Robert Stokes Sr.
Baseball is considered America's favorite pastime. It's always drawn fans to the ballpark for food, beer and fun. It's no different for fans going to Miller Park, especially since the Milwaukee Brewers' latest winning streak has revamped Milwaukee's love for baseball and the team. However, most of the fans filling the seats in Major League Baseball, like the players, are predominantly white.
Brewers Go West With National League Championship Series Tied
The Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers resume their battle for baseball's National League Championship Monday night at Dodger Stadium. They'll do so with the best-of-seven championship series tied at one game apiece, following the Dodgers 4-3 victory Saturday night at Miller Park.
The Brewers took a 3-0 lead in the contest, but the Dodgers scored two runs in both the seventh and eighth innings for the win.
The Brewers loss broke the team's 12-game winning streak, which included Friday's night's series opener that Milwaukee won 6-5.
It's Game 7 Saturday Night For The Brewers & Dodgers
The Milwaukee Brewers will take on the Los Angeles Dodgers at Miller Park Saturday night, with a trip to the World Series at stake.
The Brewers defeated the Dodgers Friday night, 7-2, to tie the best-of-seven National League Championship Series at three games apiece.
Milwaukee hadn't scored many runs in the previous few contests. But Friday night, the Brewers broke through for four runs in the first inning to wipe out the Dodgers' 1-0 lead. Milwaukee added single runs in the second, seventh and eighth innings.

Introducing nbn™ local, a Community-First Initiative
Now available: More broadband for the bush
Making Groote things happen
Out and about at the Australian National Field Day
By: Lynette Keep | The nbn™ project | Published on 11 December 2017
Carrying the load of rural Australia is made easier with help from the nbn™ access network, as nbn™ local representative, Lynette Keep, recently discovered during the Australian National Field Day in Orange.
Transport and communications have common ground; they bring people together around the nation. And when the two work together, they can change people's lives, both economically and socially.
Anne Bray, along with her husband Mark, operates M&A Bray Transport, a haulage business based in Eugowra, 341 kilometres west of Sydney. It's that distance that drives their transport company with daily runs to the state's capital carrying everything and anything that comes under the banner of general freight.
Since connecting to the nbn™ Sky Muster™ satellite service, business has grown with at least five sub-contractors needed to meet demand.
Anne says it's changed the way they do business.
"We basically had to go to satellite because we were seven kilometres out of town and we had no choice," Anne says.
"We wondered what was going to happen with [our service over] nbn – we'd heard all these negatives – but no negatives here. All positives, truly." *
Anne gives her service a big thumbs up. "We can actually have internet service with our sub-contractors."
One of those sub-contractors is Claire Duff. Claire and her family live 22 kilometres away in Gooloogong.
Like most other towns in the Cowra Shire, Gooloogong residents are serviced by nbn's Fixed Wireless technology.
Before connecting to nbn via the Fixed Wireless technology, Claire said business was restricted to land lines, fax or person-to-person. Even her mobile phone service was unreliable.
"You'd have to go onto the veranda, and that was it. There was no service; there is no service in our town so having nbn helps you," Claire said.
"We've got a small business and being able to do everything – you can connect to your mobile, have it there and talk to your customers – it's great.
"I can get service anywhere in my house. I've got my wireless and I can go to my bedroom, I can lie down, I can use the lounge room, I can go outside..." *
Claire says having a service over the nbn™ access network and not having to use dial up has made doing business more reliable. "It's quick and easy, and if somebody needs something, it's very efficient." *
Claire and Anne were among the hundred or so visitors who stopped by NBN Co's stand at the recent Australian National Field Day in Orange.
The Australian National Field Day
Attracting more than 20,000 visitors over three days, NBN Co was one of 500 exhibitors at this year's event.
Despite the site dominated by livestock, equipment, agricultural products and services, it's not purely an agricultural show. Events like this are changing, and what becomes clear as you walk around the grounds, is that technology and communication play a major role in the lives of people living and working on the land.
The field day was held at Borenore, 15 kilometres west of Orange and, out here, innovation and ideas are as abundant as the sheep and crops.
At our stand, the discussion was dominated by the use and opportunities afforded by satellite and fixed wireless technologies.
nbn's Executive General Manager Network Enablement, NE Business Operations, Wade Campbell demonstrated just how useful the nbn™ Sky Muster™ satellite service is as he dialled into a myVMR (virtual meeting room) session. Wade split his time between his regular work commitments, and assisting nbn delivery partners who were kept busy with a steady stream of visitors asking questions about services and connectivity.

In one of the main pavilions on site, respected veterinarian Dr John Kohnke addressed groups of horse enthusiasts about healthcare practices. While he was singing the praises of 'Kohnke's Own', his equine nutritional supplement and horse care products business, his wife Kaye was singing the praises of their services over the nbn™ access network.
"We've had nbn for about a year now and we've had an excellent experience with it. It's fast, the internet is fast, we've never had any trouble with it," Kaye said.*
"We have two websites. We have a website in Australia and we also have a website overseas in the UK through a service in Australia, and it works brilliantly. We have expanded the business in the past year with [our service over] nbn, so we are very happy with it. nbn has changed the way we do business." *
* nbn is very happy with Claire, Anne and Kaye's experience with the nbn™ broadband access network. Of course, end user experiences may vary. Your experience including the speeds actually achieved over the nbn™ access network depends on the technology over which services are delivered to your premises and some factors outside our control like your equipment quality, software, broadband plans, signal reception and how your service provider designs its network. Satellite end users may experience latency.

This Demonstration shows a connection [1, 2] between the Thue–Morse (Prouhet–Thue–Morse) sequence and the infinitely differentiable or atomic functions. By definition, an atomic function is a finite solution of a functional differential equation (FDE) of advanced type, such as , where and is a linear differential operator with constant coefficients. The simplest example of such an FDE is , with . Its solution is called the (or ) function with support .
This function was found independently by Vladimir L. Rvachev, Vladimir A. Rvachev, and Wolfgang Hilberg in 1971. That was the beginning of research into the theory of atomic functions theory. Later, Wolfgang Hilberg found an extremely bizarre connection between the function and the Thue–Morse sequence [4–6], which allows the calculation of the function (red curve in the plot) by iterations of the substitution system that generates the Thue–Morse sequence (filled rectangular pulses in the plot). Such a connection helps in the study of both atomic function theory (a branch of functions) and Thue–Morse-like sequences. It takes advantage of numerical methods, digital signal processing, and many other applications of atomic functions and Thue–Morse sequences .

