Gifts for gentle growth
Feature by Susannah Felts
At a moment when we could all use a gift that says "Everything is going to be OK," these five books thoughtfully send that message.
Behind the Book by Susannah Felts
Feature by the editors of Susannah Felts
In this strange and difficult year, we've all learned how to seek out and find silver linings. Here's one: At a moment when we could all use a gift that says "Everything is going to be OK," these five books thoughtfully send that message.
Get Out of My Head
Sized perfectly for a stocking or a shoulder bag, Meredith Arthur's Get Out of My Head is like a soothing visit with a therapist who's there to take your call at any time. This one is for the overthinkers, those of us who let our thoughts take us down the wrong rabbit holes. People can experience physical symptoms like headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath and nausea as a result of stress and anxiety. The challenge, which this little book gently helps us meet, is to recognize the signals of a stress-based physical reaction, then deploy specific moves like visualization, breathing techniques and other thought and sensory controls. Maybe lasting calm is more difficult to achieve, but trust me, this book has the right idea. Leah Rosenberg's cheerful illustrations are the perfect accompaniment to this digestible and portable guide.
The Panic Button Book
Taking a different but no less tidy approach to stress, anxiety and typical relational woes, The Panic Button Book is set up as a series of flowcharts in response to questions like "Do you and your partner have different standards when it comes to housework/ambition/money/other?", "Are you dreading an upcoming event?" and "Are your muscles feeling tense?" The questions, which author Tammi Kirkness organizes into categories such as work, socializing, relationships and parenting, pinpoint both difficult feelings and physical concerns while reminding us that there's a shared awkwardness to being human, and we can take some solace in simply acknowledging that commonality. There's also comfort to be found in paging through this book and thinking, nope, that's not my problem right now. When you find a question that rings true to your current concern, the facing page will guide you, step by step, in coping constructively so you can move on.
★ Wintering
There are times in life, however, when you may just have to sit with the struggle. This is what writer Katherine May calls a wintering, "a fallow period in life when you're cut off from the world, feeling rejected, sidelined, blocked from progress, or cast into the role of an outsider." May tells the story of one such period in her life in Wintering, which begins when her husband falls ill with appendicitis, setting off a chain of events that leaves her sidelined from work and her usual industrious lifestyle. In beautiful prose, she shows us that there are benefits to leaning in to these difficult times, even though our culture is set up to resist them. "An occasional sharp wintering would do us good," she writes. "We must stop believing that these times in our life are somehow silly, a failure of nerve, a lack of willpower. . . . We must learn to invite the winter in."
May's story follows the course of the actual winter months, so that it's about both a time of loneliness and the challenge of the chilliest, most barren season. She is a poetic observer of the natural world, and quotable lines abound. "The cold renders everything exquisite," she writes of a morning frost. "Once we stop wishing it were summer, winter can be a glorious season when the world takes on a sparse beauty and even the pavements sparkle. It's a time for reflection and recuperation, for slow replenishment, for putting your house in order." I want to share Wintering with all my friends who experience the winter blues, and keep a copy close at hand for the inevitable winterings of my own life.
One thing that brings me cheer during winter is my collection of happy houseplants, and science backs me up on this. Plant Therapy dives deep into research that shows we could all stand to be more connected to the natural world; indeed, distance from it may be one of the chief causes of our discontent. Bringing some green into our homes is one small but significant step toward nourishing a relationship with nature. Therapist Katie Cooper begins by presenting the environmental, physiological, cognitive and affective benefits of proximity to plants, then shows us how making houseplants part of our indoor lives is a study in positive reciprocity: As we care for them, they will care for us.
Be Water, My Friend
Once you've got your new plant buddies positioned nearby, consider curling up with Be Water, My Friend from Shannon Lee, daughter of Bruce Lee. The martial arts icon is remembered and revered for his philosophy as much as for his physical prowess, and here, readers are given the opportunity to learn from the legend. "The idea of being like water is to attempt to embody the qualities of fluidity and naturalness in one's life," Lee writes. "Water can adjust its shape to any container, it can be soft or strong, it is simply and naturally always itself, and it finds a way to keep moving and flowing." Lee shares stories from her father's life and her own to illuminate how curiosity and a graceful flexibility can serve us all, no matter what life throws our way.

