bakhtin, that the word is always a rejoinder. In the paper w shall draw on this argumentative tradition and on the insights of discursive psychol ogy in order to explore (1) the ways in which while distinctive and seemingly antithetic al, both the conservative discourse of the community and the romantic discourse of the teenage girls are sensitive and responsive to one another; and thus, that both are ridd n with contradictions (e.g. that when dismissing traditional courtship, the girls' l iberation consists of a surrender to the romantic utopia of the West; see Erdreich, 2006 ; Illouz, 1997); and (2) the patterns of similarity and variation between the arguments a gainst Moslem teenage girls' mobile phone use, and earlier and contemporary call s in the west for the "elimination of television" (Mander, 1978) and other media.

Why Compare Electricity Rates?
Most people, especially ones who move to Texas from out of state or from regulated energy markets are not aware that they have the power to choose their electric provider.
Electricity companies are there to make a profit, and they will use different methods to charge you more. They use difficult-to-understand pricing tiers and terminology that is now known to the average consumer.
Without using an energy comparison service like SlashPlan you may not be aware of all discounts you can take advantage of, or the hidden fees that will mysteriously show up on your bill.
Let me present you with a common scenario that we see all the time:
Assuming you narrowed down your search to 2 energy companies (Company A & Company B) that both advertise a price of 10¢ per Kilowatt Hour (kWh). You might think that since both companies offer the same price, your bill would be the same. But it wouldn't!
Most of the prices that are advertised by the energy companies are Tiered Prices. So you will only pay the advertised rate if your monthly usage falls under that specific tier. Going back to our scenario, it would look something like this:
Company A offers the advertised rate when your monthly usage is ABOVE 2000 kWh.
Company B offers this price when your monthly usage is UNDER 1000 kWh.
So if we go back now and ask the same question. Which company offers a better rate? The answer to that is — it depends! Your bill price will be determined by various parameters such as monthly usage, base charges, usage credits, discounts, time of usage, and more… Calculating your final monthly bill would not be possible without taking all of the above parameters into account.
That's where SlashPlan comes in to help!
We display all-inclusive pricing from different providers in a standard, easy-to-read platform.
For you to know you're making the best decision, you need to have all the details in front of your eyes. Including all fees, discounts, and plan terms.
We've put all this information at your figure tips.
On our comparison page, you can sort, filter, and shop by price at YOUR specific usage level.
To make sure you are not misled by the energy companies, we display all-inclusive prices on our platform. We include all the credits and discounts you will be getting based on your exact usage. Oftentimes, the rates that are advertised online are associated with the highest usage levels, which are usually the lowest. Don't let these rates fool you. Most households do not reach the usage levels that are needed in order to qualify for these low rates.
SlashPlan has your best interest in our heart, and when shopping for energy, we are loyal to you. We act on your behalf to level the playing field and let the electric providers fight and compete to earn your business.
We supply you with all the info that you need in order to make the best purchasing decision. We only show rates from well-respected and reputable energy companies that you can rely on.
Even if you aren't moving, you can save hundreds of dollars a year by switching providers. If you're not locked into a contract with your energy provider you are likely overpaying.

How To Find A Reliable Energy Company in Rio Frio?
Most consumers are not aware that in Deregulated Energy markets, the energy companies that sell you power are not in charge of servicing and maintaining your electricity infrastructure. That job is done by a utility company (also known as TDSP).
Sounds odd, right?
In order for energy prices to stay low and competitive, law-makers in Texas decided to eliminate monopolies by not allowing the TDSP's to sell energy directly to the end-users.
So the Retail Providers sell you the electricity, but the TDSP's are the ones delivering that electricity to your home or business, and maintaining the infrastructure, such as power lines and poles.
If you have a power outage, or have an issue with your meter, you will need to contact the utility company that services your area.
There are 5 main utility companies in Texas. Determine which utility company services your area.
Why should I care about this anyway?
This means that the power that you receive to your home or business is literally all the same. Regardless of which company sells it to you. There is only 1 utility company that services your address, and they are the only company that delivers electricity to you.
So what are the differences between all the other energy providers?
The main differences are that they offer different plans, structures, and prices.
Some companies focus on Green Energy, while other focus on offering No-Deposit, or Short Term Variable plans.
If prices are the same, then the main differences that you should pay attention to are the provider's customer service, early cancellation policy, and ease of communication.
When you sign up for a new plan using SlashPlan, you can be confident that you're getting a great bargain, and will sign up with a well-known power company that has a proven track record of competitive prices and outstanding customer support.

Not Sure Which Energy Plan Will Work For You?
Other than price, these are the top points to consider when enrolling in a new plan:
Monthly Usage – This will directly affect your effective price. To find the best possible price, it's best if you have your previous 12-month usage history. You can then input that data into our calculator to find out exactly how much you will pay for the new plan.
Rate Type – Some people prefer a long-term peace of mind that comes with a Fixed Rate plan. Others prefer a more dynamic, sometimes lower rate that changes monthly according to the Electricity Price Index.
Term Length – Would you rather have peace of mind for the long term (12+ months), or would like to stick to a short-term 3-6 month plan?
Green Energy – How important is it to you? Would you like to help the environment by signing up for a Green Energy Plan?
To read more we have a blog with plenty of resources that explain everything you need to know about the energy market and useful cost-saving tactics and tips.
Our comparison page will instantly tell you which plan currently offers the cheapest price, based on your usage and the filters you select.
If you're still not sure and feel like you need some expert help, contact us today or check our guide on how to find the cheapest energy rate in Texas.
What Do I Need In Order To Sign Up?
It's important to remember that SlashPlan is not your electricity provider. We created a platform that allows you to instantly compare and sign-up (or switch) your electricity plan.
When you sign up for a new plan, your new provider requires us to send them some of the enrollment data.
We do not store sensitive information on our servers and make sure to protect your private data. We will never sell or share it with anyone!
Most people prefer a streamlined online enrollment, if you feel uncomfortable submitting your information online you can also enroll over the phone.
This normally is the information an electric company will require you to provide:
- Full Name
- Service Address
- Billing Address
- Social Security Number or Driver's License Number (to determine if a deposit is required)
- Requested service start date
- Meter Number – Each service address in Texas has a unique meter number, also known as an ESID. When you enroll online we will find your ESID number based on your address. If you enroll over the phone, you can also find this number in your previous electric bill.
Business Electricity Rates in Rio Frio
Business electricity rates in Rio Frio can vary widely, depending on the size of the business, the type of usage, and the length of the contract. This can make it difficult for business owners to shop for the best rates.
There are a few reasons why it's hard to shop for business electricity rates. First, there are many different providers to choose from, each with its own set of rates and plans. Second, the rates can change frequently, so it's important to stay up-to-date on the latest offers. Third, the terms of the contracts can be complex, making it difficult to compare apples to apples.
Despite the challenges, it's important for businesses to find the best electricity rates possible. This is because energy costs can account for a significant portion of a business's operating expenses. Even a small difference in rates can save a business a significant amount of money over the course of a year.
There are a few things that businesses can do to find the best electricity rates.
Get quotes from multiple providers. Compare rates and plans carefully. Read the terms of the contract carefully. Shop for a fixed-rate plan, and consider signing a longer-term contract.
By taking the time to shop for the best business electricity rate, business owners can save money and improve their bottom line.

At Practical Law's GC Leadership Summit last week, one demand was repeatedly made of external counsel by in-house lawyers: know our business. This doesn't just mean knowing what a company sells, its share price, or where its offices are, which some firms still fail to familiarise themselves with. These are important, but in-house counsel want and expect more than that; they want their retained lawyers (or those pitching to them) to really understand their business and their sector.
For example, what does the company sell? Is it food? A particular type of food? Who are its clientele? What type of service does it offer? What does life look like on the ground – for a waiter, a shift manager or a member of HR? What are the company's values and how does it endeavour to implement them in practice? What is its appetite for risk and the factors affecting this? What are the key issues affecting the sector – perhaps staffing concerns as a result of Brexit or the threats and opportunities posed by the gig economy and food delivery industry? Or something else?
Many of these factors cannot be gleaned from a website or wider due diligence, but they are nevertheless important to learn as, in many cases, they are what make a company tick and are the issues that occupy in-house counsel's working life day to day. But how can this insight be achieved?
Food for thought
An interesting, if unusual, example of how a law firm sought to understand its client's business was provided at the GC Leadership Summit. The client was a restaurant chain and the pitching law firm promised, should it be awarded the contract, to commit a certain number of its fee earners to working at the client's restaurants for several weeks.
This way, from taking orders and serving food, working shifts (at potentially even more antisocial hours than in private practice), and being alongside real people on the ground, the lawyers could get first-hand experience of the company, its people and its issues, as well as the culture and language of the sector – which will vary depending on whether they are "FOH" or "BOH".
This may not be a practical option for most law firms, but it does nevertheless illustrate the lengths that some firms are going to understand their clients and win and retain business.
Client secondments: an underutilised opportunity
Client secondments are something that most large and mid-size law firms offer, and it has become the norm in many instances for key clients to be provided with a rotating supply of trainees or associates, with some companies having secondees from several different firms at a time.
At a basic level, a secondment has the potential to benefit all parties to some extent. For example, it helps the in-house team to deal with workflow at lower (or deferred) cost, enables the secondee to build connections and enhance their commercial awareness, and provides an opportunity for firms to demonstrate their loyalty and commitment to the client. There are undoubtedly costs to the firm for providing this service, including the loss in hours billed to other clients by the reallocated team member.
The feedback from a number of in-house lawyers at the GC Leadership Summit was that firms frequently underutilise the opportunities provided by seconding employees to their business, despite the costs it incurs. It was suggested that firms rarely seek detailed feedback from secondees on their experience, which impacts negatively on both the firm and the client.
For the client, it is in their interest for the secondee to hit the ground running and provide value as soon as possible, as it takes time and resources to train them. With a constant rotation of secondees, it often becomes a source of irritation for companies when each new secondee arrives with little pre-existing knowledge of the company. One imagines that risk appetite, employment practices and sectorial issues are difficult to cover in a handover note, however this lack of information exchange pushes an unnecessary level of burden on to the in-house team and undermines the potential value of the secondment, both to the client and to the firm.
How to make the most of secondments
It was recommended at the GC Leadership Summit that secondees should deliver internal presentations on their experience in-house, to better inform the firm on the company's current aims and challenges, as well as its culture and people. If nothing else, this reduces the burden on the client to train each new secondee.
Surely firms, particularly those with a sectorial offering, would benefit from the secondee's first-hand experience. Knowing a client's real appetite for risk, its growth strategy and the characters of the GC and others making decisions, is invaluable information for a corporate team seeking to work with that client. As is information on brand management for the intellectual property team and concerns around GDPR compliance for the technology and data protection and privacy teams, for example.
Institutional insight is the key. A secondee working in the employment team, say, is likely to provide valuable intelligence for other practice areas that will help the firm cross-sell different services to the client – potentially providing exponential value to the firm from the placement. In depth knowledge transfer between secondees will also enable the incoming team member to hit the ground running and save the in-house team time and resources bringing them up to speed on basic aspects of the company. Feedback at the Summit suggests this would be gratefully received.
Opportunity to grow
It appears from the GC Leadership Summit that law firms still have a way to go in understanding what clients want. Most clients do not expect law firms to provide fee earners to clean the dishes or mop the floors, but they do expect firms to really know their business and the sector in which it operates; and many firms are underutilising the opportunities that secondments provide to gain this invaluable insight. In-house lawyers might bear this in mind and consider driving this agenda harder as law firms compete for their business in a crowded marketplace. | commoncrawl |
April 8th, 2010: Guys I wanted to put up a comic today but this trip is taking it out of me, I'm sorry! Instead here's a new mask like the ones created beneath this comic - this one is by Tony and uses watercolours! It's butiwouldraterbereading=onedoneinwatercolours - I've gotten quite a bit of these masks, so I'll probably put new ones up every Friday for the next little while. So with one way of looking at it, there is not a new comic today, but sixteen thousand and eighty-eighty new ones! That is a weird way to look at it though and there'll be a real new comic Monday.
I'll be at the MoCCA comics festival this weekend at the TopatoCo booth with tons of awesome people! You should come! It's in NEW YORK CITY, "concrete jungle where dreams are made of", listen I'm not sure what that phrase means but I think it changes subjects mid-way through.
I forgot to mention with the spring footers that Donnie sent in one, and then animated it.

