If the preliminary agreement stands, the Florida group that wants to move the team to Wilmington, Delaware, could seal a $8.5 million deal to buy the franchise.
If it doesn't, the current owners of the B-Mets can move on and sell the team to an unnamed buyer, who they say will keep the team in Binghamton.
Lawyers for both sides argued Wednesday over a breach-of-contract suit brought by Main Street Baseball, prospective buyers who believed they had signed an agreement to buy the team in late December.
The Florida group alleges that a "letter of intent" drawn up by the parties was tantamount to a binding contract. Current B-Mets owners say the multi-page agreement was merely a starting point for negotiations and was never considered binding.
Inside a courtroom on the third floor of the federal building in downtown Utica, lawyers on each side attempted to convince Hurd of the merits of their conflicting claims.
Though the sides were encouraged to work out the dispute, neither side exited the post-hearing talks encouraged that an out-of-court settlement could be reached.
Main Street Baseball is asking the court to prohibit the current B-Mets owners from selling the team to a third party until the contract dispute can be settled.
But the owners contend that their obligation to seal the purchase expired in March, when a 60-day period to negotiate the details of the final contract should have been settled, according to agreement terms.
"Why was there a 60-day (termination period) in there if this was a binding agreement?" Hurd asked lawyers for Main Street Baseball.
Tyler Chapman, a lawyer for Main Street Baseball, responded that the 60-day period spoke to the urgency of the deal "rather than letting the sides go their separate ways."
But Hurd also said he wondered about the owners' strategy, and if that had an effect on the case.
The judge asked pointed questions of B-Mets ownership, wondering whether the "no-shopping" clause contained in the initial agreement was breached because a subsequent deal appeared only two days after the expiration of the negotiation period with Main Street Baseball.
Hurd termed the second agreement "rather quick" on the heels of the first agreement to buy the team.
Jonathan Fellows, a lawyer for the B-Mets, told the judge several substantive issues were in dispute at the close of the 60-day negotiation period with Main Street Baseball, and that's why the agreement was allowed to lapse and another buyer was pursued.
Among the serious issues in dispute, Fellows said, were the allocation of accounts payable after the ownership transfer, along with an assurance sought by the prospective owners that they would be protected from assuming any loses the franchise accrued in the 2015 season.
David Heller and Clark Minker, the two principals in Main Street Baseball, sat behind their attorney during the hearing, while team President Michael Urda, one of four B-Mets owners, sat behind his defense team. Neither side would comment on the proceeding as they exited the federal building.
The B-Mets' home opener is Thursday evening, after they played the first week of the season on the road.
Binghamton has been last in Eastern League attendance for the past five years. Last season, the team attracted 171,000 fans, an average of 2,700 for each date. By comparison, the attendance-leading Richmond (Virginia) Flying Squirrels, a San Francisco Giants affiliate, attracted 418,000 people, an average of 6,300 for each game.
The B-Mets have been the Double-A affiliate of the New York Mets since the franchise's first season in 1992. The most-recently announced player development contract between the New York Mets and the B-Mets runs through the 2016 season. That agreement was announced following the 2012 season.
On the field, the B-Mets just completed their most successful three-year stretch in franchise history. They set a single-season franchise record for regular-season wins in 2013, Pedro Lopez set the franchise record for victories by a manager in 2014, and the team set a franchise record for wins in the regular season and postseason combined in 2014 on its way to the Eastern League championship.
The lawsuit against the local owners — following years of denial that the B-Mets were for sale — revealed that the team had been on the block for at least four years.
After 22 years of ownership, Urda said he and his other partners — including David Maines, Bill Maines and George Scherer — are ready to move on to other interests.

2019 elections: SDA Church alleges disenfranchisement of over 250,000 members
On August 18, 2018 7:35 amIn Newsby Tony
By Levinus Nwabughiogu
Seventh-Day Adventist Church, SDA, owners of Babcock and Clifford Universities has alleged a disenfranchisement of 270,000 of its members during elections in Nigeria.
This, the church, said comes on the account of the continued conduct of elections on Saturdays which is their day of worship.
Speaking at a press conference which came on the heels of a maiden Convention of Adventist Men' Organization, AMO in the Northern Nigeria Union Conference of the Church in Abuja, the President, Pastor Freeman Dariya said that also stated that it was against the letters of the Bible and the religious liberty as enshrined in the 1999 Constitution (As Amended) to conduct mandatory university entrance examinations on Saturdays.
He said that many of their children within the school age had been deprived of admission into various universities by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB for fixing the entrance examinations on Saturdays.
He appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to adopt measures that would enable the members to vote during elections.
Pastor Dariye was flanked at the briefing by some pastors and other church workers among whom were Pastor Yohanna Harry (Executive Secretary, Northern Nigeria Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventist Church),
Pastor Micah Nasamu (President, North Central Nigeria Conference of Seventh-day Adventist Church), Pastor Amos Katia (Executive Secretary, North Central Nigeria Conference, and Elder Emmanuel Ogbonna (Director, Adventist Men's Organization, Northern Nigeria Union Conference of Seventh-Day Adventist Church).
He said: "The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a major Christian Denomination with a significant presence in Nigeria with over 278,000 population.
"We worship on Saturdays not for personal reasons but Biblical, which are founded in the scripture and dates back to creation (Genesis 2:1-3; Exodus 20:8).

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.4G is Nikon's answer (after many years) to Canon's lock on f/1.4 at 35mm, though Nikon has long had a manual focus 35mm f/1.4 AI-S.