Our fellowship in pediatric infectious diseases is a nationally recognized, fully accredited three-year program that is intended to provide fellows with a broad and deep clinical experience and strong grounding in basic or clinical investigation. The program structure is flexible and is tailored to suit each individual's interests and previous experience. The primary goal is to prepare fellows for a career in academic pediatric infectious diseases, with an emphasis on scholarly activity. Since its inception, the program has achieved a 100% pass rate on the American Board of Pediatrics certification examination in pediatric infectious diseases.
Typically, the first year of training involves an intensive clinical experience, with five to six months on the inpatient consultation service. During the five outpatient months, fellows spend half-days each week in the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Clinics and the Pediatric and Adolescent HIV Clinic, participate in our other specialized clinics, and participate in the activities of the Infection Control and Pharmaceutical, Diagnostics & Therapeutics subcommittees at St. Louis Children's Hospital. All first-year fellows also spend one month that combines antimicrobial stewardship and our state-of-the-art clinical microbiology laboratories. Rotations on the Adult Infectious Diseases (immunocompromised) service at Barnes-Jewish Hospital (Department of Medicine); on the Pediatric Immunology and Rheumatology services; at the Naval Medical Research Unit in Cairo, Egypt; and at established research sites in Malawi and other international locations are also available. During the first year, each fellow is also provided a month of protected time to explore research opportunities throughout the Washington University Medical Center with the goal of identifying a research mentor and scholarly project.
The second and third years of the fellowship are largely protected for scholarly activity, with these fellows typically spending only 4-8 weeks per year on the inpatient consultation service. A variety of research projects are underway in the Division, and fellows can certainly consider research mentors within the Division and throughout the Department of Pediatrics. However, the School of Medicine offers an exceptionally broad and deep research environment, and fellows are also strongly encouraged to consider research mentors in the Department of Molecular Microbiology, the Department of Medicine (e.g., Adult Infectious Diseases), the Department of Pathology and Immunology, and other departments and programs on the medical campus. During the scholarly phase of training, fellows are expected to develop an independent project and to present results annually at the Division research conference. In addition, fellows are encouraged to present their experimental data at a minimum of one regional or national meeting.
The Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases convenes a weekly clinical conference that serves as a forum for discussion of recent inpatient and outpatient cases. The fellow directing the inpatient consultation service is responsible for preparing and presenting selected cases at this conference. Several additional conferences are co-directed with the Division of Adult Infectious Diseases in the Department of Medicine, including weekly Infectious Diseases Grand Rounds; a weekly fellows' core curriculum on topics in clinical infectious diseases; HIV management conferences; and more. Fellows are encouraged to attend these conferences throughout their training.
In addition, the Department of Molecular Microbiology offers a weekly seminar series featuring many prominent visiting speakers in microbial pathogenesis, weekly work-in-progress talks by graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, and a biweekly journal club on microbial pathogenesis. There are also numerous conferences and journal clubs offered through the Department of Pathology and Immunology. Fellows attend these sessions as appropriate during their second and third years of training.
Dual fellowship programs, combining training in infectious diseases with other specialties in pediatrics, can be constructed with the consent of the American Board of Pediatrics. A number of fellows have completed dual specialty training. All ABP-sponsored tracks, including the Accelerated Research Pathway, are available in conjunction with the Pediatric Residency Program at St. Louis Children's Hospital. Washington University was among the first in the country to offer a Pediatric Physician-Scientist Training Program for MD/PhD residency applicants who wish to pursue research-based faculty careers in academic pediatrics.
The Washington University Institute for Public Health and the Institute for Clinical and Translational Sciences offer graduate-level courses and degree programs (e.g., MPH, MSCI) in clinical investigation, epidemiology, biostatistics, and study design.

Black History Month: How a Physical Therapist's work helped WWII soldiers and changed forensic science
February 21, 2017 August 26, 2019 Jackson Therapy Partners Industry News, Physical Therapy
In honor of Black History Month, we're celebrating the significant contributions Bessie Blount Griffin made to the fields of physical therapy, nursing and forensic science.
Driven to succeed
Born in 1914, Blount was born in Virginia, receiving only a sixth-grade education. Undeterred, she self-taught on a range of subjects, completing a GED and earning an acceptance into college for nursing, according to The Star-Ledger. After finishing her studies,
Griffin provided her services as a physical therapist as a member of the Gray Ladies at Base 81, a volunteer organization based in New York City. At this point, the U.S. was in the middle of World War II.
While working in the hospitals in New York City and New Jersey to help physical therapy patients who suffered amputations on the battlefield in World War II, she saw soldiers – men long used to living on their own and moving independently – struggle with their new circumstances. This was especially noticeable in patients with paralysis, who couldn't feed themselves. Blount began experimenting with a device that could ease their suffering.
During WWII, Bessie Blount Griffin, PT, invented a tool to help amputees feed themselves. Who inspires you? #BlackHistoryMonth pic.twitter.com/lZlgjtMAVB
— ATSU (@ATSU_news) February 14, 2017
Helping soldiers heal
Her first device to solve this problem, according to Lemelson-MIT, was a tube that delivered food to a patient's mouth without assistance. By biting on the tube, the soldier could silently ask for the next piece of food. She earned a patent for this device in 1951 and offered to sell it American Veteran's Association. However, the organization declined. Blount was left frustrated, all too aware of the positive impact this device could have on the lives of soldiers.
Blount persevered. According to Lemelson-MIT, Blount continued teaching physical therapy at Bronx Hospital and continued creating inventions to assist her patients. In the process, she struck up a friendship with Theodore Edison, son of Thomas Edison. After several rebukes from the AVA, Blount reached out to foreign governments. The French government expressed interest, leading Blount to donate the rights to her device.
Her second invention was also snubbed by the AVA. This device would help hold cups and bowls in front of an individual's face and let them eat and drink at their own pace. This time, she donated the rights to Belgium to assist their veterans.
Bessie Blount Griffin's study in handwriting launched her career as a forensic scientist.
Preparing a for a second career
It was also during her nursing career that Blount studied how handwriting was affected by differing states of physical health. This jump-started her second career as a forensic scientist in 1969. She would go on to become the first American woman to join the Metropolitan Police in London as part of their Documents division.
According to researcher Sam Maggs, in an interview with NPR, Blount's determination to invent and to join the workforce was powered by a desire to prove that African American women could do more than become cleaners and caretakers. When she died in 2009, Bessie Blount left a legacy behind her. A legacy that extends beyond the African American community and even beyond our nation's borders.

Valparaiso, Chile's cultural capital, has been an important part of this country's history and was declared World Heritage site in 2003. It's a large bay with 45 hills surrounding it, naturally creating a spectacular amphitheater. The sea is the stage and each house, a seat with a panoramic view of the harbor. It's a special place of Chile where its pure essence, people, hidden spots, streets, viewpoints and alleys can be enjoyed. The city always surprises every visitor in an unforgettable way.
First we begin with a tour of Valparaiso, visiting its down-town area (El Plano ) and driving through its outstanding nineteenth century buildings. After that we drive up to the colorful homes in the neighbourhoods clinging to the hills where you will enjoy the real flavor and magic of " La Joya del Pacifico" ( Valparaiso nickname ). Following this visit we continue on to visit the next coastal city called Viña del Mar which is Chile's newest and most popular summer resort city. It is also know around the whole country as "La Ciudad Jardin"( Garden City ) due to its colorful and wonderful flowers which are everywhere all year around. Here we visit the tourist boulevard, Avenue Peru and and pass by the Casino (Chile's oldest and most popular gambling casino) to get a lovely Pacific Ocean view of the city's popular beach.