Enterprise data protection. No compromises.
Cyber threats are getting harder to predict and harder to stop. The only way to be secure is to be sure that sensitive data is protected everywhere, all the time. However, most security products leave gaps because they:
- Focus on preventing intrusions, rather than protecting data itself
- Don't allow organizations to find out where their sensitive data really is
- Don't provide enough options for protecting data
- Only work on one or a few operating systems
- Encourage workarounds because they're too difficult to use and manage
- Or all of the above
Despite the risks, many organizations continue to rely on inadequate security because they can't find solutions that address the complex challenge of protecting data in multiple locations on multiple operating systems.
Complete enterprise data protection
PKWARE's Smartcrypt eliminates security gaps by finding, classifying, and protecting sensitive data across the entire enterprise. Smartcrypt provides capabilities no other product can match, allowing each organization to create a tailored data protection solution.
The Smartcrypt Enterprise Manager, a web-based administration console, allows security managers to define data protection policies and monitor activity across the organization. Smartcrypt automates key management, eliminating the complexity of key generation, exchange, synchronization, and rotation.
A Smartcrypt agent is installed on each user device or IT asset to protect data in accordance with the organization's policies. Depending on the organization's unique needs, Smartcrypt agents can be deployed to address file and folder encryption, transparent data encryption, data discovery, or other data protection needs.

Nigerian media personality and author, Toke Makinwa, in a new snippet of the latest episode of her vlog shared how she suggests that every lady living in the year 2020, should have a sex toy.
Sharing the video of a part of her vlog on her Instagram page earlier, the vlogger who loves to touch on all things sexually related to women, is heard dishing out the kinds of vibrators she thinks all women should have.
She's heard saying,
I think every female should have a vibrator, I mean, are you crazy? You don't have one, in 2020? Like dude, how do you even know what your body needs?
I have three types of vibrators I would advise you to get.
1. The bullet, goes in there… I'd advise you to also get the Rabbit, get yourself a clit surfer as well.
It's okay to know your body
Sharing the video on her page, she gave it the caption,
Sexducation for the females!!!!
PG 18 plixxxxx. Ignore my goofy self but while we are stuck at home I thought it's important I share this. A lot of us females grew up believing that sex is something we do to only procreate, so many of us didn't have a proper sex education, some believe sex is something to be given to your partner, sex is dirty, we cringe at the mention of it, get shy, don't allow ourselves to even attempt to discover our bodies cos it's somewhat of a taboo. I am not an expert, I recently attended a bridal shower and there was one and boy the conversation, questions, education was an eye opener. Every woman deserves to know her body, learn what you like without being shy and be free to express yourself and that's what we talk today. All the experts, feel free to share tips too. | commoncrawl |

John Brown's "Little" Big Band
Friday, June 3, 2022
7:30 p.m. - Orringer Auditorium
Tickets: Adults $25/Students $12
(Tickets issued for the original concert date, Friday, January 21, 2022, will be honored on June 3, 2022)
John Brown (bassist) and his "Little" Big Band will bring the sound of the 1940s swing band music to life in this evening show of instruments and BIG dramatic notes! The "little" comes from the number of people they have displayed on stage. Despite their 11-member size, this group packs a big band punch and is in high demand for feature performances at concert halls, educational residencies, concerts, and private events across North Carolina and beyond.
Brown, a bassist since he was 13, has several accomplishments including performing with the North Carolina Symphony and well-known artists such as Wynton Marsalis, Elvin Jones, Nnenna Freelon, Mark Whitefield, and others across the United States and abroad.
Special thanks to our performance grant providers