A "G" lens with no aperture ring
My biggest disappointment with the new Nikon 34/1.4G is that it is a "G" lens, which means that it cannot be used on Canon with a mechanical lens adapter, thus reducing its versatility for those of us that shoot both Nikon and Canon. But most users won't be concerned with this.

Iran in crosshairs at US-led talks in Poland
(R-L) US Vice President Mike Pence, Poland's President Andrzej Duda and Prime minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu. — AFP
WARSAW: The United States and Israel will lead a new push to pressure Iran at a conference on Thursday in Warsaw which is as notable for its absences as its attendees.
US Vice President Mike Pence and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are both set to address the 60-nation gathering on Valentine's Day, which will promote a US-led vision of the world that includes no love for Iran.
But most major European nations sent only low-level officials, alarmed at President Donald Trump's bellicose tone on Iran.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has managed to divert the spotlight by holding a simultaneous summit in the resort of Sochi with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan over the future of war-battered Syria.
Also casting a cloud over the Warsaw talks, a suicide car bombing in southeastern Iran on Wednesday killed 27 troops of the elite Revolutionary Guards who were returning from patrol, according to the force.
Iran quickly linked the attack to the Warsaw conference, where supporters of the formerly armed opposition plan a second day of protests on Thursday.
Dubbing the meeting in Poland the "WarsawCircus", Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said it was "no coincidence that Iran is hit by terror on the very day" the talks began.
But an extremist group from the Sunni Muslim minority claimed responsibility for the attack in the volatile southeastern Baluchistan region bordering Pakistan.
Sunni militants were also held responsible for a major assault on a military parade in southwestern Iran in September.
The latest violence – and the conference – come just as the Shiite clerical regime was celebrating 40 years since the Islamic revolution that overthrew the pro-US shah.
Growing US pressure on Iran
Iran has been comparatively stable in a turbulent region in recent years. But President Donald Trump has boasted of growing unrest and economic insecurities after he slapped on biting sanctions.
Trump walked away from what he called a "terrible" 2015 deal negotiated by his predecessor Barack Obama in which Iran constrained its nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief.
The European Union has defied Trump by not only backing the accord, with which UN inspectors say Iran is complying, but setting up a financial tool for European firms to skirt US sanctions and keep doing business in the Middle East's second most populous country.
Even Poland – always eager to please the United States as it fears a resurgent Russia – has gone to pains to say that it still backs the agreement alongside other European members.
Poland and the United States toned down the conference to a vague goal of seeking stability in the Middle East without specifically mentioning Iran.
Netanyahu has been unflinching in his criticism of Iran's leaders, who do not recognise Israel's right to exist.
One result of Netanyahu's campaign has been to put him into an unofficial coalition with Israel's longtime Arab adversaries that also dislike Iran.
Netanyahu tweeted a photo of himself meeting in Warsaw with Oman's foreign minister, Yusuf bin Alawi bin Abdullah, calling it a "revolution in Israel's foreign relations!"
The Israeli leader paid a rare visit last year to the Gulf sultanate, which has no official ties with Israel but has sought smooth relations with powers across the region, including Iran.
Guarded hopes on Yemen
The sole senior official from a major European power to attend is British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, who said he wanted to focus on ending the crisis in Yemen.
Several million Yemenis are on the brink of starvation and the country has suffered one of the worst cholera outbreaks in modern times, as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates – backed by the United States – seek to bomb and blockade Iranian-linked Huthi rebels into surrender.
Hunt – whose country is also a major arms supplier to Riyadh – met Tuesday evening in Warsaw jointly with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and senior officials from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
In a joint statement, the four countries said they hoped to expand on a seven-week ceasefire that has largely held in the crucial port city of Hodeida but accused the Huthis of presenting obstacles.
"The ministers agreed that there is a window of opportunity to end the conflict in Yemen and to redouble their efforts to reach a political solution," they said. — AFP

So much is written about the importance of the mother/child relationship, the damage that can result from this being troubled, the influence of the attachment in this relationship being brought to bear on future relationships and so on, but, much less is written about the father/child relationship.
How important is the role of the father? How much does his presence or absence impact on our development?
Fathers can be physically present or absent and/or emotionally present or absent. Many children grow up without the physical and supportive emotional presence of a father. As a result of this, they seem to struggle more with issues of identity and self-esteem as they move onwards and upwards into adulthood than their counterparts who have fathers who are around in both senses.
According to Ian Gordon-Brown, (Journey in Depth, 2002) the father is chiefly concerned with identity, effecting it at every level. His role is about vocation, knowledge, looking at the present and the future. Father is linked with the head, the rational, thoughts - the Will, in Psychosynthesis terms. This implies that it is the father that facilitates our breaking out of the nurturing relationship with our mother and moving forward into our futures, our careers, our relationships. Whereas mother might want to hold on, father wants to encourage us forward.
Fathers can be associated with the bottom line in discipline, the "wait until your father gets home" threat. They can, fairly or unfairly, be lumbered with taking a huge amount of responsibility for the practical areas of everyday life. They can also be weak, unengaged and opt out of responsibility.
We need, also, to remember that fathers have their own context. Their relationships with their fathers and grandfathers, their understanding of what it is to be men, how they learned how to be men, to be fathers, particularly as, within the last century, there have been not only two world wars but also, more recently, huge pressures on them to shift from the status quo of their roles.
As with our relationship with our mother, our relationship with our father warrants our attention. We are inevitably impacted by his presence or absence, and, we can learn that, whatever the relationship or lack of one, there is the potential for deepening our understanding of our father and ourselves. There may be wounds as a result of that relationship or lack of it, and, as well as those wounds, we may discover some gifts.