Commentary / World
Obama should expedite a nation for the Kurds
by Jeffrey Goldberg
WASHINGTON - The Kurdish people, members of the largest stateless nation in the world, have dreamed of independence for 100 years. U.S. President Barack Obama could be the man who delivers them to freedom. The ruinous conflict between Iraq's Shiite and Sunni Arabs means that Iraq as we know it is finished.
The Kurds, historically the victims of Arab domination (the Sunni Arab dictator Saddam Hussein committed terrible acts of genocide against them), will eventually be free. Obama could put the U.S. on the right side of history — and the right side of justice — by expediting their liberation.
To do so, Obama would have to take the sort of risk he has implicitly promised not to take in global affairs. He would have to defy decades of received American foreign-policy wisdom about the way the Middle East should be organized. And he would have to resist the knee-jerk Westphalian urge to preserve the borders of nation-states for the sake of (often chimerical and sometimes amoral) stability.
But if Obama is interested in grappling with the reality of the Middle East; if he is interested in pursuing justice on behalf of oppressed people; and if he is interested in midwifing a nation that will be a strong ally of the U.S. and a vigorous opponent of Islamist terror — then he will reconsider the U.S.' Baghdad-centered policies and align himself with the Kurds' aspirations.
The Kurdish state that will ultimately emerge from the wreckage of Iraq will not encompass the whole of Kurdistan, which includes parts of Turkey, Syria and Iran. But the Kurds, who have been playing a very long game, understand that an independent Kurdistan in part of their ancient homeland — the part now within the borders of Iraq — will satisfy many of their needs as a nation, and serve as a center of Kurdish culture and politics. It could also prove to the three states that control the rest of Kurdistan that the independence of Iraqi Kurdistan will not undermine their own strength and independence.
The official position of the Obama administration is that the Kurds, who make up as much as 20 percent of Iraq's population, should be advancing the cause of Iraqi national reconciliation.
"This is a very critical time for Iraq, and the government formation challenge is the central challenge that we face," U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said last week on a visit to Erbil, the capital of Iraq's Kurdish region. Iraq's leaders must "produce the broad-based, inclusive government that all the Iraqis I have talked to are demanding."
Kerry might be talking to the wrong Iraqis. The Kurdish Iraqis I talk to see this moment as a turning point in the history of their people, when the lie that is Iraq — a country cobbled together by the British and French 100 years ago in way that institutionalized discrimination against the non-Arab Kurds by the majority Arab population — is finally being exposed.
The president of the Kurdistan Regional Government, Massoud Barzani, told Kerry carefully but tellingly that "We are facing a new reality and a new Iraq." (Barzani has become less careful, now telling the BBC of plans to hold a referendum on independence.)
Barham Salih, the former prime minister of the Kurdish region and the former deputy prime minister of Iraq, told me the other day that Iraq may be beyond the point of no return, whether or not the Kurds push this as a cause. "No doubt every Kurd wants an independent Kurdistan, but we have made a deliberate decision to work within a democratic federal Iraq. Undeniably the prospects of this federal Iraq are fading fast."
He also noted a certain irony in recent events. "The Kurdish leadership has proven not to be the agent of division of Iraq. Rather, sectarian strife is dissolving the Iraqi union." Salih, one of Iraq's most visionary leaders, may be a contender for Iraq's presidency, if the country manages to hold itself together in some form. When I asked him what form that may turn out to be, he said, "I think the idea of a centralized Iraq is over. At a minimum, we will witness significant devolution of power."
For two decades, the Kurds have shown themselves to be the most mature and responsible entity in Iraqi politics, which is one reason American officials are panicked by the thought of their permanent departure.
A Kurdish exit will promote instability, the thinking goes. But what the region has now isn't stability. What's there, among other things, is an institutionalized injustice, an injustice at times exacerbated by U.S. policy.
Kurdish independence has had American advocates. Shortly after World War I, President Woodrow Wilson promised the Kurds, along with other ethnic groups left adrift by the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, a large measure of autonomy. But others among the great powers of the day quickly undermined Wilson's vision. In the 1970s, Iraqi Kurds were allied with the shah of Iran, and so became an American friend as well. The U.S. supplied weapons to the Kurds, who were rebelling at the time against rule by Baghdad. But the U.S. betrayed the Kurds by encouraging a secret deal between the Iraqis and the shah. The U.S. betrayed the Kurds again in 1991, after the first Gulf War. U.S. President George H.W. Bush encouraged a rebellion by Kurds and Shiites, but then ignored them, leading to the murder of thousands by Saddam Hussein's regime.
Still, out of this betrayal came the Kurdish safe haven, protected by a U.S.-enforced no-fly zone. This U.S.-created safe haven will be remembered as the nucleus of a future Kurdish nation.
The Kurdish leadership is far from perfect; corruption is a serious problem, and Kurdish parties are incompletely committed to democratic ideals. But the Kurdish autonomous zone is Switzerland compared to the rest of Iraq, and the rest of the neighborhood.
In the 1980s, as the Ba'athist regime was carrying out the large-scale gassing of Iraq's Kurds, Saddam's cousin Ali Hassan al-Majid, who commanded the genocidal campaign, spoke about his plans. Al-Majid, who became known as "Chemical Ali," was captured on tape saying, "I will kill them all with chemical weapons! Who is going to say anything? The international community? F—- them! The international community and those who listen to them."
It is way past time for the international community to listen to the Kurds and help them reach their legitimate national aspirations.

Motown supergroup The Temptations will bring their timeless hits and iconic moves to The Orleans Showroom on Oct. 28-29.
The Temptations hit the music scene in 1960, impressing fans with their harmonic vocals, flashy wardrobe and smooth dance moves. The group signed with Motown Records in 1961 and began releasing chart-topping hits like "The Way You Do the Things You Do," "Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)" and their biggest hit, "My Girl." The Temptations evolved their sound and style as they entered the early 1970s, releasing the hits "Runaway Child, Running Wild," "Cloud Nine" and No. 1 single "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone."
In their nearly sixty-year career, The Temptations have achieved tremendous musical success. With 37 top-10 hits, 15 No. 1 singles, 17 No. 1 albums and tens of millions of albums sold, they have become one of the most successful groups in music history.