The Business Benefits of Proactive Commercial Aircon Servicing
commercial aircon servicing – As a business owner, you have many important decisions to make regarding the operation of your company. And while topics like marketing strategies and financial planning may take up much of your attention, it's important not to overlook the maintenance of your commercial space – specifically, the air conditioning system. While it may seem like just another item on your to-do list, investing in proactive servicing for your commercial aircon can actually have a significant impact on your bottom line. In this blog post, we'll explore the various business benefits of regularly maintaining your commercial air conditioning unit and how it can improve both employee productivity and customer satisfaction. So sit back, relax (in a comfortably cool environment), and let's dive into why proactive commercial aircon servicing should be a top priority for any business owner looking to succeed.
Explanation of what commercial aircon servicing is and why it's important
Commercial aircon servicing refers to the maintenance and repair of air conditioning units in commercial buildings such as offices, hospitals, and hotels. It is important to ensure that the air conditioning system is functioning properly as it helps to create a comfortable and healthy environment for the people inside. A well-maintained air conditioning system can reduce the risk of health problems arising from poor air quality, such as allergies, respiratory issues, and infections. Plus, regular servicing can prevent breakdowns and save businesses money in the long run by lowering energy bills and extending the lifespan of the units. In short, commercial aircon servicing is an investment in the health, comfort, and efficiency of any commercial setting.
Cost Savings of Commercial Aircon Servicing
Cost savings are a crucial aspect of any organization, be it small or large. Companies are always searching for ways to minimize production costs while maintaining optimal performance. Cutting expenses can help businesses save money and increase profits, leading to higher revenue and better financial stability. However, cost savings should not come at the expense of compromising the quality of goods or services offered to customers. It is crucial to find a balance between reducing expenses and providing value to customers. By adopting cost-effective measures, businesses can be more productive, efficient, and competitive. Implementing strategies that focus on cost savings is a smart move that can help organizations remain sustainable in the market.
a. Proactive maintenance vs reactive repairs
Maintaining anything, whether it be your car or your home, is essential to ensure it functions properly and lasts longer. When it comes to maintenance, two options are proactive maintenance and reactive repairs. Proactive maintenance means taking preventative measures to avoid breakdowns or damages, whereas reactive repairs involve fixing something only after it has broken or stopped working. While reactive repairs may seem like a quick fix, they can be costly and cause more downtime in the long run. On the other hand, proactive maintenance can save time and money by avoiding emergencies and increasing the lifespan of the asset. It's like regular oil changes for your car; if you stay on top of them, your car will run smoothly for years to come. So, whether you're maintaining a home or business, being proactive is the way to go.
b. Longer lifespan of aircon units
As the summer temperatures continue to rise, the need for air conditioning becomes essential. However, with the frequent use of aircon units, it's no secret that they can wear out over time. Upgrading to a newer unit can be costly and time-consuming, which is why the idea of longer lifespan for aircon units is a game-changer. By investing in a system that lasts longer, you are not only saving money in the long run, but also reducing waste and environmental impact. Plus, with the latest technology in air conditioning, such as smart thermostats and energy-efficient options, you can enjoy the benefits of a longer-lasting unit while also saving on your energy bill. So, say goodbye to a constantly rotating cycle of aircon replacements and hello to a summer filled with cool, comfortable air.
c. Reduced energy consumption and lower utility bills
As we become more conscious about the environment and our own wallets, the importance of reducing energy consumption is undeniable. By taking small steps like turning off electrical appliances and using energy-efficient light bulbs, we can lower our utility bills while also doing our part to protect the planet. These changes may seem insignificant at first, but over time can add up to a significant impact on both our finances and the environment. Whether it's through using smart home devices or making a conscious effort to be more aware of our daily energy consumption, there are plenty of ways to reduce our carbon footprint and save some cash along the way.
Increased Efficiency from Commercial Aircon Servicing
In today's fast-paced world, time is money, and companies are always looking for ways to maximize their efficiency. With advances in technology and innovative new systems, increasing efficiency has never been more feasible. Whether it's streamlining processes, automating tasks or optimizing workflows, finding ways to do things faster and with less waste is crucial for staying competitive. This not only helps businesses increase their profit margins but also benefits customers by offering faster and higher-quality services. From small startups to large corporations, increased efficiency is essential for success in today's market. So, if you're looking to thrive in your industry, it's time to start looking for ways to streamline your operations and boost your productivity.
a. Proper calibration and tuning of aircon units
Proper calibration and tuning of aircon units is essential for maintaining a comfortable living or working environment. When an air conditioning unit is not calibrated correctly, it can lead to a number of issues, including poor performance, higher energy bills, and even complete system failure. Additionally, tuning an aircon unit can help to optimize its efficiency and prolong its lifespan. By ensuring that your aircon unit is properly calibrated and tuned, you can be confident that it is operating at its fullest potential, providing you with cool and comfortable air while helping you save money on energy costs. So, if you're experiencing any problems with your air conditioning system, don't hesitate to call a professional to take a look and get it properly calibrated and tuned.
b. Optimized cooling performance
When it comes to electronics, especially those that run at high temperatures, optimized cooling performance is crucial. Overheating can lead to permanent damage and reduced performance. Thankfully, advancements in technology have allowed for better cooling solutions such as liquid cooling and advanced heat sink designs. Optimized cooling not only protects your device from damage, but it can also lead to longer lifespan and improved performance. So whether you're a gamer pushing your computer to its limits or a professional working with high-end equipment, investing in optimized cooling is a must-have for any tech enthusiast.
c. Impact on employee comfort and productivity
In any workplace, employee comfort and productivity are critical factors to ensure success. When employees are comfortable and motivated, they become more productive. However, when they are uncomfortable or dissatisfied, productivity drops, and they are more likely to make mistakes. The impact on employee comfort and productivity is particularly crucial in jobs where employees perform repetitive tasks or work under stressful conditions. Employers can take measures such as providing ergonomic furniture, ensuring proper lighting, offering regular breaks, and creating a positive work environment to improve employee comfort and productivity. Ultimately, investing in employee well-being pays off in increased productivity, better customer service, and reduced employee turnover rates.
Prevention of Breakdowns with Commercial Aircon Servicing
One of the most frustrating issues in any industry is equipment breakdowns. Not only do they cause delays and decrease productivity, but they can also be costly to repair. That's why it's essential to prioritize prevention measures for breakdowns. Regular maintenance and inspections can identify potential problems before they become major issues. It's also important to invest in high-quality equipment and train employees on proper usage and handling. Another useful tactic is implementing a predictive maintenance program that utilizes technology to monitor equipment and alert maintenance teams to any anomalies. By taking a proactive approach to preventing breakdowns, companies can save time, money, and resources while ensuring their operations run smoothly.
a.Entirely avoidable costs associated with breakdowns
Breakdowns are an inevitable part of running any kind of machinery or equipment, but did you know that there are entirely avoidable costs associated with them? Not only do breakdowns lead to costly repairs and replacements, they also cause lost productivity and potential delays in meeting deadlines. These costs can add up quickly and eat away at your company's bottom line if not properly addressed. The good news is that many of these breakdowns can be prevented with proper maintenance and proactive measures. By investing in regular aircon servicing and inspections, you can minimize the risk of unexpected breakdowns and keep your business running smoothly.
b.Minimizing downtime for business operations
As any business owner knows, time is money. This rings especially true when it comes to minimizing downtime for business operations. Every minute that your business is not up and running is a potential loss in revenue. The key is to have a solid plan in place for when unexpected downtime occurs. This can be everything from having backup systems in place to having a designated point person to handle any issues that arise. Taking these steps proactively can help minimize the negative impact of downtime on your business and keep operations running smoothly.
c.Importance of regular maintenance checks
Regular maintenance checks can seem like an inconvenience but they are actually vital to ensuring the longevity and proper functioning of any system or machine. Whether it's your vehicle, home appliances, or even your own body, taking the time to perform routine checks and maintenance can save you time, money, and prevent potential breakdowns. Without regular maintenance, small issues can quickly turn into larger and more costly problems. By scheduling regular checks, you can catch these issues before they become serious and take the necessary steps to avoid a more significant repair or replacement. In short, regular maintenance checks aren't just important; they're crucial if you want to keep your systems running smoothly and avoid unwanted surprises down the road.
Commercial Aircon Servicing Matters
Regular maintenance checks are an essential part of keeping any machine or system running smoothly. Whether it's your car or the HVAC system in your home, regular maintenance is crucial to ensuring that your investment runs at maximum efficiency. Consistent maintenance checks can help you spot problems early on, before they become major issues that may require costly repairs. Scheduling these checks regularly can also help you save money in the long run by preventing major breakdowns and prolonging the life of your equipment. Remembering to schedule these checks may seem like a tedious task, but the peace of mind that comes with knowing your systems are in good working order is well worth the effort. So, the next time you're tempted to put off scheduling that maintenance check, remember the benefits of staying on top of your equipment's upkeep. | commoncrawl |

We all know Hillary has mental issues, but that's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about actual neurological problems that the Democratic nominee may be experiencing, but refuses to disclose for obvious political reasons.
Recently, the Drudge Report posted a picture of Hillary Clinton being assisted by two men up a few steps. Drudge's headline that accompanied the picture linked to her recent health episodes including falls, concussions, blood clots, a broken elbow, and others.
The Sean Hannity Show reached out to the Clinton campaign to ask about the picture and the Drudge headlines, but they'd only comment on how "shameful" the Drudge Report and Hannity were for their "vitriol." Curiously, they didn't offer any comment on the Democratic nominee's health.
According to one of Hannity's guests Dr. Marc Seigel, "the public has a right to know." He continued:
Trending: The Jesus was a Socialist Lie
"We're talking in 2008, Sean, I looked over a thousand pages of John McCain's records because of a melanoma he had 10 years ago. What about Hillary? In 2009, a severe fall. She breaks her elbow. In 2011, she boards a plane, falls. In 2012 she has a severe, concussion which Bill Clinton says took her six months to recover from.
"Then she ends up with a blood-clot in the brain and a lifetime of blood thinners. Just that point alone — if she's prone to falling, you can see from that picture up there that it looked like she can barely get upstairs without two people carrying her. Guess what if she falls and hits her head? She'll get a blood-clot."
"I want to know what her neurological records show."
Hannity's other guest Dr. David Samadi also weighed in:
"The picture going up the stairs speaks a million words. Is she fatigued? Is she dehydrated? One of the main reasons she fell in 2012 and had the concussions was severe dehydration. They're holding her and going up the stairs. So she may be really dehydrated, she may have arthritis, she may have back pain, she may have fallen again. We don't know. There are questions that are unanswered. What we know today is she's on thyroid medication, she suffers from hypothyroid, low thyroid, that can cause fatigue and gaining weight and all of that."
Hannity brought up a recent Gateway Pundit article that showed pictures of Hillary's handler carrying a diazepam pen – a medical device for those who experience seizures. "I think a traumatic brain injury with symptoms down the road is very, very likely here especially since she had a blood-clot on her brain," Dr. Seigel responded. "As David mentioned that could lead to a seizure problem. Someone is carrying a [diazepam] pen that you'd use in case of a seizure, a Valium pen, that makes me wonder about that."

I haven't thought it through that much but I hope it provides some sort of food for thought. <br />I hated reading when I was in Key Stage 3. In particular Non-Fiction. To this day, I still struggle to read non-fiction; it has to be an AMAZING story to get me turning the pages, and of course my definition of "amazing" will very much differ from somebody else/another kid's. I have put that down, in part, to the fact that I had a very active imagination from early on & quite a distinctive one at that - thus I could not stand fiction which didn't fit in with my own imagination's concept of what was possible and believable. I wonder if many other non-readers are exactly the same, yet English teachers continue to shove standard book-lists of the 'must reads.' <br />I imagine every child has their own unique 'literary profile' if you will. They just need to find what type of writing gets them going best. Travel writing? Biographies (I love a good biography), fiction of a specific kind? I'm not sure. Perhaps you could try with a class early on listing the different types, going off and reading some and then not writing a book review, but a review of the different genres, which ones they like, which they do not and proceeding from there. The one worry I would have with such a task is you wouldn't want a child to therefore build up a very negative view of a genre, a bit like my "I don't do fiction" which dogmatically persists to this day and could prove something of a hindrance to class tasks.<br /><br />I do think a 'class blog' type of thing could be brought into play here too. Students could publish a guide to what sort of reading members of the public/internet might like to try. "If you are like this, or interested in that - you might find this sort of writing good. A good book is..." and proceed with a traditional mini book review.<br /><br />Just my two-penneth! Another thought provoking piece. Quite a good blog you've got going here,<br /><br />WarrenWarren Valentinehttps://[email protected] | commoncrawl |
Finance Minister K M Mani has said that the banks in the state should work in tandem with the government for real and meaningful financial inclusion. He was speaking at the sectoral session on financial services at the 'Emerging Kerala' investors' meet here on Friday. He added that banks should provide more funds to micro-finance institutions and high tech farming.
"The state receives around Rs 60,000 crore as remittance, but a huge chunk of it is routed to real estate investment. The money should be re-routed to productive projects. Projects like Vizhinjam, metro and monorail will change the face of Kerala," Mani said.
Pointing out the importance of the Self Employment Entrepreneurial Mission, that envisages imparting entrepreneurial skills to 50,000 educated unemployed youngsters over a period of five years, the Minister said that the government through Kerala Financial Corporation will give interest-free loans of Rs 20 lakh to the entrepreneurs who pass the programme.
The first batch of entrepreneurs has completed training and the second batch is currently under way, the Minister added.
During the panel discussion V P Joy, Principal Secretary (Finance), Govt of Kerala, said that the state is on the path of financial consolidation. He added that the revenue deficit of the state will be reduced to zero per cent by 2015. Subir Gokarn, Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of India, called for balancing innovation and regulation while extending the scope of the financial services in Kerala. | commoncrawl |

Eastern Care Hospital Limited Doctor List and Contact Number
Medical care is one of the fundamental needs of every human being living on earth. If you look back at the history of our planet, we will see that many people have died in the past as they do not have any kind of medical assistance available to them. Most of the people in the past have died from the diseases, these days we can not even imagine. But those times are in the distant past as these days the medical care sector of the whole world has changed a lot.
These days the doctors have the ability to treat and cure most of the diseases. The whole medical scenario of the world has changed a lot in the last few years. With the world the medical sector of Bangladesh has also changed by much as many new international standards and other hospitals emerged in the medical sector of Bangladesh.