Denethor was sure the City had been built just for him as he raced along the curving road. By the time the almost six year old had reached the Fourth Level, he was again grateful, for the hundredth time, that there were no steps leading to the Citadel. His little legs were already tired; steps would be much worse, he decided. Perhaps, if he asked plainly, his father would give him a pony. It would make his life so much simpler. He wanted to explore everything in and out of the City, but he had decided a long time ago, at least a week ago, that his legs were too short!
As he ran, he held his treasure tightly in both hands, holding it against his chest for fear of losing it. It squirmed and squiggled and he was forever stopping to make sure he was not hurting it in his headlong rush. Would not his father be pleased to see what he had captured! He had pretended, in his mind's eye, that he had surprised a band of Orcs by the stream. They had fled when they saw his terrible face. He had tried to look just like his father - the time when he had 'accidentally' run away.
He had missed nuncheon - the first time ever. He had forgotten the time in the midst of a game with some of the soldiers' children on the Sixth Level. When he did not return, his nurse had gone to his father in fear. He could hear his father's roar from the Seventh Level. He knew he was in trouble; he ran and hid in one of the empty horse's stalls. After a few moments, he knew it was wrong to hide. He did not want to leave the quiet refuge, but he knew he must face his father, after all - was he not a soldier in the Steward's Army? Is that not what his father called him - his little soldier? In the depths of his heart, he knew soldiers did not hide.
He stood up brushing the straw from his clothes and strode purposefully towards the stable doors. He shrank back as a great shadow blocked the door, the sunlight, the world. It was his father; he could tell it in the stance. Ecthelion strode forward, grabbed him by the collar, and marched him out the door. Denethor took a sideways glance up at him, but the look on his father's face was terrible to behold. He did not quite understand. But he would never forget that look.
Today, he had tried to look the same way at the hoard of Orcs. One of the Orcs had slipped and fallen; Denethor quickly seized him and marched him off to his father.
"Nay!" he screamed. The treasure, his Orc, had escaped and was hopping wildly away. A cart passed Denethor on its way to one of the lower levels. The driver did not see, could not see, the little creature that ran in his path. It died quickly. Denethor stood as still as a statue. He had failed to protect his prisoner. He had lost his wondrous treasure. The cart turned a corner; the driver unaware of the tragedy he had caused.
Denethor's eyes filled with tears. His shoulders shook uncontrollably as he sobbed his sorrow. Before he knew it, he was standing before the door of the Great Hall - not sure how or when he had arrived there. One of the guards bent low, put his hand on Denethor's shoulder, and gently asked him what the matter was. The lad could not speak - by now he was near hysterics, so the soldier picked him up and entered the Hall. He could not leave the little one in such despair, though he knew that he should not abandon his post. 'One duty must sometimes be put aside for another.' He also knew Ecthelion was meeting with Turgon on matters of state. 'Well,' he thought, 'it cannot be helped. This little one needs his father's comfort.' The guard, like all of Gondor, had worshipped the ground Lady Rían had walked upon. Her son, this little one, rarely cried and the guard, concerned, could not leave the boy in pain unhelped.
"What has happened?" Ecthelion ran forward as soon as he saw the guard approaching with his son in the man's arms.
"I am not sure, my Lord," the guard said, "but he does not appear to be hurt."
Ecthelion took his son in his arms, excused himself to Turgon, walked quickly to a side chamber, and sat on one of the chairs, hauling Denethor into his lap. He kissed the child on his forehead and wiped the tears from the chubby little cheeks. Denethor would not calm and the racking sobs tore at Ecthelion's heart. The guard brought water, said he would fetch Denethor's nurse, and left them. Ecthelion urged his son to drink and finally Denethor did. Suddenly, the boy threw his arms around his father's neck and sobbed again. Ecthelion gently detached the child's arms and lifted the little one's chin.
"My son, what has happened?"
"I found this...this... " Sobs stopped his words. He tried again, "I found this wonderful thing. It was almost the size of a Mûmak, I am sure!" He paused for another moment to catch his breath and Ecthelion laughed to himself. The lad had never seen a Mûmak and the thought of him carrying one in his little hands almost made Ecthelion laugh out loud, but he checked the impulse as he looked at the tear-stained face. The child was too serious to even try to lighten the moment.
Denethor continued on with his tale while Ecthelion listened intently. When Denethor reached the part about the cart, the tears and sobs increased and the boy could no longer speak. Ecthelion hugged his son tightly, concern and relief fighting for dominance. He offered Denethor a little more water, at a loss for words to help ease his son's grief. The face of Rían flashed before him and, for the thousandth time, he wished that she were here beside him. He missed her terribly; not a day went by that he did not think of her. Suddenly, he knew what to say.
"Denethor, listen to me. That was such a special and wondrous bullfrog… Orc that you found. I would have dearly loved to have seen it. I am so very proud that you were able to capture it on your own, being as big as you described it. Your mother must have been proud, too. But my son, she probably knew it could not live inside our City, and so she took it to be with her. It is a special present for her from you. I am sure she is enjoying it thoroughly." As he spoke, Ecthelion felt that what he said was most obtuse and wondered why on Middle-earth he thought this would comfort the lad, but to his surprise, Denethor's eyes widened. He wiped his nose on his sleeve and a small smile crept into his eyes.
"Father, do you really think mother has it? But, father, am not I special enough for mother to take, too?" The question almost broke Ecthelion's heart. Denethor had only lain in Rían's arms for a short time. Did he have some memory of her?
"Yes, my son," he said, "I am sure your treasure is with your mother. And yes, you are very special, my son, so special that your mother wants you to stay with me for a while. She knows I need you, my son, that Gondor needs you."
'Take those words back!' his heart screamed. Why had he said that last part? It was not necessary; the boy did not need to hear that. Mayhap it was Ecthelion himself who needed to hear it. He shook his head in dismay and saw that Denethor misinterpreted the gesture. He smiled, hugged the lad and kissed his small forehead again. The nurse had arrived some moments before and stood by patiently. Now, Ecthelion lifted his son off his lap and placed the little hand in her hand.
"Please take my son to his room, wash him and give him some light food. I will be up shortly to bed him."
"Denethor, go with your nurse. I will come shortly and perhaps you can draw me a picture of this great beast. We can hang it on your bedroom wall and we will remember the day you captured an animal bigger than a Mûmak."
Denethor hugged him around the neck till his breath was almost stopped, and then quickly left in his nurse's care.
Ecthelion sat back with a sigh. The boy was almost six; a special ceremony had been planned for his sixth birth day, but now Ecthelion wondered. He thought again of the concern that had chilled his heart during Denethor's story. The child was not maturing fast enough for Gondor's weal. Ecthelion had hoped to begin his son's training this year, but perhaps six was too young. Now, the chill came back, even stronger as he thought of the weakness of Gondor. Something was wrong. He felt it in the depths of his being. Turgon did not seem to sense it. His father did not seem to see any need for furthering the defenses of Gondor. All had been quiet for many years. Yet, there ws a nagging feeling that Ecthelion could not put words to. No matter what his father thought, he knew Gondor must now prepare for this evil that weighed so heavily upon his heart. He must keep Gondor safe until the return of the king. And he would begin with his own son. That the was the crux of the matter, the cause for his concern. For Denethor was weak, the tears today showed it. If the Steward would do naught, then Ecthelion would have to do something. He would start with his son.

Flick seeking Kimmich replacement for Bayern half century
BERLIN (AFP) – Hansi Flick needs to settle on a replacement for Bayern Munich's injured midfield dynamo Joshua Kimmich ahead of his 50th game as head coach tonight (10.30pm Brunei time).
The 25-year-old Kimmich is recovering from knee surgery after limping off in the 3-2 win at Dortmund a fortnight ago which kept Bayern top of the Bundesliga.
Bayern boss Flick was "relieved" that Kimmich should be able to return in January, but in the meantime must find a midfield replacement for tonight's match at Werder Bremen. Veteran Javi Martinez, 32, is the prime candidate as Corentin Tolisso returned from France duty carrying a knock.
Having taken over when Niko Kovac was sacked last November, Flick steered Bayern to the Champions League title last season as part of the treble.
The 55-year-old has the best record of any Bayern coach going into his 50th match in all competitions. Under Flick, Bayern have won five titles by also lifting the Bundesliga, German Cup, UEFA Super Cup and German Super Cup as well as the Champions League.
They can add a sixth title in February at the FIFA Club World Cup in Doha. His record of 45 wins, one draw and three defeats puts Flick ahead of former top Bayern coaches Pep Guardiola and Jupp Heynckes, who steered them to the 2013 treble.
Mid-table Bremen are unbeaten in their last six league games since losing to Hertha Berlin on the opening day of the season, but Bayern have won their last 19 league games against Bremen dating back to 2010. Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski has scored 19 times against Bremen and three more would see him reach the landmark of 250 Bundesliga goals.