Iconic Motown Group The Temptations Bring Timeless Hits to The Orleans Showroom September 19-20
Historic Motown group The Temptations return to The Orleans Showroom on Sept. 19 and 20 with members Otis Williams, Bruce Williamson, Terry Weeks, Ron Tyson and Joe Herndon.
Legendary Motown innovators The Temptations pioneered popular music, selling tens of millions of albums with more than 50 years of smash hits and sold-out performances. An essential component of Berry Gordy's original Motown machine, The Temptations began their musical career in Detroit in the early '60s. In 1964, they scored their first major hit with the Smokey Robinson-penned and produced "The Way You Do the Things You Do." A cavalcade of hits followed, including "My Girl," "It's Growing," "Since I Lost My Baby," "Get Ready," "Ain't Too Proud to Beg," "Beauty Is Only Skin Deep" and "I Wish It Would Rain."
Beyond their extraordinary singing and distinct harmonies, The Temptations became known for their smooth choreography and distinctive look. "The Temptation Walk" became the staple of American style, flair, flash and class.
When the '60s and '70s turned political, The Temptations got serious. They changed their tone, dress and music with such hits as "Runaway Child," "Cloud Nine," "I Can't Get Next To You," "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" and "Psychedelic Shack." The Temptations explosion continued in the '80s with their appearance on "Motown 25" in 1983, and into the '90s with an Emmy Award-winning NBC mini-series that chronicled the group's early days and rise to fame.
To commemorate their 50th anniversary in 2010, The Temptations released the album "Still Here." In 2012, the group performed on "Dancing with the Stars" as part of Motown Week. The group continues to tour the globe, entertaining fans everywhere with their harmonies, flair and unparalleled soul.

Iconic Motown Group The Temptations Return to The Orleans Showroom November 29-30
Motown legends The Temptations return to The Orleans Showroom with their celebrated Motown sound November 29 and 30.
Selling tens of millions of albums with more than 50 years of smash hits and sold-out performances, The Temptations pioneered popular music. An essential component of Barry Gordy's original Motown machine, The Temptations began their musical career in Detroit in the early '60s. In 1964, they scored their first major hit with the Smokey Robinson-penned and produced "The Way You Do the Things You Do." A cavalcade of hits followed, including "My Girl," "It's Growing," "Since I Lost My Baby," "Get Ready," "Ain't Too Proud to Beg," "Beauty Is Only Skin Deep" and "I Wish It Would Rain."
When the '60s and '70s turned political, The Temptations got serious. They changed their tone, dress and music with such hits as "Runaway Child," "Cloud Nine," "I Can't Get Next To You," "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" and "Psychedelic Shack." The Temptations' explosion continued in the '80s with their appearance on "Motown 25" in 1983, and into the '90s with a 1998 Emmy Award-winning NBC mini-series that chronicled the group's early days and rise to fame. In 2012, the group performed on "Dancing with the Stars" as part of Motown Week.
Beyond their extraordinary singing and distinct harmonies, The Temptations became known for their smooth choreography and distinctive look. "The Temptation Walk" became the staple of American style, flair, flash and class. The lineup includes original member Otis Williams, joined by Bruce Williamson, Terry Weeks, Ron Tyson and Joe Herndon.
Showtime is 8 p.m. Tickets are available starting from $34.95, plus tax and convenience fees, and can be purchased at any Boyd Gaming Box Office, by calling 702.365.7075, or visiting www.orleanscasino.com.

Guests will also find more than 2,800 slot and video poker machines. Additionally, The Orleans includes a poker room, keno lounge and race and sports book.

Hypsilophodon ("zub podobný zubům leguána rodu Hypsilophus") byl rod malého, lehce stavěného ptakopánvého dinosaura ze západní Evropy. Žil v době před asi 130 až 125 milióny let, v období spodní křídy. Jeho fosilie byly objeveny v Anglii (Sussex, ostrov Wight), Španělsku (Teruel) a možná i v USA (Jižní Dakota).

Popis
Hypsilophodon dosahoval délky asi 1,8 až 2,5 metru a v nejvyšším bodě hřbetu byl asi 1 metr vysoký. Vážil zhruba kolem 20 kilogramů.

Lehce stavěný hypsilofodon měl malou, poměrně vysokou hlavu s čelistmi zakončenými rohovinovým zobákem, v horní čelisti ještě vybaveným zuby (řezáky), které jsou však primitivním znakem ornitopodů a vyspělejší Iguanodoni je ztratili. Jeho přední končetiny měly pět prstů se zakrnělým malíčkem, přičemž zadní končetiny byly u něho značně dlouhé a silné, vhodné pro rychlý běh. Podobně jako antilopy, žil v menších skupinách a v nebezpečí se zachraňoval útěkem.

Podle vědecké studie z roku 2008 se na základě přítomnosti zpevňujících kosterních elementů dokázali hypsilofodonti pohybovat velmi rychle, zřejmě běhali rychlostí i přes 40 km/h.

Historie
První známé zkameněliny hypsilofodona byly objeveny již roku 1849, správně určeny však byly až později. Formálně byl tento dinosaurus popsán přírodovědcem Thomasem Henrym Huxleym v roce 1870.

V populární kultuře
Hypsilofodon je známý poměrně dlouhou dobu, proto patří mezi často zobrazované malé ornitopody. Objevil se také v populárním románu Jurský park spisovatele Michaela Crichtona z roku 1990 (ve stejnojmenném filmu už se ale neobjevil). Byl v něm zobrazen jako menší, rychle skákající zvíře, vzdáleně podobné například dnešním klokanům. Ve skutečnosti se však tímto způsobem zřejmě nepohyboval.

The well-known and popular Ruda Landman brought us some of her jewellery that she was no longer wearing. She wanted her sapphires and green tourmalines, of great sentimental value, set into something she could wear and enjoy. These lovely earrings were the result – she wears them frequently and with joy!