One of the easiest ways I've found to "out" false teachers is to ask if they believe that Jesus is the only way to salvation. They very rarely do. They'll defend their false view with some tidbit they've heard then try to change the subject. Some, like false teacher Chuck "Jesus is not the only way" Currie, come up with entire sermons designed to rationalize away plain texts like John 14:6 (Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.).
Theologically Progressive/Liberals who claim the name of Christ mock the cross and the blood of the martyrs. They refer to a few Bible verses, though almost always out of context, but if you keep them talking long enough they deny nearly all the essentials of the faith.
What they don't know is that there are more than 100 passages supporting the truth that Jesus is indeed the only way to salvation. When you point that out they work overtime to ignore you or change the subject. Don't let them do that. And keep in mind that many of them have Masters or Doctorates in theology yet they have read the Bible so little that they don't even know that truth! Just ask them this: Do you believe that Jesus is the only way to salvation, or do you rationalize away the 100+ passages affirming that truth? Follow-up question: If you deny those passages, then you are denying that the Holy Spirit inspired the original writings, so what is your evidence that the original writings were wrong but that the Holy Spirit is now accurately revealing truths to you?

Read the entire post and comments. Neil answers each query and objection by utilizing biblical hermeneutics masterfully!
Unfortunately, liberal Christians often make the same mistakes as non-believers. They equate the necessary correction and reproof by fellow Christians as "judging" others. But the fact is that man can be guilty of "judging" God's Word and rejecting the truth therein; precisely because it goes against their own personal beliefs regarding what constitutes sin. Instead of agreeing with what God has revealed in Scripture, they want to hold onto their own ideologies or secular beliefs. When they do that (by not utilizing exegesis, Scripture interprets Scripture – meaning proper hermeneutics), then they incorrectly interpret Scripture and thus the true meaning can be lost. Such methods easily lead one astray into heresy and apostasy.
There are many Scriptures that tell us to avoid such misinterpretations.
2Ti 3:17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work .
The importance of the Holy Spirit guiding the born-again believer can't be emphasized enough! Jesus told us that he would send the Helper (at Pentecost) who will testify of him (Jesus), bring all we have learned back to mind and help us to properly learn, study, and apply Scripture!
Jhn 15:26 "But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. Notice that Jesus needed to depart in order for the Holy Spirit to be sent.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth .
Mat 28:20 "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.[fn] What's more, the closer we get to the end times we know that there will be a falling away from the truth. This is why the 2 Timothy 3:16-17 instruction is so crucial when sharing the Gospel of Christ!
See the book of Jude for one example.
Late yesterday morning while walking my dogs back to our home, I found a man with a shoulder sack and his daughter standing at my front door. I thought, "Let me guess…either they are Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons!" Well, I was correct. They were Jehovah's Witnesses (JW's).
The man said, "Hello, my daughter would like to offer you some information." Next, the little girl (I would guess she was around 8 years old) started talking about the Watch Tower pamphlets in her hands. I politely listened to what she had to say, knowing that I would not be taking the pamphlets. However, I told her that I was very impressed with how well she briefly articulated what the pamphlets contain.
I have learned over the years that it is best to "cut to the chase" when speaking with JW's. I looked at her father and stated that I had shared the company of a lovely woman named Teresa back in the 1990's. She came to my door in her wheelchair, and I didn't have the heart to turn her away. However, after several weeks of visits, we ended up parting ways when her faith teaching rejected the reality of our triune God. The man instantly knew who I was talking about! This has been a typical reaction of the JW's with whom I have had encounters over the years. They all know each other! Teresa T. had passed away many years ago. The man said he knows of her legacy and he knows her husband. I stated that Teresa had taught me a lot about the Old Testament Scriptures. However, when the subject of the Trinity came up it was obvious that we had strong disagreement. I added that Matthew 28:19 tells us that Jesus specifically stated that we are to go and make disciples, baptizing them in the NAME of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
The original language in Aramaic reveals that Jesus used the singular version of "name." He didn't say, 'in the names.' Therefore, we have evidence of the Triune nature of God. The fact that Jesus used the terms "and of the Son; and of the Holy Spirit" separately from his reference to God the Father reiterates that they are three Persons in one Godhead.
The Jehovah's Witnesses are taught that believing in the Trinity is paganism. They do not agree with the concept that God can be three Persons in One. They think that believing in the triune nature of God is believing in three different gods.
Interestingly enough, the man pulled out his cell phone and went to an app for JW's. He checked the concordance-like site and agreed that Jesus did use the singular term "name" in the Matthew 28:19 verse. But he then added that the JW's have an explanation for that.
I briefly told him of my journey from Catholicism to becoming a born again Christian. Then, I told him that I have been a student of Bible study for over 25 years. He said that he has studied [his version] of the Bible for many years and appreciates meeting Christians who have done the same.
We both knew that we would not end up studying together. But I urged him to seek out more information regarding the triune nature of God. I encouraged him to do a computer search for D. James Kennedy's expose' on the Trinity. It's a classic! I also shared that there is scientific evidence of the triune nature of God within Creation.
In Dr. D. James Kennedy's booklet entitled "Understanding the Trinity; Evidence for God in Three Persons," Dr. Kennedy describes that the universe itself explains the Trinity.
Dr. Nathan Wood, formerly president of Gordon College of Theology and Missions, wrote a magnificent book, The Secret of the Universe. In it he spells out for us the result of years of searching in the natural realm for some kind of analogy that was correct for the Trinity. He finally came up with the universe itself.
It is right there in front of us.
We can never get away from it.
We ought to see it very clearly.
He points out that any man who manufactures anything or makes anything with his hands is going to inevitably leave his fingerprints upon it. If you were to create a table or chair or something in your workshop, it would contain your fingerprints.
Dr. Wood says that the universe is covered with fingerprints of the Trinity because it was made by the Triune God. The Bible says that the Father created the universe, the Son created the universe, and the Holy Spirit created the universe – the Triune God created the universe.
What does Dr. Wood mean by that? Well, there are fingerprints everywhere. We just don't see them.