Having climbed to second with a 3-0 win over Freiburg a fortnight ago, RB Leipzig are chasing a first win at Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday. In their four seasons in Germany's top flight, Leipzig have never won at Frankfurt, a statistic the visitor's coach Julian Nagelsmann wants to fix.
"Leipzig have never played well there. We're missing a win. It's time to change that," Nagelsmann said on Thursday.
He praised the performance of Leipzig's attacking midfielder Dani Olmo who was "the best player on the pitch" in Spain's 6-0 trashing of Germany on Tuesday. Bundesliga history could be made at Hertha Berlin early tomorrow (3.30am Brunei time) if Moukoko, who turns 16 yesterday, makes his league debut for Borussia Dortmund. The teen has scored a mind-blowing 47 goals in 25 matches for Dortmund U19s over two seasons and has been training with the first team.
Dortmund have hinted he might play at Berlin's Olympic Stadium and therefore become the youngest player in the league's history.
Hertha coach Bruno Labbadia said Moukoko's goal-scoring feats in German youth football proves he is good enough to potentially make his senior bow. "He knows where the goal is, so his age is absolutely irrelevant," Labbadia said on Thursday. "Whether you are 16 or 35 – if you can score goals, then there is a place for you."

Sixty miles to the southeast of Kansas City, nestled among the wooded, rolling hills of west-central Missouri, and 10 miles east of Warrensburg, is the bustling community of Whiteman Air Force Base. Today Whiteman is the home of the 509th Bomb Wing, which operates and maintains the Air Force's premier weapons system, the B-2 Stealth Bomber.
Base History
Sedalia Army Air Field
Whiteman's proud heritage dates to 1942 when U.S. Army Air Corp officials selected the site of the present day base to be the home of Sedalia Army Air Field (Sedalia is a neighboring community, 20 miles east of the base) and a training base for WACO glider pilots.
The pilots of one unit trained at the base, the 314 Troop Carrier Group, participated in the invasion of Sicily in July, 1943 and the D-Day invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944.
Following the war, the airfield remained in service as an operational location for Army Air Corp C-46 and C-47 transports. In December 1947, the base was inactivated but with the birth of the U.S. Air Force as a separate, independent service, and subsequent formation of the Strategic Air Command (SAC), the site of the former airfield was considered for other missions. For example, in the late 1940's it was considered as a possible site for the "West Point of Air," the U.S. Air Force Academy.
351 Strategic Missile Wing
The story of the 351 Strategic Missile Wing at Whiteman began in April 1961 when test borings made in the area around the base determined the geological make-up would support a land-based ICBM system. Three months later the DOD announced plans to base Wing IV of the Minuteman ICMB system at Whiteman. Groundbreaking ceremonies with a host of dignitaries in attendance were held in April 1962 at the site now called Oscar-01. The 351st Strategic Missile Wing was activated on February 1, 1963 to oversee construction and act as base operating unit. Amazingly, the construction and equipping of the 150 missile sites and 15 launch control centers took only two years, two months, and two weeks to complete. On June 29, 1964, the 351st went on full operational alert. The 165 individual sites (15 command centers and 150 launch facilities) were scattered throughout Missouri. All the sites had to be separated by at least three nautical miles, and the resulting missile field covered over 10,000 square miles. The Hardened Intersite Cable System, made up of over 1,770 miles of buried cable, connected this web of facilities.
The launch control facility for the 510 Strategic Missile Squadron, Oscar-01, was programmed for an area southeast of the base, but the water table associated with the Lake of the Ozarks made construction there impractical. Instead, the AF placed the facility on Whiteman AFB, the only operational ICMB missile launch control facility actually located on a base anywhere in the world.
The end of the Cold War spelled the end of the 351 SMW and deactivation of the Minuteman system. On January 8, 1993, the wing's first launch control center shut down operations and on May 18, 1995, the last Minuteman missile was removed from its site. However, custody of Oscar-01 passed to the 509 Bomb Wing. It was retained as a museum dedicated to the thousands of men and women who sustained the ICBM force during the Cold War. Public tours can be arranged.
509 Bomb Wing
The 509th Bomb Wing traces its historical roots to its World War II ancestor, the 509th Composite Group, which was formed with one mission in mind: to drop the atomic bomb. The Group made history on August 6, 1945, when the B-29 "Enola Gay" dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. On August 9, 1945, the Group again unleashed the atomic inferno upon Nagasaki. Within the month, the Japanese signed the terms of surrender aboard the USS Missouri.
In late 1945, the Group settled into Roswell Army Air Base, New Mexico; twelve years later the 509th moved to Pease AFB, New Hampshire. SAC decided in 1965 to equip the 509 BW with B-52s and KC-135s. On September 30, 1990, the wing was transferred to Whiteman AFB. On December 17, 1993, the ninetieth anniversary of Orville Wright's historic first successful, controlled, heavier than air powered flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, the world's most sophisticated and advanced aircraft, the B-2 Advanced Technology Bomber, the Spirit of Missouri, arrived at Whiteman Air Force Base.
Ah-60 Apache Longbow
AH-64 Apache is the Army's heavy division/corps attack helicopter. Conducts rear, close, and shaping missions Includeing deep precision strike. Conducts distributed operations, precision strikes against relocatable targets, and provides armed reconnaissance when required in day, night, obscured battlefield and adverse weather conditions. The combination of the radars, advanced navigation and avionics suite of the aircraft provide increased situational awareness, lethality and survivability.
340 Bombardment Wing
In August 1951, SAC selected Sedalia AFB to be one of its new bombardment wings, with the first all-jet bomber, the B-47 Stratojet, and the KC-97 aerial refueling tanker assigned to the unit. Construction of facilities was conducted by the 4224th Air Base Squadron until October 20,1952, when the base was turned over to the 340th Bombardment Wing. The first B-47 arrived on March 25, 1954 and by the end of the following month the wing had 18 bombers assigned.
On October 12, 1954, the first KC-97 arrived. On August 24, 1955 Mrs. Earlie Whiteman of Sedalia was informed that Sedalia Air Force Base would be renamed Whiteman Air Force Base in tribute to her son, 2nd Lt. George A. Whiteman. Lt. Whiteman was one of the first airmen killed during the assault on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The dedication and renaming ceremony took place on December 3, 1955.
B-2 Stealth Bomber
The B-2 first saw combat on March 23, 1999, during Operation ALLIED FORCE in Serbia and Kosovo, the first sustained offensive combat air offensive conducted solely from U.S. soil. Although the B-2s accounted for only 1% of all NATO sorties, the aircraft's all-weather, precision capability allowed it to deliver 11% of the munitions used in the air campaign.
In October 2001, the B-2 bombers led America's strike force in Afghanistan, hitting the first targets in the country to "kick down the door" for Operation Enduring Freedom. The combat missions lasted more than 40 hours, with the aircraft operating continuously for more than 70 hours without incident before returning to Whiteman.
On March 21, 2003, the famous "shock and awe" campaign of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM began with the unprecedented use of precision-guided munitions by the B-2. The campaign also marked the first time the B-2 aircraft flew combat missions from both Whiteman AFB and a forward deployed location simultaneously.
Additional Units
Air National Guard's 131st Bomb Wing
In 2008, Whiteman AFB welcomed the Missouri Air National Guard's 131st Bomb Wing into its midst as an associate B-2 unit. In this capacity, Missouri's citizen-airmen work alongside active duty personnel to maintain and fly the nation's most advanced bomber.
Air Force Reserve's 442nd Fighter Wing
The 442nd Fighter Wing is comprised of nearly 1,800 members at Whiteman Air Force Base and two geographically separated units; the 917th Fighter Group, Barksdale Air Force Base, La., and the 476th Fighter Group, Moody Air Force Base, Ga. The wing is responsible for the combat readiness of 48 A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft - all the A-10s in the Air Force Reserve. The 442nd moved to Whiteman from Richards-Gebaur Air Force Base, Kansas City, Mo., in June 1994.
The A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat fighter jet designed to provide close air support for ground forces by attacking tanks and other armored vehicles. The A-10 was designed around the GAU-8 Avenuenger, a heavy rotary cannon that forms the aircraft's primary armament. The cannon is capable of firing 3,900 rounds per minute. The A-10's hull incorporates over 1,200 pounds of armor and was designed with survivability as a priority, with protective measures in place which enable the aircraft to continue flying even after taking significant damage.
The A-10 can also employ a wide variety of conventional munitions, including general purpose bombs, cluster bombs, laser guided bombs, joint direct attack munitions (JDAM), and AGM-65 Maverick and AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles. The 442nd has been involved in the Berlin Crisis, the Cold War, Desert Storm and Operations Deny Flight, Southern Watch, Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom.
Army National Guard's 1-135th Attack Reconnaissance Battalion
The 1-135th Attack Aviation Battalion's mission is to conduct attack, reconnaissance and security operations that compliment other maneuver forces. They control 13 AH-64D Apache Longbow Helicopters. The Missouri National Guard is the only component of the armed forces that has two missions. Our federal mission is to provide federal support when called upon by the president - this could be for overseas contingency operations or federal emergencies like Hurricane Katrina. Our state mission is to support the governor of the Missouri in times of state crisis.