Accidents & Personal Injuries
Ryan Holloway & Miller Trial Attorneys
Criminal Jury Trial v. Criminal Bench Trial
The Process of a Criminal Jury Trial:
A jury trial is determined by a selected panel of the defendant's peers. During the voir dire phase of the trial, both the defense attorney and prosecutor ask potential jurors questions under oath in order to discern their likelihood of serving as impartial members of the jury. The jury is typically made up of twelve individuals that have been screened through the jury selection process. They must evaluate the evidence offered in the court case, and they must weigh and discuss discrepancies in the presentation of evidence. At the beginning of a trial, the judge provides instructions to the jury about their fact-finding role. The jury's role is to decide whether the prosecution has proved the defendant guilty or not of the charges against him after hearing the evidence and legal arguments. In a death penalty case, the judge is called on to determine the sentencing.
Advantages of a Criminal Jury Trial:
The added formalities in a jury trial can have benefits. For instance, a bench trial does not need jury instructions for obvious reasons. Jury instructions, however, can potentially offer grounds for an appeal later on.
Juries can be more sympathetic
Jury trials can often be favored in cases where the facts are particularly interesting or the defendant is a particularly sympathetic party. Juries are often more easily swayed by appeals to emotion and humanity than judges. If the prosecutor comes off as a bully, this could also lead to the jury even more likely to support you as a defendant.
Multiple Jurors
A defendant doesn't want their fate in the hands of just one individual, like in a bench trial. A jury trial allows for multiple people to deliberate before a verdict is rendered. In some instances, a case could have particular circumstances that a jury would better understand and find a defendant not guilty of a technical violation of the law.
No preconceived perceptions of you from a judge
In a jury trial, you should be in front of an impartial jury, whom has no prior knowledge of you as a defendant. This is a big advantage because if the judge knows your criminal history, as you've been in front of them in the past, you may not think they can put that prior knowledge behind them when ruling on this case.
The Process of a Criminal Bench Trial:
The judge of a bench trial is also provided with a stipulation of facts instead of the presentation of witness testimony and documentary evidence to determine the case facts. He or she will make the rulings, hear the evidence, and decide whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty.
Advantages of a Criminal Bench Trial
Bench trials are often…
less time-consuming than jury trials. A bench trial is usually a quicker way to complete a case. It can be scheduled sooner and does not require a jury selection or jury instructions, both of which make the trial process last much longer.
less complex than a jury trial. If information comes out that puts the defendant in a bad light, even if the information is irrelevant to the charge and the judge instructs the jury not to consider it, jurors might have a tough time setting aside the information. A judge in a bench trial might be more neutral than a jury and better able to focus on only information relevant to the case.
less formal than a jury trial. This can be nice because trials are already stressful enough as is. The defense attorney and prosecuting attorney are sometimes permitted to have discussions and even reach agreements on certain facts relevant to the case in a bench trial.
Disadvantages of a Criminal Bench Trial:
One person decides
At a bench trial, the defense or prosecution only has to convince ONE person of a defendant's guilt or innocence, while at a jury trial, this increases to convincing all 12 jurors.
The judge knows all the evidence
At either a jury or bench trial, the judge decides what evidence will be admitted. Prejudicial, irrelevant, or untrustworthy evidence in excluded, and ideally, the jury never hears it. But at a bench trial, where the judge is the jury, it might be hard for the judge to disregard damaging evidence that is technically inadmissible, no matter how conscientious the judge might be.
The judge will follow the rules
In some cases, the jury will not follow the rules and will acquit on emotional or political grounds instead. A judge is not likely to rebel in this way.
Pressure to convict
Some experts question the neutrality of judges when deciding whether a defendant is guilty. Critics suspect that, because they hold public office and may have to stand for re-election, judges may be tempted to please the public's perceived desire for conviction.

Business fears more red tape and delays as new Brexit rules kick in
Wednesday 5 January 2022, 3:33pm
Watch a report by ITV News Anglia's Claire McGlasson
Companies in the ITV Anglia region say new customs controls are causing delays and could lead to problems with supply.
The UK government brought in the new arrangements for goods imported from the EU on New Year's Day. Businesses say it is costing time and money to meet the regulations, putting extra strain on companies already struggling with the effects of Brexit.
Oranges grown in Spain for sale in UK supermarkets are imported by G's Fresh in Ely. The company is responsible for bringing in 400 lorry-loads of produce a week but the new post-Brexit rules are making the process more difficult.
The forms for each shipment taking as long as four hours to complete.
Kuldip Kular of G's said: "If it goes wrong, that could easily be delayed by one or two days which then has an impact on availability on the shelves here and also on the freshness of the product."

From the start of 2022 the rules involving customs and border checks on goods being imported from the European Union were tightened following a transition period during last year.
The changes mean goods being brought into the country from the UK will need all the paperwork to be complete and have customs clearing before they will be allowed to leave the port.
In 2021, companies were allowed to delay their customs declarations but now they will have to be completed immediately and any extra tariffs due must be paid at the time of importation.
The Suffolk brewer Adnams says it fears higher costs and more red tape.
Adnams' Chief Executive Officer, Andy Wood said: "Supply chains are starting to adjust but there is no doubt that there is much higher cost in the supply chain for businesses such as Adnams.
"We import wine from Europe and from around the world and there is no doubt there is higher cost in the system and there will be more bureaucracy and more paperwork."Turners, in Fordham near Newmarket, is now running six training schools for new lorry drivers.
Managing Director, Paul Day said: "When there's a shortage, then clearly drivers' wages have to go up. To retain the driver force that you have and to try to attract new entrants."
Whether it's paying higher wages or employing new staff to fill out extra paperwork, many businesses are still counting the cost of Britain's decision to leave the European Union.
Brexit: New customs rules explained amid warnings they could lead to shortages

On IPv4 transfer markets: Analyzing reported transfers and inferring transfers in the wild
I. Livadariu, A. Dhamdhere, and A. Elmokashfi, "On IPv4 transfer markets: Analyzing reported transfers and inferring transfers in the wild", Elsevier Computer Communications Journal, vol. 111, pp. 105--119, Oct 2017.