Corrections Facility Counts on PRIDE Industries to be Hospital-Grade Clean
With 1.4 million square feet, eight buildings, and sixteen small yards, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation/California Health Care Facility (CDCR/CHCF) Stockton is a licensed medical facility that provides medical, mental health, and dental care to approximately 1,200 inmates. It employs approximately 4,000 professionals who administer an array of services. The facility is further responsible for the housing and incarceration of about 2,450 felons/patients who receive various treatments and care. The prison's licensure requires compliance with Titles 22 and 24, which include extremely strict guidelines for environmental services, ensuring the proper cleaning and maintenance of a facility at a hospital standard of care.
The Challenge: A Shortage of Reliable, Trained HIPPA-Compliant Staff
Since the facility's opening in 2013, the CDCR/CHCF has struggled to find and retain a reliable, knowledgeable environmental services workforce. The unique nature of the organization and its facility—its mission, its need for patient confidentiality, its sophisticated training requirements, its stringent cleaning requirements, its security clearance mandates, and the people skills required for patient interaction—presented significant challenges.
"Before PRIDE Industries, CDCR used a porter system, civil service personnel, and another contractor, but there were a lot of hiring and retention issues with all three," said Ande Heckman, Correctional Business Manager II at the facility. "Then we found PRIDE Industries. Not only did their experience and expertise stand out, but so did their mission to create employment for people with disabilities."
The Solution: PRIDE Industries Provides Hospital-Standard Environmental Services with a Consistent Workforce
"We were able to offer CDCR the personnel resource bandwidth and expertise needed to resolve their staffing issues," said Gary Swarthout, General Manager of Hospitality Services at PRIDE Industries. "Equipped with the necessary recruitment strategies, infrastructure, quality and safety experience, and an eager workforce, we expedited and activated services for the facility."
This has included a staff trained specifically in hospital-standard cleaning protocols—one that consistently passes security clearance investigations.
The Result: Consistently High Assessment Scores, Reduced Disease, and Preservation of Licensure
"Our approach has resulted not only in meeting CDCR/CHCF high cleaning standards, but it has also enabled a robust review, reporting, and corrective action process along with monthly executive summaries that highlight levels of compliance and performance," said Swarthout.
The team's efforts and infrastructure also resulted in CDCR/CHCF Stockton obtaining a Healthcare Assessment Maintenance score of 92.5 percent in March 2022 and 85.4 percent in October 2022. These results point to measurable outcomes which preserve the facility's licensure and its environment of care for patient housing and treatment, ultimately reducing the spread of disease and infection.
A Full-Service Solution
PRIDE Industries recruits, hires, places, and comprehensively trains its CDCR custodial staff—specifically in medical-standard operating procedures, safety, quality, compliance, equipment, and institutional policies.
Business Excellence with a Positive Social Impact
PRIDE Industries is a social enterprise with a mission to provide employment for people with disabilities by delivering high-value business services in the areas of facilities management and manufacturing. The company provides award-winning environmental services in large spaces like the Sacramento Metropolitan Airport as well as at large corporations like Vision Service Plan.
"Before PRIDE Industries, CDCR used a porter system, civil service personnel, and another contractor, but there were a lot of hiring and retention issues with all three. Then we found PRIDE Industries. Not only did their experience and expertise stand out, but so did their mission to create employment for people with disabilities."

Frustrated finding a [mobile] contract
Posted by: Jas on Jan 25, 2011
So I'm trying to go onto a contract through Vodacom, but I just can't seem to find anything that I really want to find out. Not from their Website, not from other company websites... And I am not the kind of person that feels he should have to waste his time going into a store in order to find out this kind of information (not with the Internet at my command!) I know I want to go for a BlackBerry Torch, and I know I want a contract that includes the "free" Internet that has helped popularise the BlackBerry-line of phones.
However, looking at the Vodacom Website (an abomination of the Web if you ask me - they seem to be going backwards in their design and ability to give out information - requiring you to click through pages and pages of utter waft where they could clearly have presented all the information on a single page), they don't provide a pure distinction between the different packages that you get with BlackBerry. Heck, all I could really find was info about the Talk 100 (S) - but on another site (Elite Mobile) they talk about the BlackBerry Talk 100 Bis (The Bis meaning? Business Internet Solution? Clarify please! I had to find out the acronym on MTN's website - yes Vodacom, you lead me directly to your competition from your crappy website because you can't fathom that you might actually need to explain things to your prospective clients).
I'm starting to wonder if it's even worth my time?
For instance, have a look at this page: http://www.vodacom.co.za/vodacom/Deals/Cellphones/All+Cellphones/38,BlackBerry+9800+-+Talk+120+S
They have a pic of the phone; they have a hyperlink leading to the phone specifications... But why not provide all that info on the same page? Hello! This is the Internet 101! It makes Vodacom's Web team look like its being run by a bunch of monkeys who have no idea about the Web itself, let alone how to construct information in a clear, concise manner! Don't just show me a picture of the phone (I would use Google Image search if I really wanted to see it), give me details about the package, about what I get in the package (there's not even a hyperlink to it - so now I have to spend my time searching their anal retentive website that is dysfunctional at the best of times just to find out that it doesn't really tell me about the "free" Internet that I want from the phone contract!), what I don't get... Is it really that difficult, Vodacom?
I would seriously enjoy getting feedback from Vodacom about their ridiculous Website. Who's in charge in controlling the content, and why the hell are they still hired by the company? It clearly doesn't provide a very good "front" for the company... Hello! We're in the era of Web 2.0 - not designs that belonged in the 90's... Information at your finger tips? More like endless reams of absolute $#*% that leads you in circles (yes you dim wits, you are getting such good "ratings" on your web count from me because I can't find anything on your site). Grrr... It frustrates me to the point where I actually want to go out and scream at somebody (and I'm not an agressive man!).
You would think, that in this day and age of the Internet and web technologies around, that these companies would introduce, you know, a way of customising your package completely. By customise, I mean select your package, your free minutes, your SMS bundle, your data bundle - configuring the entire package to your liking. Since it's all controlled by computer(s) anyways, the whole recording of the package information and implementing it from the billing perspective should be fairly trivial. Perhaps I should patent the idea - while I'm throwing it out there, freely, for you to implement yourself...
Well, enough of my rant! I'm going to head outside for a breath of fresh air, and hope that by the time I get back to my machine, I will be a little less irked!

High Country Baking: Everyone can enjoy rhubarb-raspberry cobbler
High Country Baking
Editor's note: High altitude makes cookies spread in the pan, cakes fall, and few baked goods turn out as they do at sea level. This twice-monthly column presents recipes and tips that make baking in the mountains successful.
Here's a sure bet. I mean, really, have you ever met anyone who doesn't like fruit cobbler? Fresh fruit, baked until it's soft and sweet, topped with warm biscuits … wholesome, satisfying comfort food with universal appeal. I make at least one a season; they never get old.
What makes this variation noteworthy? A filling that combines rhubarb with raspberries is a pleasant and visually appealing surprise, but the biscuits that top it get the loudest applause — if made correctly, they're swoon-worthy tender. Their melt-in-your-mouth softness is due to several things: the use of heavy cream, superfine sugar and bleached flour, as well as handling the dough as little as possible and treating it as gently as you would a newborn baby. It's also important to use finely ground cornmeal or cornflour; even medium-ground cornmeal could result in biscuits with a slightly gritty texture rather than a tender one.
The amount of sugar you'll use in the filling depends on the sweetness of your raspberries as well as your personal preference. The quantity given in the recipe below results in a taste that's balanced between sweet and tart when used with berries that aren't quite ripe and are barely sweet. So, sample your berries and alter the amount of sugar to your liking.
Rhubarb-Raspberry Cobbler
Make in a 2-quart glass or ceramic baking pan
¾ cup plus 2 tablespoon superfine sugar, preferably Baker's
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons crème de cassis, optional
3 cups washed, trimmed rhubarb, cut into ¼-inch pieces
3 cups fresh raspberries
Biscuit Topping
½ cup bleached all-purpose flour, spoon and level
1/3 cup finely ground cornmeal or cornflour
2 tablespoons superfine sugar, preferably Baker's
2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
1/3 cup heavy cream, cold, plus more for brushing
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees with a rack in the center position. Lightly grease your baking pan, preferably with unsalted butter. Make the filling: Place the sugar and cornstarch in a large bowl and whisk to combine them well. Add the crème de cassis, if you're using it, and whisk again so the dry ingredients are uniformly moist. Add the rhubarb and raspberries and toss gently until all the fruit is coated and none of the sugar-cornstarch mixture remains at the bottom of the bowl. Set this aside to macerate for up to an hour.
2. Make the biscuit topping: Place the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade and pulse to combine well. Cut the cold butter into six pieces, add them and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal with some pieces of butter still visible. Add the cold cream and pulse again, only until large, moist curds form and no dry ingredients remain. To do this by hand, whisk the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl until well combined, cut the butter into small pieces, add them and use a pastry blender, your fingers or two forks to blend them until a mixture is formed that looks like coarse meal with some small chunks of butter within it. Lightly stir in the cream only until a dough starts to form.
3. Dump the dough out onto a sheet of waxed paper. Very gently pat it together. Just as gently, form it into biscuits by making seven equally sized balls of dough (if using a round pan) or eight balls of dough (if using a square or rectangular pan). Lightly flatten each of the balls into a thick round. Place them on a plate, cover and refrigerate them for at least 15 minutes and up to a day.
4. Pour the filling and any remaining juices into your prepared pan, smooth and level it. Remove the dough biscuits from the refrigerator and arrange them decoratively on top. (If using a round pan, place six around the perimeter and one in the middle; for a square pan, make two rows of four biscuits.) Brush the biscuits with a little cream and place the pan on a foil-lined baking sheet (to catch any drips). Bake the cobbler until the filling is bubbling and the biscuits are lightly golden, 35-40 minutes. Remove the cobbler from the oven and serve when it's cooled to warm or cool completely, refrigerate and re-heat before serving. Vanilla ice cream or cold clotted cream are wonderful additions.
This recipe was inspired by one published in the New York Times. Vera Dawson, author of the high-altitude cookbooks Baking Above It All and Cookies in the Clouds, (available at The Bookworm in Edwards and Next Page Bookstore in Frisco), is a high-altitude baking teacher. Her recipes have been tested in her Summit County kitchen and, whenever necessary, altered until they work at our altitude. Contact her at [email protected].