Lincoln Street near Washington is temporarily closed after a stormwater sewer leak washed out the soil underneath a Union Pacific rail line earlier today. The soil provided important support under the tracks for both rail and vehicular traffic.
Lincoln is closed at Mead. Only local traffic can access Lincoln between Santa Fe and Washington until further notice. Staff from the City of Wichita and Union Pacific Railroad are assessing conditions to determine appropriate repairs. That section of Lincoln is likely to remain closed for at least the next several days.
Drivers and pedestrians are encouraged to take alternate routes to avoid Lincoln, between Santa Fe and Washington, until the road is reopened.


When does the deliberate destruction of relevant documents lead to a pleading being struck out?
Non-compliance with an order for discovery enlivens the power to strike out the pleadings of a party.
The power to deny a person the right to rely on their pleading, in whole or part, is exceptional and to be exercised sparingly given the drastic nature of the remedy.
The power exists not to punish the party in default but to ensure the proper administration of justice, in particular to ensure the capacity for a fair trial to be held.
The power exists whether or not the conduct of the party in default was blameworthy or delinquent, but the intention of the party in default is relevant both to a finding of abuse of process and to the drawing of inferences about the potential significance of the destroyed material to the issues in the case.
A fair trial does not mean one that is ideal or perfect as trials may be fair even if documents are missing.
The key consideration to the fairness of the trial in this context requires an assessment of the nature and extent of the prejudice to other parties by reason of the default.
The question of prejudice involves an assessment of the significance of the destroyed material to the proceeding even allowing for the capacity to draw adverse inferences against the party in default.
The remedy must be responsive and proportional to the prejudice of the non-defaulting parties. Judicial indignation at the affront to justice involved must not be given effect.
The respondent Mr Brooke was a former employee of Moody Kiddell & Partners (MKP), a brokerage service for equipment finance. MKP alleged, inter alia, that during Mr Brooke's employment (as a broker) and for a period of 12 months afterwards he used MKP's list of clients to entice those clients to give their business to him and another respondent Broolend Pty Ltd, a company established by Mr Brooke. MKP sued Mr Brooke and Broolend; Mr Brooke was sued for breach of his contract of employment and a confidentiality deed which included a restraint of trade.
MKP sought an order that the defence of Mr Brooke and Broolend be struck out in its entirety as an abuse of process of the Court, on the basis that Mr Brooke had deliberately destroyed documents relevant to issues in dispute and which ought to have been discovered.
The Court found that Mr Brooke had deliberately installed and used file shredding software after the commencement of proceedings and after he knew that he had discovery obligations and had been told by his solicitors not to destroy documents, for the substantial purpose of destroying material likely to be adverse to certain aspects of his defence (at ).
"what happens if you don't comply with a court order" and "what happens if you don't comply with a federal court order" (at ).
It was also found that Mr Brooke ran the file shredding software knowing that his computers were required for production during the two days before the required production date (at ).
There was sufficient evidence for the Court to be satisfied that whilst it was possible that MKP might be able to run particular parts of its case there was a "real and substantial risk" that it would not be able to do so by reason of Mr Brooke's deliberate conduct which the Court inferred was intended to have that very consequence (at ).
The extent of the destruction of the documents, and their direct relevance to particular issues in dispute, pointed to a well-founded concern that Mr Brooke's conduct had caused substantial prejudice to MKP's capacity to a fair hearing of its claims (at ).
Accordingly the Court was satisfied that Mr Brooke's conduct constituted an abuse of the process of the Court (at ).
The Court observed that the drawing of inferences adverse to Mr Brooke was insufficient to ensure a fair hearing to both parties. To ensure a fair hearing the Court struck out those paragraphs of the defence to which the missing documents were directly relevant (at ).
Whilst the facts of this case are exceptional, standard discovery obligation letters and warnings to clients may be reinforced by drawing attention to the potential consequences for a claim or defence, if relevant documents are found to have been intentionally destroyed.

Tony Gwynn's Hall of Fame Ring, 3000 Hit Ball Being Sold at Auction
January 12, 2017 By Rich Mueller
Over two dozen items from the personal collection of Tony Gwynn including his Hall of Fame induction ring and 3,000th hit baseball are on the auction block. SCP Auctions has them in its current catalog, with bidding set to close Saturday, January 21.
It marks the second time the company is offering items directly from Gwynn's widow Alicia, who says a portion of the proceeds will go toward the Tony and Alicia Gwynn Foundation, a non-profit, youth-oriented charity in San Diego. Another group of items was sold in 2015.
In all, over two dozen lots of Gwynn memorabilia are in the current auction. In addition to the Hall of Fame ring and 3,000th hit baseball, four of his silver bats commemorating N.L. batting titles are on the block along with five of his All-Star Game rings; two Silver Slugger Awards; and the ball he hit for his first major league home run in 1982.
"My husband was a man of honor and integrity who really wanted to make a difference in this world," said Alicia Gwynn. "Just like the first auction, this one serves two objectives: to share his baseball memorabilia with the fans who loved him and to give something back to the city that treated us so well."

The aforementioned six dimensions of health have been widely adapted and adopted, for example by WHO 2006 as part of it is promotion of a health systems approach to improving quality of care. However, it is important to note that there is a large range of dimensions some of which may have greater or lesser relevance in a given situation. Some, such as Godlee 2009, have promoted a simple approach focused on three dimensions of effectiveness, safety and acceptability to the user of the health service as outlined in Figure 2.3.
Interpersonal relations / communications A two-way street where both user and provider are able to speak and are listened to and both are able to fully understand what the other is trying to say.
Performance according to standards Explicit, measurable definitions of how healthcare should be performed.
Reflection: What interplay can you identify between safety and the other key dimensions of quality, for example efficiency?
These two dimensions, like many others, are inter-related, In order to be truly efficient a health care system has to be safe: an unsafe system will result in even more service users seeking care due to treatment-related (iatrogenic) complications. These complications may even be the result of inefficiencies within the system and will eventually lead to increased costs and decreased efficiency across the health care service.