IPv4 Transfer Markets have recently emerged as a mechanism for prolonging the usability of IPv4 address space. They facilitate the trading of IPv4 address space, which constitutes a radical shift transforming IPv4 addresses from a free resource to a commodity. In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of all IPv4 transfers that are published by three regional Internet registries. We analyze the overall evolution of transfer markets, whether they lead to a healthy redistribution of IP addresses, and the interplay between transfers and IPv6 adoption. We find that, to a large extent, IPv4 transfers serve their intended purpose by moving IP blocks from those with excess to those in need - transferred address blocks appear to be routed after the transfer, the utilization of transferred blocks is greater after the transfer date and a high percentage of the transferred space comes from legacy space. We have also proposed a methodology for detecting IPv4 transfers in the wild that tracks changes in origins of IP prefixes in the global routing table. This method yields promising results, yet it produces a large number of false positives due to the noisy nature of routing data. We have investigated the cause of these false positives and verified that they can be reduced to a volume analyzable by a human operator.

The Mihama Cape is a narrow long accumulation of sand and gravel in the form of a 'spit.' The landform has some resemblance with a long beak of a bird.
Such sand spits are created when the gravel and fine sand washed in by the waves accumulate in the quiet baymouth.
The Suruga Bay that widens outside the Heda port is the deepest bay in Japan. It is one of the most biodiverse water bodies off Japan as well.
The port is also renowned for fishing, the spider crab and deepwater fishes are some of the specialties.
The Suruga Bay Aquarium and Repository are valuable sources for knowing about the ecosystems of the bay.
The coastal Inumaki woods are one of the designated prefectural monuments.
Some of these trees are over 100 years old and form a good buffer from large waves.


While the Virginia Tech Hokies sat at just 5-3 after eight weeks last year, Frank Beamer's squad put it together and won their final five games to finish at 10-3. QB Tyrod Taylor and many of the leaders on offense are back and the Hokies have high hopes in 2010. The running game should be one of the best in the nation, but the defense does have several question marks as youngsters must fill some big shoes in order to keep this unit's production from sliding.
In Frank Beamer's tenure as coach at Virginia Tech, it has generally been all about special teams and defense leading the way. The special teams should still be one of the best, but one would think the offense might have to lead the way this year for the Hokies to contend in the national title race. Beamer will expect his eight new defensive starters to hold their own, and he'll also expect the offense to control the football.
The Virginia Tech Hokies offense should be extremely strong in 2010. With Tyrod Taylor under center and Ryan Williams and Darren Evans splitting time at tailback, they will have two amazing runners in the backfield at all times. Evans went down with an injury last year, but he was sensational two years ago. You could argue that these two form the best running back duo in the country. Taylor has improved his passing ability and decision making each year, so he should be one of the better quarterbacks in the country this year. The wide receiver unit is deep, and these guys will consistently get open for Taylor. The offensive line will be solid again, with three of their five starters returning in 2010. The Hokies offense may be the most talented group Frank Beamer has ever had in Blacksburg. Expect this unit to control the football and put plenty of points on the board.
This is the side of the football that Virginia Tech fans are worried about in 2010. The defense lost eight of its top 13 tacklers from a year ago, and graduation and early entrants to the NFL Draft hit the defensive line particularly hard. Both defensive ends left, and the Hokies will likely struggle to put as much pressure on quarterbacks this year. The linebackers are a solid group, but questions about Barquell Rivers' health are extremely concerning. This team needs Rivers healthy, because he is the clear leader of this defense at this point. The secondary is fast and full of athletes, but some of them are quite raw. The Hokies and coordinator Bud Foster always have a good defense, so I think this group will be solid, but it would be shocking if there isn't some drop off compared to last year's defense.
The defensive line is the biggest question mark on this team. Can they continue to stuff the run the way they have in previous years? Can they put enough pressure on the quarterback to take the heat off their secondary? These are big unknowns heading into the season.
The offense will be very good, but for it to be great they'll need Taylor to continue to develop in the passing game. The Hokies will beat most teams just with their rushing attack, but they'll need balanced attack against the best teams on their schedule.
The oddsmakers aren't quite as high on the Hokies as they were a year ago, largely because of the question marks surrounding the defense. Still, 5dimes has Virginia Tech listed as the eighth favorite to win the BCS Championship at +2200. The Hokies are listed at +175 to win the ACC Coastal Division and +260 to win the ACC Championship overall. Sportsbook.com has set the team total for wins in 2010 at 9.5 games. Currently, 'over' 9.5 wins is listed at -120 and 'under' 9.5 wins is even money.
The 2010 Virginia Tech football schedule gets interesting right from the beginning, as the Hokies will play Boise State in their season opener at Fed Ex Field. After this game, the 2010 Virginia Tech football schedule gets much easier until the stretch run in the ACC Conference. Keep a close eye on their back-to-back games at North Carolina and at Miami on Nov. 13 and Nov. 20. These will be a couple big tests for this Hokies team before they finish up at home against rival Virginia.
The ACC is not loaded, but it also isn't a weak conference this year. Virginia Tech will have several tough tests on the road, and it's unlikely they'll win all of those games with such a young defense. It will be up to the offense to keep the chains moving, and keep the defense off the field this year. I don't think this team is good enough to win it all, but I think this could certainly be a Top 5 team at the conclusion of the season.