I would suppose that there are literally millions of fingerprints in this very sanctuary. Did you see any today? Not a one. We are blind as a bat when it comes to fingerprints. We just don't see them. First of all, we're not looking for them. Now you might see them at home on a mirror or something like that, but ordinarily, we don't see fingerprints. However, if a detective were to come in here and begin to dust the wood on the pew in front of you, he would find thousands of them. So let's put on our Sherlock Holmes cap, get out our dusting brush, and see if we can see the fingerprints of Him who made all things. What does the universe consist of?
If you were to ask a scientist, he would tell you it consists of space, time, and matter. Now amazing to tell, we find all of those three things everywhere in the universe – not that we have a universe where some of them exist sometimes and not at other times. It is also true that each of the triune parts of the universe is, in itself, triune.
Let us look at each one of them. For example, consider space. What is space composed of? It is composed of length and breadth and height. Always. There is nothing you could name that is not composed of all three of those things. If you were to simply take a pencil and draw a line on a piece of paper, it would have length, it would have a little bit of width, and if you looked in a powerful microscope, you would discover it has quite a bit of height. You can't see it with your naked eye; however, it's always there.
Something that I think is amazing about this is that God always consists of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit – not one or the other. It is not a piece of the pie; it's the whole thing, always. Imagine a square block that a child would play with. Draw a picture of it in three dimensions. Then you could take that picture, and with a pencil and using all length, you could make a bunch of lines and fill in that entire block with nothing but length. I have done that sometimes in fancy lettering. Maybe some of you have as well. Or you could take the same block and make the whole thing out of width, or out of height. The fact of the matter is that it is all length, it's all breadth, it's all height all of the time. That's a perfect illustration of the Trinity.
Or take the matter of time. Of what does time consist? Obviously, it consists of the past, the present, and the future – those three. Any time we have ever known in this universe always consists of those three. Usually we have the idea that we come out of the past, that that really is first, because that is where we came from. The fact of the matter is, time comes from the future, and we meet it head on.
For example, today, yesterday was called tomorrow, and now it's today. A week ago it was called next week, and now it is today. A year ago, it was called next year. So as time approaches us and we move through it, that is what always happens. Anything is first in the future, then in the present, and then it disappears into the past. That is the way time always works. That in itself is an amazing story when you examine it carefully. Past, present, and future.
Dr. Nathan R. Wood gives a fascinating quote that is so remarkable I would like to share it with you. I would challenge you to try to see if you can follow his drift.
You are going to find out something some of you never knew before – that time, which you live by, which you look at constantly in the way of clocks you wind up every day, and which you make your lives run by, is an incredible illustration of the divine Trinity. (Note: To make this paragraph easier to read, I will post it in a prose format).
"The Future is the source.
The Future is unseen, unknown, except as it continually embodies itself and makes itself visible in the Present.
The Present is what we see, and hear, and know.
It is ceaselessly embodying the Future, day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment. It is perpetually revealing the Future, hitherto invisible.
For the Present exists as long as Time exists and was in the absolute beginning of Time.
The Present has existed as long as Time has existed.
Time acts through and in the Present.
It makes itself visible only in the Present.
The Future acts and reveals itself through the Present.
It is through the Present that Time, that the Future, enters into union with human life.
Time and humanity meet and unite in the Present.
It is the Present that Time, that the Future, becomes a part of human life, and so is born and lives and dies in human life.
The Past in turn comes from the Present.
We cannot say that it embodies the Present.
On the contrary, Time in issuing from the Present into the Past becomes invisible again.
The Present therefore comes out from the invisible Future.
The Present perpetually and ever-newly embodies the Future in visible, audible, livable form; and returns again into invisible Time in the Past.
It continually influences us with regard to the Present.
It casts light upon the Present.
That is its great function.
It helps us to live in the Present which we know, and with reference to the Future which we expect to see.
"That is an exact description of the way time operates. It is a perfect analogy. I'm using "analogy" not in the common sense of the word that something is like something or a simile or metaphor, but in the mathematical meaning of the word, which means it is an exact replica as far as every line, every angle, every corner is concerned.
Now let us replace the words. "Time" is replaced by "God"; the "Future" by the "Father"; the "Present" by the "Son"; and the "Past" by the "Holy Spirit" (every word the same but these four). You will see that perfect analogy and you will see the divine Trinity you have been swimming in all of your life!
"The Father is the source [every word the same, but those four].
The Father is unseen except as he continually embodies Himself and makes Himself visible in the Son.
The Son is what we see, and hear, and know.
He is ceaselessly embodying the Father, day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment.
He is perpetually revealing the Father, hitherto invisible.
The Father is logically first, but not chronologically, For the Son exists as long as God exists, and was in the absolute beginning of God.
The Son has existed as long as God has existed.
God acts through and in the Son.
He makes Himself visible only in the Son.
The Father acts and reveals Himself through the Son.
It is through the Son that God, that the Father, enters into union with human life.
God and humanity meet and unite in the Son.
It is in the Son that God, that the Father, becomes a part of human life, and so is born and lives and dies in human life.
The Spirit in turn comes from the Son.
We cannot say that He embodies the Son.
On the contrary God, in issuing from the Son into the Spirit, becomes invisible again.
The Spirit does not embody the Son.
The Son therefore comes out from the invisible Father.
The Son perpetually and ever-newly embodies the Father in visible, audible, livable form, and returns into invisible God in the Spirit.
He casts light upon the Son.
That is His great function.
Our Creator is so awesome!! He reveals Himself all around us….in the existence of the universe He created!
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heavens glory and will return again, to earth, to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make mankind aware of our need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual gifts, and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian's responsibility is to seek and to live under His will daily.