"A play on low key" : Interview with Rapper Lilo Key
September 22, 2017 NiceJewBoyLeave a Comment on "A play on low key" : Interview with Rapper Lilo Key
Below you will find Lilo Key's track "Too Young" which came out a year ago and is currently at 437,000 views. That is actually how I found Lilo Key, when I was on the Rap Nation YouTube Channel.
I got in touch with Lilo and though it took awhile on both ends, first for him to email me back and then me to post it, but below you will find the interview we did.
How did you come up with your rap name?
Lilo Key is kind of a play on "low key". I've been perfecting what I do for 10 years now. Working by myself. I never started with any industry connections or any hands offering help, so the name kind of symbolizes a rebirth for me. I started completely unknown, and built everything you see today by myself. I wanted my name to represent that.
I'm 24 years old. My birthday is Nov. 8th
Where are you from and how does that influence your music?
I originally come from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and moved to New York City 7 years ago to get my degree in film making and begin my professional venture into the music industry. I like to think that Lancaster is where I was born, but New York is where I found myself. The melting pot of culture that NY is has had an enormous effect on my music, and how I grow up. Life, like New York, isn't always pretty, but it's authentic. That's something that I always strive to get across in the music that I make.
Who exactly is Lilo Key?
I'm just someone with a passion for art, a relentless drive, and desire to build a life for myself that I've never directly seen in person. I grew up in a working class family, and see the depression and struggle that comes from the path of life we're taught in school. I never wanted that for myself, or those I hold close to me. I also believe I have a gift for being able to vocalize to struggle that we all face as individuals trying to find our place in this world. I aim to use that gift to help those kids like me. Who grew up feeling like they didn't belong.
How long have you been making music?
How much do you charge for a feature?
That's for inquiring artists to find out on a case by case basis.
Being able to work with artists, and producers that I grew up idolizing has been an incredible blessing.
So has being able to connect with individuals around the world who I'd never have met in person through my music. It's crazy to see that my experiences and words can effect someone so deeply.
One night a few months ago I had two fans drive 3 hours from Delaware just to meet me, because they said my music saved their life. That's probably been the craziest thing that's personally happened since starting this journey.
What did you do today?
Work. Constantly. I'm always working on new music. New videos. New designs for merch. Meeting with my team to prepare tours and determine the next chapters in the Lilo Key story.
Kid Cudi. He helped me through high school. I was always a fan of hiphop, and a kid that felt like I didn't belong. I had never heard someone make music in the genre that I connected so personally with. Every time I would listen to one of his songs it was like he was talking to me directly.
My other influences are artists like Young Thug, Paul Simon, Johnny Cash, The Killers, Kevin Gates, Pharrell, and lots of other names.
I'm also always inspired by the work of film directors like Alfonso Cuarón, David Fincher, and Guillermo Del Toro.
Want to give any shoutouts?
Shout out to my family, and my girlfriend for putting up with my crazy self as I continue to pursue this seemingly impossible dream.
I'm a fantastic chef. (Self proclaimed, but friends and family agree) lol.
Any new music coming out?
I've always got new music on the way. Be sure to check out my newest record, Lifestyle, produced by Cxdy. It's available on Rap Nation and all major streaming services.
I've got my first headlining tour coming up in October, and will be traveling all over the east coast, so be sure to head over to LiloKey.com and grab tickets to the show closest to you. I hope to meet as many fans personally as I can along the way.
After I get back from that I'll begin work on my debut album.
Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity and as always…
God Help The Rest.
Thanks for all the love and support thus far.

As a kid I would grab cooked beets from my mom's kitchen not for eating it but tinting lips with a gorgeous pink color. It was a fun activity those days with this natural lipstick. Being a grown-up and mom to 2 kids there has been shift in this kind of thinking, now I adore beets for its distinctive flavor and nutritional status. This powerhouse root bursting with phytonutrients, vitamins, antioxidants and minerals is why I always look for ways to incorporate it into my diet. Are you also trying to add beets into your diet? then try this simple Beetroot Rasam recipe.
Beetroot rasam is a twist to regular rasam recipe. This vibrant rasam goes well with some steamed rice and a dollop of ghee. Alternately you may drink it like warm soup.
Wash, peel and dice the beetroots. Boil it in enough water until soft. You may choose to pressure cook chopped beets for 3 whistles. Once the pressure is released, remove the cooked beets and puree them. Keep this puree aside.
Heat ghee in a pan. Add curry leaves and asafoetida. Next add minced green chillies, chopped tomatoes and stir it for a min. Add tamarind juice and beetroot puree. Mix it well and continue cooking. Add all the spice powders, rasam powder and water as required. Add salt to taste and jaggery. Simmer the flame and let the mixture come to a light boil before you switch off the flame. Prepare seasoning with ingredients as mentioned above and pour it on the rasam. Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves and serve it hot.
You may prepare rasam with water used to boil veggies and keep boiled veggies aside for use in other dishes.
Instead of making beet puree, use the diced and cooked beetroot as it is in rasam if you prefer to have pieces in this soupy preparation.

CCU Commemorates Emancipation Day on August 1
On March 24, 2021, the House of Commons voted unanimously to officially designate August 1 Emancipation Day. It acknowledges the actual day in 1834 that the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 came into existence.
August 1, 2022 will mark the second federally recognized Emancipation Day in Canada – a day that honours the long legacy and contribution of Black Canadians and the commitment to unlearning anti-Black racism and the creation of a more just society. As Canadians, we are not always aware that Black and Indigenous peoples were once enslaved on the land that our campuses and workplaces exist.
As we celebrate Emancipation Day, let us commit to a bold and reparative social justice. Although the institution of slavery officially ended in slave colonies in some places within the British Empire after more than 300 years on August 1, 1834, the legacy of African enslavement reverberates today.
Let us remember and acknowledge those who fought enslavement and were pivotal in shaping the diversity of our campuses and communities.

Tim and Bonnie King's Hot Wheels in Las Vegas
Bonnie King Salem-News.com
Welcome to another side of the owners of Salem-News; take a journey through the heart of the Las Vegas motorworld and a ride back in time for Tim and Bonnie King.
(Salem, Oregon) - Hot Wheels in Las Vegas was a half hour television program produced by Tim and Bonnie King in 2000/2001 for Las Vegas' independent television station KFBT Channel 33.
Julie and Tim were the hosts
The thirteen -week series had one run on that station, and a second thirteen-week run on a popular Las Vegas cable TV station.
Tim King was a News Photojournalist/Reporter for Las Vegas station KVVU FOX-5 when he left to produce this entertainment program along with yours truly, his wife and co-producer, Bonnie King, while I worked simultaneously as the Production Manager for KVWB (WB LasVegas), and KFBT Channel 33 where "Hot Wheels in Las Vegas" aired.
A lifelong hot rod and sports car fan and the son of an antique car collector, Tim said at the time that Las Vegas seemed like the perfect place to produce a really interesting show about great looking cars, and he also thought we should throw in great looking women.
"Having worked for the FOX station in Vegas and the NBC before that, I knew many really smart, attractive women who worked behind the scenes at the stations and had no "on-air" time as the reporters did, yet still had aspirations to appear in front of the camera for a change, rather than behind it. Bonnie also knew several qualified ladies at her station."
So Tim ran an ad in the LasVegas paper to find a few more models, and soon we had "The Hot Wheels Girls". Suddenly a lot of talented people were being seen on television for the first time. The show was good promotion for many of the women, as they had aspiring modeling and acting careers.
Soon we were showing up at car shows, motorcycle rallies, motocross races and classic car museums, always with a string of beautiful models in tow. There was no end to the compelling stories, and each show featured a new and sometimes unknown aspect to the auto scene in Vegas.
Our genius behind the computer was Clark Buchanan, whose combination of artistic and technical skills outreached even the flash and flames we aspired to present. Clark was also webmaster for the program's impressive website.
The show was definite "eye candy" in every respect, but it encompassed all of the different auto related interests in Las Vegas... Sin City, ranging from cruising the famous illuminated strip with its myriad lights, to all sorts of car club activities, racing, and other events, not to mention the multi-million dollar classics.
The program was sponsored in part by The Auto Collections at the Imperial Palace and Las Vegas Harley Davidson. Two of the commercials in this program shot and produced by Tim and Bonnie are the Goodfella's Bail Bonds and Fast Freddy's Car Wash spots.
Hot Wheels in Las Vegas was hosted by Tim King and his co-host, Julie. Other models receive first name credits at the end of the program. Tim and Bonnie King no longer own or operate the Website vegaswheels.com which is advertised frequently in this program. This is presented for non commercial purposes as an example of a program in the television history of Las Vegas, Nevada.
The first 13 week series involved hours that nobody should keep. Much like Salem-News.com, we performed many duties with a very small staff of people, and two programs were completed with just minutes to spare, before airing on broadcast television. If you've ever seen the movie Broadcast News, you know what I mean. Producing Hot Wheels in Las Vegas was almost like working on a news program, with stringent deadlines to meet for the weekly show.
Many of us recall the whole time period as a real blast, and Tim says he couldn't agree more. He definitely enjoyed the experience. He drove dream cars and associated with a lot of automotive history and celebrities with similar interests. While it was fun, the show accomplished something few programs do.
By mixing the exotic rolling masterpieces of the rich with the edgy and biting hot rods that kids drive today, "Hot Wheels in Las Vegas" brought people together. Don Williams, one of the owners of the Auto Collections at the Imperial Palace, is one of the world's leading experts in early Mercedes Benz cars and other highly collectible automobiles.
He stated in an interview with Tim, "A car is the ultimate expression of who a person is. People are often personified by the kind of car they desire to own and drive, and that is why the value of so many cars has appreciated over the years to where it is now."
As a resident of Oregon, Tim says he would be very interested in creating a similar program for the Northwest. The biggest difference may be the fact that the program can be published on the Internet for a worldwide audience. Anyone who would be interested in partnering in such a venture should contact Tim King at: tim@salem-news.com
So for now, sit back and enjoy a program that truly showcased some of the most beautiful attractions of the city of Las Vegas, Nevada, with Hot Wheels in Las Vegas.
Watch the show, this is Episode 7:

Julia Mendoza January 6, 2008 8:37 am (Pacific time)
Hi there Bonie and Tim this is Julia former co-host of Hot Wheels in Las Vegas. I hope you both are doing good. Since the show I have had 2 little boys and I'm doing good. I hope you have continued with the show and you ever need girls for your show I am up for it.
Tim to Julia... it is so good to hear from you! Two little boys? That is so great to hear! When you can, send me an email at newsroom@salem-news.com
Joey Mendoza November 16, 2007 12:10 pm (Pacific time)
So where are all those girls now? Las Vegas sure has beautiful women, hope to see more. thx
Curious November 16, 2007 10:46 am (Pacific time)
I just want to know if you will post more episodes, thanks.
Rodder 1 November 16, 2007 8:57 am (Pacific time)
that's pretty cool, you should try to get it in here in the NW, car clubs would love it.

Bim Bam Boomer: No Twitter! Don't Do It!
It's rumored that those who manage Twitter are considering raising the "tweet" limit from 140 characters to 10,000. For those who don't know, Twitter is an online social networking service that enables users to send and read short 140-character messages called "tweets". Tweets cover all topics from the ridiculous to the sublime, from politics, arts, and entertainment to just plain goofy stuff like Heidi the cross eyed opossum. Lots of people & entities have Twitter accounts, including the White House, God (He has several), and Donald Trump. It's a great way to see what a lot of people are thinking and saying about a particular topic in a relatively short amount of time.
In the dictionary, "tweet" is defined as "to utter a succession of small, tremulous sounds, as a bird." The key word here is "small." The beauty of Twitter is that the 140 character limit forces people to be brief and to the point. A "tweeter" has to think carefully about what they want to say, and then say it as concisely as possible. There's not a lot of time wasted on what my high school English teacher used to call "purple prose." Lots of people can participate in the public discourse without anybody "hogging the stage."
A regular sized paperback book has about 330 words per page. With an average of 8 letters per word (which is generous), 10,000 characters comes to around 3-1/2 pages. That's a lot of space to publish a quick, concise thought, with lots of room to ramble.
Twitter is fine just the way it is. It's fun, informative, entertaining, quick, and easy. That's evidenced by the number and variety of users. All the major political candidates have accounts, as do actors, musicians, religious leaders, and regular people like you and me. In order to be an effective "tweeter", you don't have to be eloquent but you do have to be able to make a point. If someone wants to go on at length, they can always publish a link to an extended site.
Increasing the limit to 10,000 characters is going to flood Twitter with too much information. Who has time to read tweets that long? (That's if they can still call them tweets. How about "Sqawks" or "Soliloquys?") If someone has that much to say, let them write a blog.