Runners Rule The Road "On The Run!"October 19th, 2011 at 4:05 pm by jonleiding under Health, Sports, Uncategorized
The Latest Running news in Hampton Roads from Sportswrap Running Reporter, Jon "Flex" Leiding
No Stopping the "757!"
In case you hadn't heard, Hampton Roads' Lashawn Merritt has been cleared to defend his Olympic Gold medal in the 400M for next year. Unlike alot of news, that's a positive. we wish Lashawn the very best and hope we get a chance to interview him as he preps for London. The world will be watching…
There seems to be a buzz in the air this month. Fall Marathons must be near. Gearing up for them, Hampton Roads Runners have been cracking off some speedy times. Congrats and many thanks to those of you who hit the Oceanfront for the Susan Komen Run this past weekend. With October being the month for Breast Cancer Awareness, it was a wonderful event. That said, Jennifer Quarles, of Williamsburg was the Fastest Female in the Run for Breast Health 10Kwith a 39:59. Skeeter Morris was the Overall winner in 33:35. "F.O.B.s" ,Friends of the Blog, Todd Kessler and Greg Dawson were in the Top Three.
The ODU Accounting 5K left no numbers to be crunched. Chesapeake's Geophrey Mills was the Champion in 16:36, while the Ladies Winner was Jacquelyne Chantry from Williamsburg sparkled with a 19:10. Coincidentally, her Father is Masters Running Standout, Stephen Chantry. That's a lot of speed there…
On the Peninsula, the Noland 10K went to JR Cruz, of Yorktown, with a 37:01. the Fastest Female was Diane Haupt in 43:19. Not done yet, until we mention the Grunt Run 5 Miler, won by Virginia Beach's Chad Shroy with a swift 36:11. Another friend of the Blog, Elizabeth Campos topped the Ladies column in 44:48.
Now, Let's Race!
This Saturday, you can't throw a rock in any direction without finding a race. In Fredricksburg, check out the Run with the Law 5K or get ready for the Tribe's Homecoming weekend with the William and Mary Homecoming 5K. You want something different? Cross the Gloucester Bridge to hit up the 4th Annual Bobby Stewart 8K & 5K in Mathews. Closer to my home, head to 17th Street for the De-Feet Domestic Violence 5K. The Sunset Six Race takes off from Little Neck Swim & Racquet Club for a very cool evening run Saturday. There's "opportunity", as my wife calls it, to get two races in one day.
In Norfolk, get in the Halloween mode with From Here to Eternity 5K starting at the Elwood Cemetery in Norfolk. Like that old 1980′s Rockwell song, you might feel like "Somebody's Watchin' Me"….
To find out more about all the races around, check out colonialroadrunners.org, peninsulatrackclub.com, j&aracing.com, kalerunning.com, and tidewaterstriders.com.
Speaking of Spooky
Next weekend, our great friends at J & A Racing have the Wicked 10K, with more costumes than you could shake a skeleton with. Jerry and Amy Frostick are back at the Oceanfront again with another sold out race. Be prepared for speed. Wonder if the Ghostbusters car will again lead the race? Who knows….
Going Long and Going Strong
Over the next few weeks, Runners in the "757″ will travel to New York and Washington, D.C. for the New York City and Marine Corps Marathon, respectively. Familiar faces will be everywhere in Washington. Our friends from Kale Running/ mettle Events will be handling some of the timing mats as runners speed by. You may also remember that last year, Norfolk's Mel Williams,73, a great Friend of the Blog and Tidewater Strider Hall of Famer, has run all 35 MCMs in D.C. In case you missed an opportunity, check last year's interview and also a preview of the 50 miler he has planned in December:
I'll try to catch him in Washington. Maybe another interview? Who knows?
We wish Mel and ALL runners at the Marine Corps and New York City Marathons "Good Luck!"
Choices, Choices, Choices
The second week of November offers up three very cool races, all the same weekend. Right up I-64, the Suntrust Richmond Marathon & Half Marathon blaze through the state capitol, saturday, the 12th. Down in Carolina, the Outer Banks 8K and Buccaneer 5K run Satruday, with the Outer banks Full and Half Marathons on Sunday, the 13th. In Norfolk, the inaugural Norfolk Freedom Half Marathon is on the same day. This area has SO MANY options. I guess we are lucky Runners in Hampton Roads.
Time to Fly
Thanks for all the feedback and emails. Can't do this without you. If you have a story idea or questions, drop me a line at [email protected]. You can always find my Running Blog, weekly here onWAVY.com, or at ontherunwithflex.wordpress.com. Good luck with your training and who knows? Maybe I'll see you soon… "On The Run!"

Polluted groundwater cannot
desperate people can do desperate things. But desperate people with no fear of regulation and no knowledge of the consequences of their action would definitely do desperate things that cause irreparable harm. Consider the case of how developers in Mumbai are buying real estate to build residential complexes on lands there were, till recently, polluting industrial estates. These sites on which new (perhaps plush) residential complexes are being constructed were declared contaminated by pollution control authorities and the industries closed down because they were toxic and dangerous.
It is on this land, which still oozes yellow (unidentified) effluent, that houses will be built for people to live. In all likelihood, builders will promise a paradise -- they will cover up the sore spots with some trees and shrubs and perhaps throw in a fountain or lake. The beautification will make the site sellable: a paradise on the outskirts of Mumbai.
But wait. What lies underneath is not an ordinary graveyard but a chemical disaster zone. What will be the impact of this on the inhabitants of this colony, who have now realised their lifelong dream to own a house of their own? The house is what middle-class Indians slave for throughout their lives -- aspiring to join the proud owners of property. What will come of their middle-class dream when, one day, they discovered that the water they drink is toxic. Because pollutants have leached into the groundwater. Or find that where their children play is poisoned, the green cover up notwithstanding. Because the playground is built on the toxic dump the factory left behind.
Who knows? Worse, as our story reveals, who cares? The fact is that housing, particularly in Mumbai, is prized. The construction lobby is king. The regulators are second -- perhaps last -- fiddle. There are no regulations to ensure that housing sites are carefully evaluated for their safety and presence of toxins. The bottomline is that environmental disasters are soon coming home. Literally. Very close to home. Watch out. More important, stop them before they blow up.