What Year Did The Beatles Break Up,Paul McCartney Reveals What Really Split Up the Beatles,When did the beatles officially break up|2020-05-25
The Beatles' Legend Lives On, 50 Years After Break-up …
In April, after a series of rancorous meetings between Klein, the Eastmans and the Beatles, Klein was appointed as the band's business manager on an interim basis, with the Eastmans as the Beatles' lawyers.The sessions marked the first appearance in the studio of Lennon's new domestic and artistic partner, Yoko Ono, who accompanied him to EMI Studios to work on Revolution 1 and who would thereafter be a more or less constant presence at all Beatles sessions.While this was partly indicative of the increased competition for space on album sides, with three songwriters in the band, Harrison's frustration fostered in him a sense of alienation from the Beatles.
Fifty Years Ago The Beatles Changed How Bands Broke Up
In February 1981, after another Far East tour, the band flew to Rio de Janeiro for the start of their first tour of South America.That same year McCartney, Harrison and Starr collaborated on the Anthology project.But looking back on it you think, 'The guy was totally in love with her and you've got to respect that.In May, Lennon and McCartney traveled to New York for the public unveiling of the Beatles' new business venture, Apple Corps.Finally, in November 1987, a trilogy of documentary-style videos was released, called The Magic Years.
The Story Behind The End Of The Beatles, On This Day In 1970
All the remaining material from the singles and EPs that had not appeared on these thirteen studio albums was gathered on the two-volume compilation Past Masters (1988).Brian had some basic ideas to work on, but it was generally a lengthy jam session.When "Get Back" was eventually revived, Lennon – behind McCartney's back – brought in American producer Phil Spector, best known for girl group hits like "Be My Baby," to salvage the project.They did, however, write some still-incredible music as solo artists.McCartney even credited his former band mate's widow for her creative inspiration, which led to Lennon writing the legendary tune "Imagine.

Now it was going to take an eighty-seven-page document to dissolve.A week after its release, November 13, comes the release of Ultimate Queen, a deluxe box set of 20 Queen albums presented in a wall mounted presentation case.The coroner ruled the death an accidental carbitol overdose, although it was widely rumoured to be a suicide.Ultimately, what would be their final live performance was filmed on the rooftop of the Apple Corps building at 3 Savile Row, London, on 30 January 1969.On November 23rd, Freddie announced to the world that he had AIDS.
And I'm not interested in that, or in playing with the old team again.The Beatles were an English rock band consisting of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr from August 1962 to September 1969.The last time all four were together was in the recording of "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" during the Abbey Road sessions." He also takes issue with how the fame went to McCartney's head.Between 1976 and 1982, EMI/Capitol released a wave of compilation albums without input from the ex-Beatles, starting with the double-disc compilation Rock 'n' Roll Music.
What Year Did The Beatles Break Up…? | Yahoo Answers
By the end of 1968, the Beatles' status as a group entity was in limbo.Brian had some basic ideas to work on, but it was generally a lengthy jam session.On 11 February 1963, the Beatles recorded ten songs during a single studio session for their debut LP, Please Please Me.Please Please Me maintained the top position on the Record Retailer chart for 30 weeks, only to be displaced by its follow-up, With the Beatles, which EMI released on 22 November to record advance orders of 270,000 copies.Unterberger considers it a fitting swan song for the group, containing some of the greatest harmonies to be heard on any rock record.More arguments and court cases followed.