Eruvin 41 and 43 Landing on shabbos, Flying Elijah, and תחומין למעלה מעשר
Posted on September 22, 2020 by yoniisaacson
One of the nightmares faced by the Torah observant traveler is the possibility of a flight being delayed and arriving at the destination airport on Shabbos.
While whether being on a plane per say on shabbos poises any halachik problems is a subject deserving its own discussion, once a person is already in the air, this is no longer within his control.
However, on landing, one is phased with various issues.
Some of them could be faced at the airport itself, if the entire airport is not one large private domain, or if entry forms needs to be filled in on arrival, not to mention luggage handling.
However, one of the most challenging issues is if and how one may get home or to the nearest Jewish community from the airport.
Even if one is able to leave one's luggage at the airport and walk, one must deal with the issue of תחומין, the main topic of our perek.
The opening Mishna of the perek taught us that if a person left his techum (shabbos domain) on shabbos, even by force, he is not permitted to return on shabbos and is confined to the 4 amos radius he currently finds himself in, a seemingly very harsh ruling for a rabbinical prohibition.
This applies even if he is inside the techum of a house or city.
It follows that if a person left the techum that he found himself in during twilight on erev shabbos, whether the departure city or wherever he was in the air at the time, something that doesn't take very long on a plane, he might be required to stay within 4 amos of wherever he lands up on shabbos, and not even be able to walk within the techum he has landed in.
The rule that an enclosed area is considered like 4 amos (also discussed in our current dapim) might allow him to walk within in the airport itself, depending on how that sugya is interpreted and concluded, but leaving the airport would be forbidden.
In truth, this is not a totally new question from the age of aviation but is tied to an old question regarding people who disembark from a ship on shabbos.
In our Gemara, Rav Chananya asks whether the laws of techumim apply more than 10 tefachim above the ground or not.
At first glance, it seems that this must have something to do with the fact that an area more than 10 tefachim above the public domain is either a private domain (if it has the minimum width) or a מקום פטור , and walking on it is thus considered insignificant when it comes to techumim.
The Gemara immediately clarifies that a pillar that is more than 10 tefachim high and 4 tefachim wide, part of it within one's techum and part of it outside the techum, may certainly not be used as a legal way of leaving the techum. This is because it is considered ארעא סמיכתא (solid or supporting ground,) a phrase we have seen before regarding land that slopes at a comfortable gradient for walking up as well as the area below 3 tefachim in a public domain.
In this context, Rashi explains that because it is fit for walking on (presumably due to its flat and wide nature), walking on it is considered הלוך מעליא (proper walking) and the laws of techumim certainly apply.
It therefore limits the question to a pillar or raised area that is less than 4 tefachim wide, which is harder to walk on , to someone jumping from inside his techum to outside it, or according to a different version, to a boat in water more than 10 tefachim deep, which is also considered to be 10 tefachim above the ground.
It seems from this that the question about whether the laws of techumim apply above 10 tefachim or not has nothing to do with it being a private or exempt domain as opposed to a public domain or Karmelit, but rather to do with the fact that it is not an area fit for normal walking.
This requires further analysis, but moving on through the sugya, the Gemara suggests various proofs that the laws of techumim do not apply above 10 tefachim.
The first proof is from a case in our Mishna, involving a boat at sea, which the Gemara now seems to take for granted is considered to be above 10 tefachim from the ground .
The Mishna brought the case of various Tannaim who were on a boat on shabbos. Once they had left the techum, they were technically not allowed to move outside the 4-amah radius they were sitting in at the time shabbos started.
Yet Rabban Gamliel and Rabbi Elazer ben Azaria walked anywhere on the boat, in keeping with their rule that an enclosed area is treated like 4 amos.
Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Yehoshua, who did not accept this leniency when it came to someone who left his techum on shabbos, predictably stayed within their 4 amos.
If the laws of techumim do not apply above 10 tefachim (like in a boat at sea,) their stringent action makes no sense.
As such, the Gemara wishes to conclude that the laws of techumim do indeed apply above 10 tefachim.
This proof is rejected given the possibility that laws of techumim do not apply above 10 tefachim but they still wanted to be strict on themselves, in case they passed through shallow water which put them within 10 tefachim of the seabed.
The Gemara brings another two proofs which are both rejected, but now that we have seen that the Gemara takes the view that a boat is to be treated as being higher than 10 tefachim so long as the water it is sailing in is more than ten tefachim deep, I will proceed for now to the final attempted proof.
The Gemara brings a case where someone made an oath that he will be a nazir on the day that the son of David (Mashiach) comes.
Such a person must act like a nazir during all weekdays going forward, seeing as mashiach might have come that day already and he is simply not yet aware of it.
However, on shabbos or Yom Tov, he does not have to act like a Nazir.
The Gemara assumes at first that this is because Eliyahu haNavi needs to accompany him and is not permitted to travel so far out of his shabbos domain to do so- apparently even though he is able to fly (an assumption whose halachik significance needs its own discussion of course.)
It thus wishes to conclude from this that the laws of techumim indeed apply above 10 tefachim, otherwise flying such a distance would not represent a problem for him.
The Gemara refutes this proof, given that the passuk in fact tells us that Hashem will send Eliyahu "לפני בא יום ה" – BEFORE the day of Hashem comes, namely the day before.
As we were promised that Eliyahu would not come on a Friday, to avoid disturbing our busy shabbos preparations (itself quite an astonishing statement about the importance of shabbos preparations,) it follows that Mashiach will not come on a Shabbos, and he does not have to act as a nazir.
The Gemara then asks why he is not also exempt from his vow on a Sunday- after all, seeing as Eliyahu cannot come on Shabbos because of techum issues, Mashiach cannot come on a Sunday- it wants to prove from the fact that he is not exempt on Sunday that Eliyahu could indeed come on shabbos, because there is no prohibition of techumim above 10 tefachim from the ground!
The Gemara answers that it unable to derive from this that there is definitely no issue of techumim on shabbos because it is possible that this was unsure whether techumim apply above ten tefachim or not.
Due to this uncertainty, the vower must take into the account that Eliyahu (who knows the halacha even if we don't) might have come on Shabbos, and thus must act as a Nazir on Sunday out of doubt.
However, that does not mean that we can prove from here that there is certainly an issue of techumim above 10 tefachim.
As such, the core question regarding whether the laws of techumim apply above 10 tefachim remains unresolved in the Gemara.
Although we are strict regarding his vow, keeping with the rule of ספק דאורייתא לחומרא , as far as the rules of eruvin themselves are concerned, it follows that we might apply the general rule that in matters of doubt ספר עירוב לקולא .
Assuming that this rule in turn is a derivation of the general rule of ספק דאורייתא לחומרא (something we touched on briefly in an earlier post but that requires further analysis,) it would then follow according to the opinions that תחומין are biblical after 4 parsa (about 16 km) , this leniency might not apply if he has travelled more than that amount since twilight on erev shabbos, an almost certainty with air travel. (see however Ramban, who raised and rejects this distinction.)
Putting the above concern aside, it follows that where prohibitions of techumim are involved, we might be lenient and someone who has travelled through the air, like one who has travelled through the sea, has not transgressed any techum related prohibitions and is thus not subject to the 4 amos restriction.
However, it is still not so simple.
Besides for the question of the larger biblical techum, there is also the question of when and where his shabbos base is determined to be.
After all, if there are no techumim above 10 tefachim, and he was at sea or in the air during the critical twilight period of erev shabbos, he had no techum to become his shabbos base at that time, and it could be argued that he thus has NO shabbos base other than his own 4 amos.
If this were true, then even if disembarking were permitted, and even if he were to be allowed to enter the terminal building, he would not be allowed to leave the port or the airport on shabbos!
The Ramban notes that he has seen many who have the custom to indeed stay in port under such circumstances.
He suggests that this might be based on the Raavad who understands the Gemara as concluding that we are strict out of doubt regarding techumim above 10 tefachim, not only regarding the vow, but also regarding the laws of Eruvin, an exception to the general rule of ספק עירוב לקולא.
He rejects this view out of hand, and then suggests that it might be due to the above concern regarding him not having any shabbos base at all.
Bringing various sugyos and Rishonim as support, he concludes that this is not a concern, and that in the absence of a person's shabbos base being defined during twilight, it is defined as the first valid techum he enters on shabbos itself, in this case the port or city he has arrived in .
Given that, he could technically walk as far as anywhere within the city and within a 2000 amah radius of it.
This would obviously only apply if the port, the parts of the city he walks through, and his home are halachically considered within the same city (with gaps of less than about 140 amos between the houses or enclosed property's walls,) something that might apply in city airports but not in many international airports that serve large cities but are situated outside the halachik city boundaries itself.
Furthermore, unlike a boat which sails in the water till the moment it reaches port, a plane reaches 10 tefachim of the ground just before landing, far away from the airport terminal on a long runway ( a point I saw was raised by Rabbi Daniel Dombroff of New Jersey in a brief online post on the subject.)
Even with the Ramban's reasoning, his first valid shabbos base would then be by the landing site, which is unlikely to be in an area that is מוקף לדירה (surrounded for purposes of dwelling) and is almost certainly in an area larger than a בית סאתיים (5000 squares amos or about 500 square metres,) and unlikely to be within the techum of the city (though once we square the city and its 2000 amos to define its effective techum, the later is certainly still possible.)
As such, he would only have 2000 amos from that point, and it is likely that by the time he gets to the terminal building, he will have already left his techum and thus at best, be confined to the terminal, and at worst be confined to the 4 amos he is dropped off in.
This seems to be the basis of common practise to avoid leaving the terminal building, even if the terminal is within the techum of his city.
However, I see some theoretical reasoning for being lenient regarding walking from an airport too, when the terminal is within the city's techum, in a similar way that the Ramban was lenient in allowing one to walk home from the seaport so long as the port is within the techum of the city.
This is because the plane itself is more than 10 tefachim above the ground, even once it has landed.
Even though some opinions are stringent with a wagon, considering it to be ארעא סמיכתא , a plane while taxiing is very different to a wagon for various reasons, among them:
i. It is in a state of continuous and forced motion and cannot simply stop when it wants.
ii. It is not only difficult, but both dangerous and forbidden to walk around on it during the taxi stage. (I was interested to see that in a different context, for this and other reasons, מראה הבזק חלק ה brings reasons for leniency even in a wagon or high motorcar)
As such, there is a strong case that his first viable shabbos base to be encountered is not the point at which the plane lands, but at the point where the plane stops, which is far more likely to be within 2000 amos of the terminal or even within the techum of the city.
This is obviously far simpler when an airbridge is used, rather than a bus system, given that there are bona fide partitions around the whole area he will be walking through.
In practise, due to the extreme complexity of this question and the many variables which can change the halacha, it indeed seems hard to be lenient and allow one to leave the terminal building.
It goes without saying that one should do one's absolute best to ensure a good safety net of time between anticipated landing and shabbos to allow not only for usual arrival procedures and travelling home, but for a reasonably normal delay, and if it is clear that one will land after shabbos once on the plane, to request permission to disembark before take-off.
However given that this is a common issue, perhaps Jewish communities could be encouraged to get an eruv expert to map the techum of their city and establish whether their airport is indeed within its techum, in which case local halachik authorities could rule that in cases where staying at the airport over shabbos is an extreme destruction of one's Oneg shabbos and/or involves serious discomfort, walking home or to a community center or member's home might be a valid option.
Though I have not researched the geography of Moscow, it could be that based on the below link,this is precisely what Russia's Chief Rabbi once did!