"The Duo Beija-Flor is an incredibly dynamic and creative team. The flutist (Marie-Noëlle Choquette) has a beautifully warm sound which is dynamic and supremely expressive. The guitarist (Charles Hobson) is absolutely fantastic and provides a perfect bed for the flutist to soar on" -Viviana Guzman, The Flute View Magazine, San Francisco
"With each instrument, they change timbres and ornaments, tempi and rhythmical interplay, with harmonies that reach the sounds of rock, all while staying classical. A great discovery from Montreal" -Yves Bernard, Le Devoir, Montreal
Artistic Statement
Duo Beija-Flor is a classical flute and guitar duo that is as multi-layered as their home base of Montreal. Their repertoire, based upon what they call "ethno-classical" music, is full of unique and colourful sonorities that takes listeners on a musical voyage. Much like the nationalistic musical movement that came to life at the end of the 19th century, their repertoire consists of music from composers that have used either traditional dances, stories, or songs in order to create their works. They incorporate many extended and contemporary techniques in their performance giving them a more authentic sound and at the same time a modern twist to their music. With this type of repertoire they seek to increase the understanding of the diverse populations and cultures that make up modern-day Canada through music, anecdotes and outreach performances.
Inspired by their unique brand of ethno-classical music, Duo Beija-Flor has performed concerts throughout Canada, the United States, Argentina, and Costa Rica. To date, they have released three critically acclaimed albums Costas (2018), Muzica (2013) and Envol (2011) and they have been invited on several TV and radio programs (Radio-Canada, Global TV, CIBL, TVCK, Cogeco TV etc.). Guitarist Charles Hobson and flutist Marie-Noëlle Choquette began performing together while in the midst of their graduate studies at Concordia University in Montreal. In 2009 they officially formed the Duo Beija-Flor. In 2010, the duo was named laureates in the competition "Mon Accès à la Scène" and in 2012, they were recipients of the grant "Fonds de promotion de la GMMQ" from Québec's chapter of the AFM. They have received grants from both the Canadian and Quebec arts councils, including for performances and masterclasses in Vancouver (2016 and 2017) and at the University of Costa Rica in November 2019. In the 2020-21 season they have been selected to tour under the auspicious of Prairie Debut. This tour will see the duo perform for the first time in the Canadian prairies.
In September 2018, Duo Beija-Flor released their third and latest album, Costas with American label, Big Round Records/NAXOS of America. This album, based upon their Latin program of the same name, is comprised of music from the Atlantic coasts of the Latin world. The album has garnered rave reviews from the USA, Canada and England including a 4.5/5 from the Winnipeg Free Press, 4/4 from the Cinemusical (USA) and was the McNally Robinson Booksellers/ Classic 107FM (Manitoba) album of the month in November 2018.
Hailed by San Francisco's Flute Talk magazine as "...an incredibly dynamic and creative team", the duo arranges several of the works that they perform so as to create a more personal style. In 2015 the duo had the chance to travel to Buenos Aires which saw them work with guitarist Victor Villadangos and tango-flutist Paulina Fain to perfect arrangements of Piazzolla's pieces "Oblivion" and "Escualo". To further the uniqueness of their programs, they commissioned Canadian composer Roddy Ellias to create a new work based on Cuban jazz. The piece, "Havana Street Parade" premiered at Concordia University in October 2013. Through Prairie Debut and the SOCAN the duo has also been able to commission a new work from composer, Carmen Braden. The piece entitled, "The Culture of Isolation aka No Rehearsal", is based on the isolation of living in the boreal forests of Canada and also reflects the shared feeling of isolation during the early days of the Covid-19 confinement. The piece is set to premier virtually in November 2020 and will be the centre piece of a new program based on the Taiga forest. In addition to their genre pushing programs the duo has created a recital program for larger concert halls that includes the use of décor and stage lights which highlights the duo's search for ways to push the definition of the classical recital.
What the critics are saying!
"...What is particularly striking from the very beginning is the wide variety achieved with respect to style, mood and tempo within a thoughtfully chosen program...."
"....Infectious rhythms and superb playing by both performers...."
"...crisply executed syncopated rhythms..."
"...a sweet treat for listeners who like their music hot!"
"**** 1/2"
"...The virtuoso mastery of the instruments locked together in an interminable dance of music, the notes of which seem to leap off the page and dally in the rarefied atmosphere of the listening room, or dance and gambol in a mad rush of excitement..."
"...The duo plays the music unwrapping each statuesque melody as if revealing some delightful mystery for the listener to grasp with their ears with great expectation...."
"Lyrical and sophisticated at the same time as it is simple and lively, Duo Beija-Flor's music surprises and energizes and its hint of mischief may well put a bounce in your day" -Richard Dagenais, Montreal Morning News, Global TV
"A nice blend between world and classical music...a truly amicable duo!" - Françoise Davoine, Espace Musique, Radio-Canada
"I love the contrasts and their great rhythmical energy. They are never "static". A well blended ensemble, un véritable duo quoi!" -Guy Vanasse, Former General Director at the Centre Pierre-Péladeau, University of Quebec at Montreal | commoncrawl |
10th August 2020 – 14th August 2020
Hello to all my Grade Prep students from Cambridge Primary School and whoever else might be reading this post.
This is week 5 of Term 3 2020 and all my Prep students are remote learning at home!
We are going to be doing a bit of Visual Arts learning around the topic of self portraits!
In week 2 I asked you to draw a self portrait after watching a video.
In week 3 I asked you to draw a monochromatic self portrait after watching another video.
I have made folders on your grade's Class Dojo or Seesaw page for you to upload photos of your self portraits for Week 2 and Week 3. These photos are evidence that you have completed this work.
Here are the instructions for the Prep Specialists Rich Task.
If you have already completed your Specialists Rich Task you can skip this bit. On the audio file you can press the fast forward button.
This Rich Task will require some thinking and some organising. You will need time to complete it. So the Grade Prep Rich Task should be uploaded to your grade's Class Dojo or Seesaw folder or portfolio by the end of WEEK 6!
For this Prep Specialists Rich Task, you will need to create a self portrait using "stuff" from around your house.
Label your facial features in English and Italian.
You also need to create an animal face.
Label the facial features of the animal in Italian and English.
Photograph your self portrait and your animal face using your device.
How will you complete this self portrait and animal face without drawing?
What will you use to create this rich task?
You will be using things that you already have at home.
You have lots of CHOICE with how you create your self portrait and animal face.
Perhaps you will create your self portrait with counters or blocks
or with lego
or with stuff from the kitchen cupboard
or cut pieces of paper
or paper plates
or wool or string
or fabric scraps
or playdoh and pasta
or stuff out of the laundry basket
or you could use some of these things
or all of these things
or something I haven't even listed!
You could even use yourself as part of a huge self portrait like this person!
I am giving you lots and lots and lots of choice
in how you create your rich task
I am NOT telling you to go out and buy new art materials or things to use!
You need to THINK about what you already have at HOME and HOW you can use it.
Now STOP!
Before you start running around your house like a crazy person collecting objects let's think about this.
I do not want you touching any objects that don't belong to you without permission.
I also want you to know and understand that all good artists clean up after themselves.
So, every single thing that you use in your rich task has to be put away properly and correctly after you have finished photographing it.
I cannot wait to see what you create!
Here is a story for you to enjoy. This is 'The skin you live in' by Michael Tyler.
Your VISUAL ARTS TASK FOR WEEK 5 is to write a comment on my blog about the story.
It is easy to write a comment on my blog. Don't forget to use capital letters and full stops.
At the end of this blog post you will find a section titled,
LEAVE A COMMENT (or add a comment if nobody else has written one yet!)
Under that is a large box in which you type your comment. It looks like this. You can't write in this one, Silly. You have to use the box at the bottom of this post.
After you have written your comment there is an anti spam box. The anti spam box is there to prove you are a real person not just a computer bot generating random comments. You need to copy the text from the anti spam box into the other box, just like in the photo below.
Then you type your name into the name box. Don't forget to tell me which grade you are in.
In the next box you type your email address. If you don't have an email address then you can ask someone from your family if you can use their email address.
Click on the little square at the bottom and you will get an email when I write the reply to your comment.
Finally click on the button that says POST COMMENT and you will have successfully written a comment.
Congratulations. You have just written and posted a comment on the Back Art Room Blog!
You have until the end of week 6 to upload your rich task, | commoncrawl |

The Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship Informs and connects thought leaders looking to understand policies that help entrepreneurs start companies, create jobs and strengthen the economy. Sign up to receive our weekly update!
As with any politically loaded term, any attempt at honest discussion of 'regulation' risks getting caught up in a web of assumptions and intellectual shortcuts. One common fallacy is to put government regulation (e.g. patent laws, health care, tax compliance regulations, etc.) on one end of a continuum in which innovation and entrepreneurship are the opposite policy preference. However, judging by the discussion at the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) conference on regulation and innovation, a new approach seems to be emerging in innovation discussions: that the freedom to innovate is not governed by how much or how little regulation innovators face, but how smart it is.
Entrepreneurs, the drivers of the economic recovery, have the most to gain from a smart, sensible regulatory environment because their ventures tend to be smaller in size, and thus often bear a disproportionate cost of regulation. Small firms do not have the large legal and compliance staffs of larger companies, and therefore find compliance to be more difficult and expensive.
Unfortunately, not all federal regulatory statutes currently require the agencies that set rules to satisfy abenefit-cost and a cost-effectiveness test before issuing those rules. As a result, government might be "over-correcting" market failures, hurting entrepreneurship and thereby impairing economic growth. For example, strict regulations currently govern the commercialization of new technologies developed in any of the government's laboratories.
Our leaders should pay particular attention to "market-like" or of market-assisted regulation approaches to regulation (e.g., using tradable pollution permits) wherever possible. Regulation that utilizes market-oriented approaches rather than direct controls is often more cost-effective because it enlists competitive pressures for social purposes, according to an Office of Management and Budget study. Further, the various government levels should work together to establish a clearinghouse of benefit and cost information on rules.
Of course, another critical feature of innovation-friendly regulation is avoiding 'industry capture.' All too often the structure of regulation privilege large, established firms as they seek to raise barriers against up and coming competitors. Arti Rai from Duke University noted the dilemma: "innovation comes disproportionately from small firms, yet they lack the ability to influence agencies."
The regulation of entry is a critical issue. Cross-country evidence shows that regulation plays a critical role in the individual decision to start a new business. The same research showed that even individuals who have business skills and social connections are less likely to engage in new entrepreneurial activity when entry regulation is more stringent.
A regulatory approach that that recognizes the innovating role of small startup enterprises throughout the economy can enhance productivity and competitiveness by increasing innovation and technological diffusion. If there was ever a time to 'get smart' on regulation and innovation, it is certainly now.

In addition, he serves as president of the Public Forum Institute, a non-partisan organization dedicated to fostering dialogue on important policy issues.

From Conception to Birth
Explore and uncover the miraculous story of a new life forming.
Conception begins when a male reproductive cell (sperm cell), successfully fuses with the female reproductive cell (egg cell). After the fusion of the sperm and egg is the fusion of their genetic materials. Cell division follows. The zygote (cell formed by the fusion of the sperm and egg) divides into two, four, eight, and so on.
Changes happen in every stage of embryonic development. At 25 days, the embryo curves into C-shape and the arches that form the face and neck are becoming evident under the enlarging forebrain. The primitive heart is beating. The development of the limb buds are also visible, and the hand plates are noticeable in day 44. At 56 days, the circulatory system is given an emphasis as well as the developed organs of the embryo: the brain, heart, umbilical cord, vertebrae, stomach, kidneys, lungs, and liver. At this stage, all the major organs are in place.
The genitalia of a 56 day old fetus inside womb is visible. Though the indifferent penis is visible, the sex of the baby is not clear from external appearance until week 12. At 7 months, it is noticeable that the fetus is in fetal position where the legs are drawn up, because of the limited space in the uterus. The arms, legs, and toenails are fully formed. At 9 months, the skull can be seen showing the unconnected bony plates called fontanels. These fontanels are significant for fetal brain's protection and they allow the head to elongate and mold during childbirth, then return to a rounded shape.
At 9 months, the baby is ready for delivery. The baby in position for birth, the baby then rotates down, pushes out and comes out headfirst. In order to squeeze the baby through the pelvic canal, the mother's bones pop open in the middle. | commoncrawl |
It's no underground secret that Harlem's subways are the ultimate in people-watching (the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, N, R, B and C trains) — and we've got a lot of attractive people traveling in and around our village: to get to model casting calls, fab food spots or hot new startups – Harlem is it. The NYPost braved the summer stickiness of NYC's underground to locate the sexiest subway station in town.
The No. 1 rule of a-track-tion? If you see something, say something!
Why is Harlem #1: Jazz clubs like Minton's and restaurants like Red Rooster attract trendy crowds, including Denzel Washington, Carmelo Anthony, La La Anthony, Sherrie Shepherd, Teyana Taylor, Mick Jagger, Mariah Carey, Bill Clinton, and President Obama.
"We're so diverse; all types of beautiful people," says Babene Olaya (top right), 34, who commutes in from Queens to her job as a bar manager at hip boutique hotel Aloft Harlem. With her flirtatious smile and killer curves, she gets hit on frequently on the train.
"Everybody around here has a unique style. You have live music everywhere," she says. "It's kind of like Times Square, where you dress nice and see a Broadway show. Here, you dress nice and go to a jazz club."