The House Oversight and Reform Committee is the main investigative panel. Glowimages / Getty Images
What Would a GOP Takeover of the House Mean for the Oversight Committee?
The chair-in-waiting for the once "sleepy" committee would like to investigate COVID-19's origins, the Biden administration's border policies and the president's family members.
With a potential Republican takeover of the House in the midterm elections comes subpoena power, agenda setting and the opening of the floodgates of investigations into the Biden administration. This is especially true for the House Oversight and Reform Committee, the principal investigations committee that has broad jurisdiction and an eager chair-in-waiting.
"I'm cautiously optimistic that we'll flip the House and that I'll become the chairman of the oversight committee," Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., ranking member of the Oversight and Reform Committee, told Government Executive in a recent phone interview. "When that happens, we want to hit the ground running."
House Republican leadership elections will take place the week after Election Day. Comer is largely viewed as the contender for oversight chair, although others could run. Those close to the president are reportedly not super worried about the possible onslaught of investigations.
A Once "Sleepy" Committee
The Oversight and Reform committee is the main investigative committee in the House of Representatives and is authorized to look into the topics within its legislative jurisdiction––the federal civil service, government management, public information and recordkeeping, the District of Columbia's municipal affairs, the Postal Service and the census, for instance––and any matters within other standing committees' jurisdiction.
Don Kettl, former dean of the University of Maryland's School of Public Policy and former professor at the LBJ School at the University of Texas at Austin, said he anticipates that if the Republicans win back the House, they will ramp up investigations into the Biden administration, especially to "score political points" in the lead up to the 2024 presidential election campaign. Much of Congress' oversight has become political, so you have to question the motivations of those involved with it, he said.
The oversight committee "was at one time a fairly sleepy committee looking at issues of the civil service and government performance and basic other issues of government management," Kettl said. "Members from the D.C. area often would seek a seat on the committee because it would provide a way for them to weigh in on civil service questions in dealing with their constituents."
But "that's changing as you can see now with [Rep.] Marjorie Taylor Greene [R-Ga.] saying in advance of what Republicans hope will be a takeover that she wants a seat on the committee," Kettl noted. Greene, a member of the far-right wing of the Republican party, has been a polarizing figure.
Kettl said he doesn't expect much legislation that would affect government management and operations to be enacted the next two years between either a divided Congress or the Democrats having a very slim majority. "Everything will be in the shadow of what's coming down the road," meaning the 2024 campaign. Control of the Senate remains a toss-up.
Consistent with historical precedent, all House committees spent less time conducting oversight of the executive branch during the current, 117th, Congress when the House, Senate and White House were controlled by the same party, as opposed to under a divided government during the 116th Congress in 2019 and 2020, said an analysis from the Brookings Institution published on October 21. "This trend—consistent with historical evidence—suggests that a return to a partisan split between the House and the White House in 2023 would likely bring a resurgence of oversight activity targeted at the Biden administration."
The Chair-in-Waiting's Plans
Comer said he thinks of the committee's work in two buckets, the first being "traditional oversight," as in rooting out waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government.
"I'm very passionate about trying to shrink the size of government and eliminate unnecessary spending, reform programs that need to be reformed and even programs that need to be ended," said Comer, echoing a familiar Republican refrain. He said this will be a priority for his committee, specifically through the subcommittees, so they can support the American taxpayers. He has suggested committee members Reps. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., and Yvette Herrell, R-N.M., would be subcommittee chairs and he has floated adding Greene to the committee, according to previous reports.
When asked how he plans to shrink programs and rein in spending with a potentially divided Congress and a Democrat still in the White House, he acknowledged there will be compromises and said, "I know that in an appropriations process, I'm not going to get everything I want, but I do believe that we can make some progress."
The second bucket is investigations.
Comer said he and his members have been working for months to gather information "to really come out of the gate strong in three major areas of investigations." These are: the origins of COVID-19; the "disaster" at the U.S.-Mexico border; and alleged "influence peddling" by Hunter Biden, the president's son, as well as Jim Biden, the president's brother.
When asked if there are any issues he thinks he can work with the Democrats on, he named the origins of COVID, fraud in the pandemic relief programs and "a lot of contracts, big contracts, especially in the Pentagon, that are probably not in the best interest of the American taxpayers."
With respect to the politicization of oversight, he said everything the committee does "is going to be credible and factual, and we're not going to mislead the American people." Comer added he believes Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, "has done more to harm the credibility of congressional investigations than any member in the history of the U.S. Congress… I think that you've got to restore credibility to the oversight committee and hopefully that'll start with me in January." Schiff's office did not respond for comment.
Over the summer, Comer blasted the Democrats for failing to conduct proper oversight of the federal government and said it was "not surprising" they received an "F" for their oversight from the Lugar Center, a nonprofit that works to advance bipartisan governance.
According to Politico, "there is a growing confidence both in and outside the White House that the Republicans who are readying a smorgasbord of investigations will end up overreaching and that the probes will ultimately boomerang to Democrats' political benefit." While the White House has been preparing for possible Republican investigations since 2020 "the efforts have accelerated since veteran D.C. lawyer Dick Sauber joined the administration in May as special counsel focusing on oversight, with Ian Sams managing comms," Politico said. "Sauber's team is likely to grow once a clearer picture of the political landscape emerges after the midterms."
The White House declined to comment on Government Executive's questions about Comer's plans.
"Democrats on the oversight committee remain focused on addressing the issues that impact Americans' everyday lives, like growing the economy, keeping Americans safe from gun violence, and protecting women's right to choose," a committee spokesperson for the Democrats told Government Executive. "Republicans have made clear that they plan to continue attacking President Biden and his family to score cheap political points and distract from their extreme, unpopular agenda that most Americans reject."
With the current committee chair Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., leaving Congress next year, several Democrats are already vying for the leadership spot in that party.
The House Select Subcommittee on the COVID Crisis, which was created in April 2020, is also a part of the House Oversight and Reform Committee and Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La, ranking member of the panel and House minority whip, has been sharing what Republicans hope to do if they are victorious in the midterms.
"Since the pandemic's start, Republican leaders and former President Trump have gone out of their way to attack, demonize and discredit our nation's public health officials," said Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C. chair of the panel and House majority whip. "The select subcommittee has released volumes of evidence detailing the Trump administration's politically-motivated interference in public health agencies during this time." Clyburn criticized the memo the Republican staff released on October 19 following a report the Democrats released on how Trump officials sought to undermine the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention early on in the pandemic.
"The ongoing Republican attacks on science and public health are among the many reasons why, in less than two weeks, the American people will deliver control of both chambers of Congress to Democrats to build on the progress we have made in the past two years," Clyburn said.
Comer, who first came to Congress in November 2016, was endorsed by former President Trump in May who said, "as the lead Republican on the oversight committee, Jamie is fighting hard to hold Joe Biden and the Radical Left accountable for failing the American people, from covering up Hunter Biden's blatant corruption to botching their abysmal withdrawal from Afghanistan."
If the Republicans win the House in the midterms, it won't just be Comer's committee conducting oversight. For example, the House Judiciary Committee with a possible Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, at the helm could ramp up investigations into the FBI and Justice Department as well as the FBI's search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort over the summer. Overall, House Republicans have been briefing staffers on conducting oversight, according to PunchBowl News.
Also, one of the pillars of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's "Commitment to America" agenda that he rolled out in September as a rallying cry and blueprint if his party regains the majority, is government accountability. Many are comparing it to Newt Gingrich's 1994 "Contract with America."
"House Republicans have put the Biden administration on notice—with more than 500 requests for information and documents," the agenda reads. "When backed by subpoena power, the American people will finally get some of the answers they deserve."