Seminar on Offshore Energy Development in the Southeast Set for March 24
March 19, 2014 | E-Ching Lee

Posted Wednesday, March 19, 2014
The Center for Climate, Energy, Environment & Economics and the North Carolina Coastal Resources Law, Planning and Policy Center present Marcilynn Burke, Professor at the University of Houston Law Center and former Acting Assistant Secretary for Land and Minerals Management, at 12 noon on March 24 in Room 4004 at the University of North Carolina School of Law.
Burke's talk, "What's New Under the Sun: Offshore Energy Development in the Southeast," will discuss offshore energy policy and how upcoming changes could affect the Southeast. Find a video of Burke's seminar here.
About the speaker:
Marcilynn A. Burke is a tenured professor at the University of Houston Law Center (UHLC) where she teaches courses in property and natural resources law. Her research articles have been published in noted journals, such as the Notre Dame Law Review and the Duke Environmental Law & Policy Forum. Burke also is the Founding and Senior Partner of CeeLife Development, a consulting and coaching firm created to strengthen organizations and individuals with a focus on the fields of environment, energy, and natural resources. As a developmental and motivational speaker with almost 20 years of experience in this field, Burke has provided guidance in academic, corporate, government, and community settings.
From 2009 until 2013, Burke took leave from UHLC to serve at the U.S. Department of the Interior where she began as the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Deputy Director for Programs and Policy. In 2011, President Barack Obama designated her as the Acting Assistant Secretary for Land and Minerals Management (ASLM). As Acting ASLM, she helped develop the policies administered by four federal agencies: the BLM; the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management; the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement; and the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement. These agencies, with over 12,000 employees, endeavor to ensure appropriate management and use of federal lands, waters, and cultural resources, and the regulation of surface coal mining. The geographic scope of these activities encompasses the continental United States and large parts of Alaska, as well as the Outer Continental Shelf.
President Obama nominated Burke in 2012 as his Assistant Secretary-Designate, and the U.S. Senate's Committee on Energy and Natural Resources positively reported on her nomination later that year. While awaiting action by the full U.S. Senate, Burke served as Acting ASLM until January 2013, before resuming her professorship at UHLC.
Burke received her bachelor's degree in International Studies from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. She obtained her law degree from Yale Law School where she was an editor for both the Yale Journal of Law and Feminism and the Yale Journal of International Law.

Belu, Constantin, and Cristiana Manescu. "Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility and Economic Performance." Working Paper, University of Gothenburg, June 2009.
This study develops a new index of socially responsible companies, then demonstrates a positive relationship between membership in the index and return on assets (ROA). The data includes 372 "non-financial large publicly traded companies listed on the main international stock exchanges" (45% European, 30% North American, and 15% Japanese), and covers the 2002-2006 time period. Social ratings are sourced from Sustainable Asset Management (SAM).
Using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), "we proceed to construct CSR indices that account for the differences between the business models of companies, even within the same industry." The DEA approach uses linear weights, and favors areas where companies excel. The resulting weights are assigned in such a way that "each company will be placed in the most favorable position in relation to all other companies in the sample." Separation of strong CSR performers from weak ones is done at the industry level.
In regressions using ROA as the dependent variable, the study provides evidence for a "persistently positive link between strategic CSR and the economic performance of companies." CSR is highly significant in the pooled data (p<0.01) but not in each individual year. Size, leverage, and Price/Book ratio, among others, are included as control variables.

Midwest City Receives ACOG Grant of Nearly $50,000 for New CNG Waste Collection Truck
The city of Midwest City continues to roll out its fleet of alternative fuels with the recent deployment of a new refuse truck powered by compressed natural gas (CNG).
The municipality received a grant from the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG) to offset the expense associated with supplying the tanks and CNG system for the new vehicle. The grant funding is designed to curtail emissions that pollute the ozone.
The total cost of the new refuse truck including the CNG system was $317,563, according to a report published in The Oklahoman on Thursday. The ACOG grant of $49,834 was awarded in January of 2018.
"The city of Midwest City appreciates ACOG's support of our ongoing efforts to improve air quality in our own community as well as the central Oklahoma region," said Paul Streets, Public Works Director for the city of Midwest City.
The city of Midwest City's Fleet Services Department has received many accolades over the past few years. The department was the recipient of the 2015 Zach D. Taylor, Jr. Clean Cities Vision Award from the Central Oklahoma Clean Cities Coalition, a group partnership with the Oklahoma Department of Commerce, the Oklahoma State Energy Office and the U.S. Department of Energy. The award is named for ACOG's late executive director, Zach D. Taylor, Jr.
The city's Fleet Services Department manages 1,400 pieces of fueled equipment, The fleet is powered by one of the most diverse fuel portfolios in Oklahoma. The city built new infrastructure in 2012 for bio-diesel and ethanol fueling capabilities. It has converted several waste collection trucks and plans to add more CNG vehicles to the fleet. The department is also the first governmental automotive repair facility in Oklahoma to earn the Blue Seal of Excellence recognition from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence.
The city of Norman, the University of Oklahoma and Cleveland County Rapid Transit also received funding for public-sector fleet alternative fuel vehicles and fueling infrastructure projects.

Q: Changing location of a wordpress plugin inside the page I've added the Like Button plugin to my wordpress page and it adds a like/dislike button at the bottom of my wordpress post.
I'd like to change the position where the buttons are shown (to below my post's title), but I can't find where the function that draws the buttons is being called.
Any way I can change that by editing one of the php files?
Thank you.

A: You'll need to search plugin's source code for the the_content hook and remove it like this:
remove_filter('the_content', 'same_function_name', 10)

Be sure that the last number is the same as the add_filter function, otherwise it won't work.
Then you can create your own function like this:
<?php
function my_new_button_position( $title ) {
    $button_html = call_plugin_function_that_was_in_the_content_hook();
    $title .= $button_html;
    return $title;
}
add_filter( 'the_title', 'new_button_position' );
?>

The call_plugin_function_that_was_in_the_content_hook() is the function that was called in the content hook.