Welcome home.
This is Audio EXP for the 5th of November 2022, and the title of this episode is "Scotland Loves Anime".
[The following is a transcript of Audio EXP: #170]
[Also on Stitcher | Spotify | Apple | Google]
Bandit Camp are in the spotlight this month, as voted for by Patreons.
I haven't told Bandit Camp yet, so I'm running a bit behind, but I'm confident I can get back in touch with Ben. I've their email address.
I also know I can point out that all 340-pages of Wicked Ones, a tabletop RPG in which you play the monsters building a dungeon, are free on DriveThruRPG. You can find that link in the podcast transcript, and a link to that is in the show notes.
There wasn't a podcast last week because I was off at an anime festival here in Edinburgh. The event is Scotland Loves Anime and starts in Glasgow before coming to Edinburgh.
It's a charity event, but Anime Limited, also based in Glasgow, does all the heavy lifting. Anime Limited was recently bought by one of the entertainment arms of Embracer, so congratulations to Andrew Partridge and his team.
I didn't recognise Andrew Partridge when he got on stage at the start of the festival; he's now rocking a beard and long hair. It suits him.
Since I spent that week in a chair, eating junk food, I'm miles behind in work and blogging. This week I've been catching up on my day job, but I'm off to see One Piece Film: Red this weekend, a US and UK cinematic release for which Anime Limited is responsible for in the UK. In other words, I'm still catching up.
There is gaming news and bundles to come, and let's do the December vote for the RPG Publisher Spotlight first but let's talk about Scotland Loves Anime after that, as it's not a regular week.
The candidates for the Spotlight are;
Podcast supporters can vote on Patreon.
Scotland Loves Anime nearly didn't happen. The Edinburgh venue, the home of the International Film Festival, announced it was immediately going into administration just two weeks before Scotland Loves Anime was due to start.
COVID-19 was tough on cinemas, but the Cost of Living crisis, heating bills and the UK's dependence on fossil fuels finally killed the old theatre. It was going to cost an additional £200,000 to heat the building.
This week a campaign was launched to save it, but that wasn't in time to help Scotland Loves Anime. I also believe the charity is still yet to be refunded by the administrators. I can confirm there's a Go Fund Me to try and pay the former staff for the last month of their employment. There's a link to that in the transcript too.
Edinburgh's Cameo cinema stepped in, and it must have been a frantic rush to move everyone over. I know some people cancelled their tickets in the days between the Filmhouse closing and the new venue being confirmed. I can't fault them, but I'm pleased I stuck to my guns, knowing that the worse case would be the money I spent not resulting in me seeing any anime but some of it getting to Filmhouse creditors.
In the end, the handover was seamless. I didn't even need new tickets. To get into the screenings, I just needed to show my digital copy to the stewards at the door and pick a seat.
The weekdays saw old films and some TV episodes curated and shown on the big screen. For most people in the world and me, it was one last chance, perhaps an only chance, to see them on the big screen. The theme was, I think, about the isolation that technology and change can bring. It was dark reasonably often.
Come Friday, we have the new material, and I'm going to start this whirlwind tour with Garden of Remembrance. It's only 20 minutes long, and I suppose you can call it an art project. If you're cruel, you can call it a vanity project, but I liked it.
The worldwide premiere was a good way to help transition from the week's isolation to the weekend, as it's about a woman moving on from loss and grief. It's also got ghostly emoji.
We saw the European premiere of Hula Fulla Dance. Yes, that's an anime about hula dances, and I'd call it one of the festival's surprise hits. If you take everything at face value, and I don't, there's also a supernatural element.
Another strong performer was Her Blue Sky. This is another slice of life, but rather than following a young woman growing up after the loss of her sister, we follow a young woman growing up after the loss of her parents. Our hero is raised by her elder sister.
Her Blue Sky is definitely supernatural; a mystery is precisely what sort of supernatural event our characters are dealing with. There's a ghost, you see, except the spirit is of a person who isn't dead.
I promise this is the podcast's last dead sister anime, but The Tunnel to Summer, The Exit of Goodbyes was also featured in the festival. I think this might be a 2023 hit, but it didn't win either of the festival's two awards. The winner was Goodbye, DonGlees!, which I was lucky enough to see in August.
In The Tunnel to Summer, The Exit of Goodbyes, two teens with homelife trouble find a magic tunnel. Time in the tunnel passes differently from outside, so while they can explore it and change the world by doing so, it costs them outside time. A few minutes in the initial exploration cost a week in outside time.
So, should they explore it to try and rescue a sister who died in the past? And if they do, how much time-warping magic will be needed? What will the cost be?
A slice-of-life drama without any supernatural elements at all is Blue Thermal. I think DonGlees is better, but Blue Thermal was my second favourite new anime of the festival.
It's about a happy young woman who goes to college and almost immediately breaks a very expensive glider in an accident, so she's roped into the gliding club to pay back the damages or help out.
Our hero is a force for positive change and reminds us why friends who emote happy energy are great for our mental health. Blue Thermal's shots of the sky and landscapes are stunning. It's a feel-good feature-length with only some jeopardy.
My favourite was Seven Days War.
It starts with a cute girl running away with a school friend to celebrate her birthday before being taken away to Tokyo by her parents.
The friend, who fancies her, is more than happy to facilitate, but his romantic plans are thwarted when she promptly invites a bunch more friends.
I think it's both a reflection of modern Japanese society and heartwarmingly uplifting.
We also had sci-fi, including one more Neon Genesis Evangelion, which I didn't bother to review as it's now only for die-hard fans, though better than the previous one.
The audience didn't rate Break of Dawn highly, but I liked it. It's a near future with a comet passing overhead and the world looking up. Meanwhile, for anyone looking around, the old is replaced by the new, and we've smart robots as household helpers.
The story is about what happens when an alien spaceship can make contact with one of those homebots.
The last film I'll mention is Mobile Suit Gundam: Cururuz Doan's Island, which didn't do it for me. I'm not a Gundam fan, though I am tempted by the Witch from Mercury, the latest series.
The real-life story of this feature-length is interesting, though, as the anime is based on the 15th episode of the very original series. This episode slipped through the usual quality checks and was awful. Animation and the plot all had serious mistakes, so the director swore it would never be seen again.
As a result, 40 years later, the studio is rebooting the episode as a movie. I still think it makes no sense as it has would-be heroes inexplicably bringing kids to war zones rather than evacuating them.
Let's move on to other geeky news, not anime, which has happened since the last podcast. There are some impressive bundles.
In the last two weeks, I've published two interviews with Chris Birch of Modiphius. In first, we talk about Roll Vs Evil and VIA Modiphius; both are different types of help. In the second, we talk about license deals, ambition and direction.
Two freebies to highlight start with the starter set of the post-apocalyptic steampunk Ecryme. It's French and coming to Kickstarter for an English version. There's also The World Anvil's Dead Air, the eco-post apocalyptic RPG coming to BackerKit. It's Italian.
Geek Native's brief preview of the official Dungeons & Dragon's Young Adventurer's Guide Dragons & Treasures might help with your gift buying.
The look at WizKids' Tarrasque model will only help if you're rich and generous. It's a great-looking monster figure, but it's not cheap!
In bundles, on the Bundle of Holding, there's the made-for-two Cthulhu Confidential and weird west of Weird Frontiers. Both deals were timed for Halloween but are still live today.
There are some biggies on Humble. There's a Pathfinder and Starfinder deal that includes the physical edition of the Beginner's Box. There's the impactful Heavy Metal comics bundle and a range of iconic computer RPGs too.
Lastly, there's Ralph Macchio's Waxing On: The Karate Kid and Me book, which UK readers can win.
So, let's finish up there, happy Stranger Things Day, and I'll see you next week.