Piyush Pandey, Executive Chairman and Creative Director for Ogilvy & Mather India and South Asia, talks about being our country's favourite 'Ad' guy, his love for the common people and eternal zest for life!
His transition to the creative side wasn't as easy as he makes it sound. Since there was an existing team, the bosses couldn't afford to bring him in as a senior resource without upsetting the apple cart. So, they created an absolutely new position for him. Pandey became copy chief, Indian languages, as here was an opportunity for him to write Indian content in the Indian context. He went on to write unforgettable tag lines like Chal Meri Luna, Dam Laga Ke Haisha and Mera Wala Cream and give brands like Luna, Fevicol, and Asian Paints a much-needed impetus.
and shot by ace ad filmmaker Kailash Surendranath who also made the famed "Torch of Freedom" video with celebrity sport stars and the breezy Lyril ad. Pandey recalls that Mullick wanted the lyrics to be easy-on-the-ear and meaningful. Since he was only receiving "heavy lyrics," he put his faith in Pandey and asked him to write. "Since I didn't know any heavy Hindi, I wrote in simple Hindi," he says.
Another special person who brings out the best in him is his wife Nita.
The first time they met, both of them were married to other people. By the time they met three years later, they were both divorced and found great happiness in each other's company. For Pandey, Nita is a huge support and an inspiration for a number of ideas. The utterly cute Oogly Woogly Woosh line for Pond's came about from a romantic moment on the newly-married couple's balcony. Nita pulled his cheeks and said these famous lines, and an idea was born!
of sport, poetry, debates and forward thinking; his father was part of a cooperative movement and his mother was a self-educated person who went on to read the entire Hindi literature. His school, St. Xavier's, Jaipur, and college, St. Stephen's, Delhi, also had an equal role to play in shaping up his mind, thoughts and personality.
From the time, he wasn't on the Indian ad scene to 35 years later; so much has changed in the advertising scenario. Pandey says, we are a lot more consumer-friendly today. Earlier, we used to talk about the products as those were the days of the seller's market; now we are far more consumer-oriented.
We understand the dreams, desires and emotional needs of a consumer and work on it, as it's an opportunity for us to understand them better. "Emotionally- charged messaging is what differentiates us humans from animals. Human beings are made in a fashion that we have choices and preferences. Emotions play a huge role in letting the consumer decide whether to buy X or Y because we are a combination of rational and emotional," he explains.
Like his ads, his life philosophy is to keep it simple and enjoy what you do. "Be passionate about work. If you are not passionate, then reconsider what you're doing. Advertising is a great place for people because you get to do new work every day. Also in our field, you're able to see the fruits of your labour very quickly so it's very exciting, to do better." In his own words, lage raho!
a whole lot of excitement— getting an idea and sharing it with everybody. In advertising, there's something called an easy time and then there's a rough time. It's like the armed forces, when we are not at war, we practice.
By sorting out what's important and what is not. Meetings per se are not important, issues are! I decide what we need to discuss and accordingly prepare myself for it. More than the meetings, it's the focus that's really needed.
How do you motivate your crew?
I am as important as they are, as we can only win together!
Are you fond of collecting anything?
I am collector of Lord Ganesh images and idols. I love them because they are not expensive or very fancy. The beauty of Ganesh is that our culture has given the artist a free hand with this particular God. I have him writing the accounts book, dancing and playing cricket. It's refreshing to see how India has given any artist the creative license to make different forms of Ganesh.
I enjoy all kinds of music, from Indian classical, ghazal, old English movie music, etc.
Whiskey is my poison and joy.
Adrak ki kadak chai is all I need.
I am not a brand-conscious person. I am a bush shirt and trouser kind of guy. But yes, I have bought the same BMW model for a second time!
That would have to be Titan.
I relish Indian food and even when I am abroad, I am always on the lookout for it. My favourite dish is Rajasthani junglee mutton made with red chilli, meat and ghee.
I always look up to my mom, for the simple reason that I learnt so much from her. What she couldn't do in her personal life, she inspired others to do the same. She was something else and would have loved to see what I have achieved.
If we asked you to come up with a one-liner for a money plant and a CEO, what would they be?
The key word here is plant which has two meanings – a sapling and a factory. So, if you want to make money Mr CEO, you have to put the right seed and see it grow. Talk to people! Treat a plant like a plant – start loving it!
Over the years, Pandey has been awarded the highest civilian honour – the Padma Shri; the CLIO Lifetime Achievement award (the first for any Indian) and the AAAI Lifetime Achievement Award apart many other accolades.


Representatives from nine organizations, representing more than 2 million seniors and their families, are meeting with Members of Parliament in Ottawa today to highlight key issues for their members – the need to implement a national seniors strategy, make retirement income more secure and prioritize pharmacare.
"We're here in Ottawa today to let Members of Parliament know that Canada needs a National Seniors Strategy – one that optimizes health, financial security and social inclusion, so all Canadians can age with dignity," says Jean-Guy Soulière, president of the Federal Retirees.
"On behalf of our collective membership of 2 million seniors, we're speaking to our elected officials today to tell them that Canadians deserve a secure and dignified retirement, with a guaranteed and sufficient source of income," explains Gerry Tiede, vice-president of ACER-CART.
Delegates from the Vibrant Voices network, who come from across Canada, have more than 20 meetings scheduled with MPs throughout the day. They will also be attending Question Period, where the group will be recognized by Minister of Seniors Filomena Tassi.

Speed51 Elite Modifieds Shake Things Up at Watkins Glen
The Speed51 Elite Modified Tour went road racing Tuesday night on iRacing, taking on the short course of Watkins Glen International in the second race of the 2020 Spring season. Putting on a dominating performance among many of the best sim and real-world racers assembled, Horn kept the field at arm's length for most of the 41 laps.
Horn's performance proved to be a bit of a surprise for those who had been monitoring practice times prior to the night's racing. However, he showed his true speed in qualifying, which proved to be a blessing for Horn when chaos struck on the first lap of the race.
"It was there, I just didn't have a lot of time to practice in the session," said Horn after the race. "Right after the first race last week I was able to get some practice in to test for the setup for this race. We ran some good times in that test.
"I knew I had to qualify well because Lap 1 junk is common in a race like this, and that proved true. I was able to start ahead of two of my big competitors, who were taken out in that. So that was lucky, plus other strong guys started in the back."
Despite his dominance, it was not a perfect night for Horn, as he slid around the track over the 100 miles, and even lost the lead on a pit gamble by Joshua Banks. He would get the lead back when Banks would pit a second time, but even being behind, Horn was confident he could've run down Banks anyways.
"The only trouble was passing some lapped cars and I was really loose on that final turn, same in the carousel. But, it was a fun car to drive, wheeling it around. It was going to be interesting at the finish since Banks took a lot less fuel, he was 15 seconds ahead, and I was asking what I did wrong, but he was short. I was catching him fast and I think I still could've come out on top."
Unfortunately for Banks, there was a miscalculation to his short fill-up gamble, which had him pitting with 10 laps to go, after he and the rest of the field pitted for fuel and tires around the Lap 20 midway point.
"The reason I went back in was because I was a gallon short, I put one gallon less than I wanted to, and I miscalculated while I was doing my run. Unfortunate night, I just didn't think it through. I was still happy to come out with third even with the struggles we had."
Banks was unable to fend off early championship contender Ryan Doucette, who backed up his runner-up performance in the season's first race at New Smyrna Speedway, with another at Watkins Glen. This time around, Doucette had to do things the hard way.
"Biggest challenge was having to come from the back, I qualified decent in seventh, but showed up to practice last second because I thought the race was starting at 8:30. So I had to start at the back for showing up late, but I worked my way up. It was a big challenge, especially considering a lot of these guys are not used to running road courses. I have minimal road course experience on iRacing, so just trying to hold back and not wreck into slower guys early on was tough there."
Tate Lightle finished the night in fourth, while New Smyrna winner Bryan Narducci slotted in fifth. Defending Speed51 Elite Modified champion Brandon Wilkinson was sixth, with Vincent Isabella coming last on the lead lap in seventh. Jay Kanor, Ethyn Reasoner, and Brad Carpenter rounded out the Top 10.
Race three of 10 for the 2020 Spring season of the Speed51 Elite Modified Tour is set to go green next Tuesday at 7:30pm ET on iRacing at New Hampshire Motor Speedway for the Elite Musket 100. See it live as always here on Speed51.com.