Months of disruption to the German car industry from new emissions tests barely dented annual sales figures in 2018, official data showed, although diesel vehicles' popularity ebbed further.
A total of 3.44 million new cars were registered on the roads last year, the KBA transport authority said, 0.2 per cent lower than in 2017.
The annual figure smooths out wide variations in monthly deliveries.
Carmakers rushed as many vehicles out of factory doors as possible in the months before the new Europe-wide emissions tests known as WLTP came into force in September.
That month saw registrations tumble before a rebound in the final quarter, although at 237,000 December's figure was still down 6.7 per cent year-on-year.
The tougher Europe-wide emissions tests are one of the political responses to Volkswagen's 'dieselgate' emissions cheating scandal.
Mammoth carmaker Volkswagen admitted in 2015 that it manipulated 11 million diesel-fueled cars worldwide to appear less polluting in the lab than on the road.
The hangover for diesel has been harsh, with just 32.3 per cent of vehicles sold in Germany last year powered by the fuel - compared with 48 per cent in 2015 and 38.8 per cent in 2017.
Drivers have been scared off by the prospect of bans for diesel motors from parts of heavily polluted city centres like Frankfurt and Stuttgart, although the latest, cleanest models are set to be spared.
The year was a mixed one for German manufacturers, with Volkswagen and BMW inching up domestic sales of their own-brand cars by 1.5 per cent and 1.2 per cent.
Meanwhile Mercedes-Benz sold 2.2 per cent fewer cars and Opel's sales shrank 6.5 per cent.
Brighter news for BMW came from subsidiary Mini, which grew 8.1 per cent, and for Daimler from the Smart brand, which added 11.9 per cent - although both account for a fraction of their parent groups' sales.

In the foreground to the right is the so-called tomb of the early Republican heroes, the Horatii and Curiatii, located on the Via Appia Nuova southeast of Albano, on the road to Ariccia. Opposite is a colossal female figure, probably based on a statue at the Villa Medici, later restored to represent the goddess Roma. The villa of Augustus's courtier, Maecenas, dominates the middle distance.

Wright described the composition in his own collection as having 'an upright dignified senatorial figure, which forms the centre of the beautiful pyramidal group in this picture' and refers to a 'majestic ruin on the right' and to a 'piping shepherdess' and a 'distant waterfall'. The picture, he says, was nearly five feet long and was inscribed in large characters in one corner: R.W. Roma, 1764 [sic].

The picture is not mentioned in Brettingham's will (2 December 1802) so if the reference to Mrs Montagu is correct he must have parted with it earlier. Wright seems to have brought it from Woodburn, who had obtained it either from Brettingham himself or 'Mr Brickdale'.

Jun.15 (GMM) Felipe Nasr has played down suggestions he will definitely leave Sauber at the end of the season.
As the Swiss team flounders beneath obvious financial strain, and Nasr's relationship with teammate Marcus Ericsson hits rock bottom, recent reports suggested the Brazilian intends to take his sponsor Banco do Brazil elsewhere for 2017.
But Nasr has now told Brazil's UOL Esporte that he does not rule out staying at Sauber.
"My first choice is still here (Sauber), of course," said the 23-year-old. "It is the team with which I have a contract until the end of the year.
"I have to put my options on the table and see what is possible, but I cannot rule out Sauber," Nasr added.
Nonetheless, rumours persist not only that Nasr's relationship with Ericsson is over following their crash and team orders controversy in Monaco, but that there is also strain between him and team boss Monisha Kaltenborn.
Nasr admitted he has "more than one option" for 2017.

Q: REGEXMATCH and MATCH don't work when a cell contains a number I am trying to use formulas to find a row in my google spreadsheet document, however I have got a weird problem.
I am not able to find values when a cell contains a number (without any other characters).
Consider the following case
I have got two values
A1 - 32323232323
A2 - 323-23232-323

When I use the following formula
=FILTER(A:E,REGEXMATCH(B:B,"323-23232-323"))

It works fine, it successfully finds A2 value, however when I try to use the following formula
=FILTER(A:E,REGEXMATCH(B:B,"32323232323"))

It doesn't match any row, and I also tried the following formula
ADDRESS(MATCH("32323232323",B:B,0),1)

It doesn't work either, it only works when I remove quotes like that
ADDRESS(MATCH(32323232323,B:B,0),1)

But this doesn't work with REGEXMATCH.
Is there any way I can match numbers using a regex expression (exact number, without wildcards) ?
Thanks

Sustainable development remains a pressing priority for the Lake Naivasha Ramsar site, as a matter both of long-term protection of the lake ecosystem and of the economic and social progress that depends upon it. This must be addressed at catchment-scale to protect the `ecosystem services' that constitute the region's primary resources. Sustainability principles highlight energy, fertilisers, pesticides and other aspects of chemical use, plastics, erosion and sedimentation, wildlife, water and socio-economic issues as central to sustainable development strategy, influenced by both intensive and subsistence farms across the catchment. Market forces and long-term self-interest provide compelling arguments for sustainable development, the delivery of which will depend upon education and the spreading of good practice, perhaps backed up by stewardship schemes. Alternatively, the adverse consequences of continued unsustainable practice are highly significant for the region.

Prince William's Shocking list of ex-girlfriends before Kate Middleton
By Vishnu Kaimal
May 25, 2019 15:05 +08
Kate Middleton and Prince William Reuters
Kate Middleton and Prince William have been married for over a decade, and the pair are still couple goals. Prince William chose Kate Middleton as his Princess, but it seems that there were quite a few ladies before Kate that vied for the Prince's attention.
Reportedly a surprising list of his alleged exes includes a former university friend, an aspiring writer, a one-time contestant on The Voice and an actress. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been apparently courting since 2003. The new list was released by the London Evening Standard and shows off some of the ladies William has been romantically involved with. We have to say that the list includes quite a few impressive names.
First on the list is Davina Duckworth-Chad, who the Prince was spotted with briefly before leaving university late in the 1990s. Davina may have been Prince William's first love even, though that might be exaggerating the truth. Reports claim the pair are still friends and that they are actually related because Davina's mother was a second cousin of Princess Diana.
Prince William apparently dated wannabe author Olivia Hunt as well, they knew each other again from their time together at St Andrew's. Prince William found his partner in Kate Middleton but he did go through a few ladies before he did. Rose Farquhar was one such lady, she appeared on The Voice UK in 2016. But before that, she was apparently childhood friends with Prince William and it's rumoured they saw each other while attending college.
Reportedly Carly Massy-Birch and Actress Isabella Calthorpe round out the list. But after nearly ten years in a relationship, Kate Middleton and Prince William seem stronger than ever and still very much in love.