Marvel's The Punisher 2: the final trailer in ITALIAN
Frank Castle will return in the next few weeks on Netflix despite previous closures of Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Daredevil, that have made uncertain the future of the Marvel universe on Netflix. Below, the new trailer full published, in view of the imminent debut of The Punisher.
In the original language:
In ITALIAN:
The major villain of this new season of the series dedicated to the Punisher will be John Pilgrim, the actor who plays the role, Josh Stewart, recently spoke in an interview with Collider.
"John Pilgrim is at the beginning a very quiet person," explains the actor, "that is a fundamentalist christian with a sort of repressed anger, buried deeply in his subconscious, and I think that everything starts from there, from a part of his personality that is going to emerge".
The religious precepts of the Pilgrim seem to have an important part in the re-emergence of this its hidden side, even if Stewart has pointed out, as these do not manifest themselves in the form of an attitude from "sect": "There is something about a cult, nothing like that, it is simply a guy that must follow to the letter what he believes, otherwise it could easily slip back into a sort of old oblivion. The largest war that he fights is in his mind, is a constant conflict: this can lead to the continuous contradiction, simply because the reasons that would prompt you to carry out different actions are constantly changing. There is nothing totally good or totally bad, as in Frank, every thing they do is to follow their thoughts and beliefs conflicting".
To CBR instead, Jon Bernthal has had the opportunity to talk about the iconic costume of the character, that we'll finally see in this second season: "To have him or her wear, there must be a reason specific, that goes beyond the simple appearance. As we have seen, previously, he has continually criticized Matt for the costume from Daredevil, reputandola a ridiculous thing. There is a strict reason very sensible, intelligent, and also linked to the psychological field, for which Frank will have the skull this year and it will be analyzed in the course of new episodes".
Below, the official images:
The page Facebook official series has also released a new poster for the 3D interactive:
There's no turning back now.
Published by Marvel's The Punisher on Wednesday, 2nd January 2019
This is the synopsis diffusion:
"The ex-marine-vigilante Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) has lived a quiet life until it is suddenly involved in the attempted murder of a young girl (Giorgia Whigham). While it is attracted by the mystery that surrounds the girl and the information she holds on the back of the Castle is placed a new target when new and old enemies, forcing him to confront himself and, in the end, accepting his fate and a life like "The Punisher".
In the cast of the series are Jon Bernthal (Frank Castle), Ben Barnes (Billy Russo), Amber Rose Revah (Dinah Madani), Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page), Jason R. Moore (Curtis Hoyle), Josh Stewart (John Pilgrim), Floriana Lima (Krista Dumont) and Giorgia Whigham (Amy Bendix).

The Project on Government Oversight (POGO) reports that U.S. DOE Inspector General Kathleen Tighe is conducting an investigation of the U.S. DOE to determine if "officials reporting to Secretary Arne Duncan leaked market-sensitive material to short sellers--including a non-public audit from her own office. Did anyone trade on the confidential information?"
Among other things, Tighe will examine whether confidential DoED information and draft documents, including one produced by her own office, were transferred to Wall Street short-sellers seeking informational advantage in their bets on the future of the $35 billion for-profit education industry. Beyond the propriety of the Education Department's conduct, the phenomenon raises broader questions about the integrity of government decision-making in the face of relentless Wall Street scrutiny.
The investigation will conclude sometime this summer. We will have to wait until then, but I wonder if the report will indicate any inappropriate communications between government officials and representatives of the testing, publishing, and computer testing industries in relation to Common Core initiatives.
Forbes reported on a New York cozy relationship in the educational marketplace. Last November, Robert Murdoch's News Corp hired New York State Chancellor Joel Klein to develop an education division. Two weeks later Murdoch purchased Wireless Generation, a company that develops software and data systems to track student progress. The company currently is a contractor for the New York city school system. Murdoch purchased the company for $360 million saying this of his investment:
Education in the U.S. is a $500 billion sector "waiting desperately to be transformed by big breakthroughs that extend the reach of great teaching," said Murdoch in a statement, and Wireless Generation is at the "forefront" of individualized, tech-based learning.
Murdoch is an astute businessman and clearly sees a business opportunity.
Forbes announced that Wireless Generation just was awarded a $27 million no-bid contract funded by Race to the Top grant money. Forbes comments that this no-bid contract "smacks of cronyism" and ends with:
"ARIS may indeed be a useful tool for educators and administrators, but you have to question the very real conflicts of interest in all of this."
Murdoch added Kirsten Kane and Peter Gorman to the new education division:
- Kristen Kane is the former chief operating officer of the New York City Department of Education, will become the COO of the News Corp unit.
- North Carolina Charlotte-Meckleburg Superintendent Gorman announced his resignation to become Senior VP News Corps new education division this summer. Gorman had a rocky end of school year with vigorous protests by parents over the surprise piloting of tests covered on Grumpy Educators here. | commoncrawl |

It was a sad loss for everyone who enjoyed looking at Malibu Chris last week, but now we press on to the final eight contestants, which means Restaurant Wars are here. Let's take a look at how the cheftestants stack up at the moment:1) Paul Qui - Once again, Paul has found himself with the winning group. Until he really shows some vulnerability, there is simply no reason whatsoever to drop him from this top position. He's established himself as the biggest risk taker as well as the most consistent performer so far. Even better, he elevates the performance of those around him. It was certainly his creative barbecue idea that took his team over the top.2) Edward Lee - Yes, Edward was in the bottom group last week, but he certainly wasn't in the bottom bottom group. The judges still like what he has to contribute, and he was pretty much screwed over by Sarah's heat exhaustion, doing the best he could to keep his team afloat. Sure, he was a little bitchy about the situation, but when you go back and watch the episode a second time, you can see that his read on Sarah was pretty much dead on. He's got the skill, but he can occasionally struggle in team situations. Restaurant Wars also is known for eliminating good contestants.3) Lindsay Autry - Along with Paul, she was one of the winners in last week's challenge. She's been pretty darned quiet for the most part, but she has only been on the bottom during an elimination one time. She is at least doing well enough to elevate herself above other competitors. It's a little concerning that her one win comes thanks to Paul's great idea and execution, but she still played her part well enough.4) Ty-Lör Boring - Ty has had a weird few episodes. He won the elimination round a couple of weeks ago, and last week he won the Quickfire, giving him immunity - which was a great thing to have in his pocket since Sarah was his team member and she disappeared (for legitimate reasons) for awhile. Both Ty and Edward had a monumentally difficult task in comparison to the other contestants. Ty still seems to be a pretty decent talent, but his up and down performances are definitely a concern. | commoncrawl |

Portuguese wildfires rage on
Nearly 3 000 firefighters and soldiers on Tuesday battled dozens of wildfires that continued to rage in parched Portugal as police found the charred body an elderly woman near her rural home, emergency services said.
Eleven fires were raging out of control in the centre and north of the country, but firefighters said Coimbra, the nation's third-largest city, was no longer under threat from flames due to a change in wind direction.
Flames from a large fire surrounded the city of more than 100 000 people located about 200km north-east of Lisbon on Monday, charring at least 10 homes and forcing the evacuation of about 60 people.
"There is no chance that the fire will return to the perimeter of Coimbra," the city's firefighter chief, Antonio Bernardes, told news radio TSF.
The firefighters were backed by nine water-dropping planes and helicopters rushed in from five fellow European Union nations—France, Germany, Italy, Spain and The Netherlands—after Lisbon on Saturday appealed for help.
More than 50 firefighters were expected to arrive in mainland Portugal from the Azores and Madeira archipelagoes to help stretched firefighters battle one the worst outbreaks of wildfires in memory, the civil protection agency said.
Police, meanwhile, found the body of an 88-year-old woman about 150m from her home near the central town of Ourem, apparently the victim of wildfires that have hit the region, local firefighters said.
The death brings to 15 the number of fatalities caused by blazes that have swept through tinder-dry forests since the start of the year. Among the dead are 10 firefighters.
A 40-year-old man taking part in the struggle to beat back the flames near Vila Nova de Poiares in the north was killed on Monday when a fire truck backed over him, police said.
With temperatures set to rise up to 36 degrees Celsius in some parts of the country, the agriculture ministry's Forest Fire Prevention Agency said most of the country faced a high risk of wildfires.
The wildfires come as Portugal struggles with its worst drought since 1945, which has dried up reservoirs and led to water restrictions in some areas.
Speaking late on Monday after a visit to Coimbra, Prime Minister Jose Socrates said the nation faced "the worst risk of fires of the last five years" because of the dry spell, and he praised the work done by firefighters in recent days.
The national weather office forecasts temperatures will start dropping by Wednesday, with a chance of light rain in the fire-ravaged north.
The wildfires have ravaged 134 500ha of land so far this year, more than during all of last year, and destroyed more than 100 houses and nearly 500 farm buildings.
Portugal, one of Western Europe's poorest nations, can make an appeal to benefit from the European Union's Solidarity Fund for natural disasters, an EU Commission spokesperson said on Monday.
France, Portugal and Spain have benefited from the fund in the past in the case of forest fires.—AFP. | commoncrawl |
People who don't know the Holroyds may wonder why they live in such puritan conditions
The couple's culinary arrangements are legendarily spartan
Visitors to the Holroyds' retirement bungalow in Hove are usually struck by the extreme austerity of the furnishings. It will be readily observed, for example, that the carpets are nearly threadbare, the kitchen linoleum is so ancient that feet stick to it in hot weather, and three of the conservatory windowpanes are reinforced with brown paper. As for the sofa on which Mr Holroyd, clad in a much-mended sports jacket and heel-less slippers, occasionally reclines to watch cricket on his tiny portable television set, this is believed most recently to have been recovered in 1972.
A similar frugality attends the Holroyds' culinary arrangements, which are legendarily spartan. A visiting grandchild once reported back to its parents that the bill of fare consisted of a breakfast of milk-free, home-made porridge, a midday meal of luncheon meat and diced cucumber, and a supper of grilled sardines and mashed swede washed down with glasses of water. The last person invited to "have a drink", at Mrs Holroyd's 80th birthday party, found the options to consist of an elderly bottle of Warninks Advocaat and some elderflower cordial.
People who do not know the Holroyds may well wonder why they consent to live – indeed, appear to flourish – in these conditions. Are they impoverished? Does all their money go on spendthrift children? In fact, the explanation is very simple. Born in the late 1930s, they belong to one of the last generations to have been raised during the Second World War, and accepted its privations as a matter of routine. Spam sandwiches, Woolton pies, raspberry jam made of dyed turnip – all were, literally, meat and drink to the infant Holroyds, and conditioned them to a lifestyle whose shackles they have never discarded.
The consequence, 70 years later, is an almost complete detachment from the liberality of our consumer age. None of the Holroyds' children would ever dream of throwing away uneaten food in the aftermath of a Christmas dinner, for their mother would produce a Tupperware box and bear the scraps home for supper. To deplore their inability to enter this modern paradise of second helpings and fresh coats of paint would be a mistake. A world of properly heated houses, decent meals and undarned pullovers would fill them with horror, and nothing, as Mr Holroyd always insists, is quite so spiritually sustaining as self-denial.