IRS Tax Liens—A security placed on your property or real estate, a tax lien is one of the many strategies the IRS uses in order to secure payment for your tax debt. While the size of the lien and other details are determined by the amount you owe, the consequences of a tax lien can be severe to say the least. You see, tax liens become public record and show up on your credit report, so they can prevent you from obtaining loans or even opening a bank account. What's more, a tax lien typically extends to any property you acquire while continuing to pay off your tax debts, making it impossible to refinance or sell the property until the amount is paid in full. Since 1986, America's Hometown Tax Service, LLC, has been dealing with the rippling effects of IRS tax liens. Trust me, Jeffrey Simpson, a Fellow of the National Tax Practice Institute, to intercede on your behalf in order to determine the best course of action for IRS tax relief.
IRS Wage Garnishment—For individuals already struggling to make ends meet, IRS garnishment of wages can be especially devastating. Under this harsh type of tax penalty, the federal government has the authority to make regular, automatic deductions from your paycheck for as long as you owe your tax debt. That could mean years of lost wages, crippling your ability to cover your monthly bills and everyday expenses. If you're feeling the crush of an IRS garnishment, contact me today. I'll work out a way to help you pay back your debt and still be entitled to your full compensation.
IRS Tax Levies—Perhaps the most threatening weapon in the IRS arsenal for collecting an outstanding tax debt, a tax levy allows the authorities to legally seize your property and assets, including vehicles, real estate, even bank accounts. This is the IRS's final enforcement and is the result of an unsuccessful tax lien. If you've received a summons indicating an impending tax levy, the clock is ticking. Call me now to get started on a plan that can set your taxes straight before you lose your car, your cash, and possibly even your home.
After 25 years at the helm of America's Hometown Tax Service, LLC, I understand the circumstances that can lead to tax debt. More importantly, whatever your reasons for being in arrears, I know what needs to be done when tax penalties have been incurred. So don't make your financial situation any worse than it is already. From looming IRS garnishment and tax liens to impending summons and seizures, trust me to help allay your worries and get you back on the road to IRS tax relief.


The Museum of Music of the Peoples documents the music, techniques and expressive forms of music production in relation to specific cultural, religious and social contexts in the historical and geographical characters and multicultural perspectives. The museum includes a permanent exhibition of musical instruments, representative of cultivated and popular traditions of the world, retracing the routes of music in migrations, explorations, encounters, commercial and cultural exchanges. These are not objects on display, but rather core elements of an acoustic research, with exhibitions of a general or thematic nature, filled with sounds and images, texts and videos from the five continents.
The Museum of Music of the Peoples also hosts numerous and diverse proposals, an active music centre with a program of musical events, workshops and educational activities, conferences and conventions, offering multiple direct participation tools for the dissemination, knowledge and deepening of the music of the peoples of the world.
The Museum will offer workshops and training courses, conferences and seminars, guided tours and laboratories.
New music and acoustic worlds while respecting the different traditions. Music becomes the meeting point for artists from different countries, with a cultural and religious heritage so diverse that sometimes resulted in conflicts throughout history. Languages, genres and instruments blend, approaching distant (not only geographically) worlds and realities, with a message and emotion of coexistence and peace, in a balance between past and present. The cultural diversity of indigenous peoples, custodians of the lands of their ancestors, and the search for denied identity and rights are an intangible heritage of voices, sounds and musical instruments.
From the steppes of Central Asia to the Amazon rainforest, from the Arctic peoples and Australian Aborigines to Native Americans and pygmies, from Tibet to the Pacific islands, "natives" have witnessed secular and global transformation processes that deserve respect and recognition of belonging. Memory and musical traditions are imprinted in the use of seeds and wood, metal and leather, as acoustic evidence of peoples and languages. In considering the musical heritage of a country, geographic region or ethnic group as a product of and means for interactions and integrations to overcome socio-cultural barriers, the Museum of Music of the Peoples has an interdisciplinary nature with the aim to deepen and develop over time the different origins of musical traditions, as well as recent trends resulting from inevitable contaminations.

Posted on July 10, 2019 by Holly Keys
A key principal of workplace health and safety is for workers be given the highest level of reasonable protection in specific circumstances.
Falls from civil construction equipment can result in serious injury or even death. Plant operators and service personnel are therefore placed in a position of risk when adequate safety measures and equipment are not in place.
For Australian safety electronics manufacturer, Hummingbird Electronics, clear messaging presents a number of safety solutions to help operators build on, and improve, the warning systems already in place in their machinery. Part of the Redarc Electronics group since May 2015, Hummingbird specialises in bespoke sensor products focussed on driver safety, both for trucks and construction equipment operators in the Australian civil construction and transport market.
Hummingbird National Sales and Marketing Manager, Mark Bruce, says the company's products encompass all aspects of driver safety, measuring everything from temperature, pitch and roll, through to speed and force of a vehicle or machine.
"Hummingbird Electronics offers a range of vehicle stability monitoring devices including inclinometers and tilt switches, focussed on improving safety, based on dual axis tilt and roll sensing of mobile machines," Mr. Bruce says.
"Our products can be the difference between a near miss and an accident, which is why Hummingbird are excited to announce our new product, the Integrated Compact Inclinometer (HMDS0400)."
Drawing from past Inclinometer technology, the new device incorporates an integrated accelerometer, or tilt sensor, into the compact colour display.
"Like all units in our range of tilt safety equipment, the HMDS0400 provides machinery operators with a configurable and highly visible pitch-and-roll measurement display," Mr. Bruce says.
"What makes the HMDS0400 unique is the incorporation of the accelerometer into the physical unit – doing away with the sometimes cumbersome externally mounted sensor."
Hummingbird Electronics consults with equipment suppliers to the transport and mining sectors to identify opportunities for new, innovative products. This is how Hummingbird developed the HMDS0400 concept, says Mr. Bruce.
"Our team identified a gap in the market for smaller machinery operations. Companies didn't want to scrimp on safety, but existing Inclinometer devices were large and difficult to manage on small equipment," Mr. Bruce says.
"We established that there was a market for a new product. It is designed and manufactured in Australia using in-house and outsourced resources."
According to Mr. Bruce, the HMDS0400 inclinometer is suitable for small machinery applications, such as those associated with material handling, civil earthmoving and agriculture.
"These types of applications often inherit a high centre of gravity, which means a large portion of their weight is carried high up off the operating surface," Mr. Bruce says.
"When this is combined with uneven or stable work surfaces, it can cause the machine to be vulnerable to rollovers."
The Integrated Compact Inclinometer works to reduce the risk of rollover by alerting operators if a dangerous pre-determined angle has been reached. This allows users to take the necessary precautions and steps to avoid the accident, which improves both the driver's and machinery safety.
"The Integrated device requires no external sensor and will update pitch-and-roll measurements 10 times each second," says Mr. Bruce.
"Additionally, the easy-to-follow integrated menu allows for a fast interpretation of pitch-and-roll angles in either degrees or per cent gradients."
According to Mr. Bruce, the unit also allows for flexible and cost-effective installation.
"The HMDS0400 is powered by simply plugging the unit into a cigarette lighter socket or directly hard wiring to machine power," Mr. Bruce says.
"The full-colour display of the unit can be positioned in a range of orientations allowing it to be customised to suit any individual need."
Furthermore, the Integrated Compact Inclinometer's alert system features multiple alert thresholds and buzzer levels.
"This product provides customisation of sensor response times to allow maximum flexibility in various applications, such as vehicles travelling along rough surfaces, which could be susceptible to false triggers," Mr. Bruce says. "Due to the size and integrated compact design, the HMDS0400 makes for an inexpensive and cost-effective OH&S initiative.

Press TV's Hashemi due in US court on Friday
PressTV - Iran
The 59-year-old US citizen, who is based in Iran, was detained as a "material witness" to a criminal case and no charges were pressed against her, according to Hossein Hashemi, her elder son.
The US law defines a material witness as a person who is presumed to have information about the subject matter of a lawsuit or criminal prosecution, which is critical to the outcome of the case or trial.
Ms. Hashemi was taken into custody on Sunday in St. Louis, Missouri, where she had filmed a Black Lives Matter documentary.
FBI agents apprehended the Press TV journalist upon arrival at St Louis Lambert International Airport, before she boarded a flight to Denver, her son said.
PressTV-'Jailed Press TV anchor's children subpoenaed to testify'
Journalist Marzieh Hashemi's son says his mother has been incarcerated in a facility in the United States without any charges.
Suzanne Nossel, CEO of the PEN America group promoting literature and free expression, says she is concerned Hashemi might have been targeted for her documentary work on the Black Lives Matter movement or for political reasons.
"If there are other grounds for Hashemi's detention they must be made clear, otherwise she should be released immediately," Nossel added.
PressTV-IFJ urges clarification on Hashemi's detention in US
The International Federation of Journalists expresses its serious concern over the detention of Press TV news presenter Marzieh Hashemi in the US.
Hashemi's son had told Press TV that he and his siblings had also received subpoenas to appear before a grand jury in DC.

The Iranian television news network releases a statement about the situation of its anchorwoman Marzieh Hashemi who is being held in a US detention center.
She told her daughter that she was handcuffed and shackled and was being treated like a criminal.
The journalist also said that she had her hijab forcibly removed, and was photographed without her headscarf upon arrival at the prison.
The FBI has so far refused to comment on the arrest of Hashemi, who was born Melanie Franklin in New Orleans and has been living in Iran for 25 years.

alcoholism: Treatment
The treatment of alcoholism depends on how far the disease has progressed. Treatment typically begins with professional advice or self-motivation to abstain, often coupled with medical efforts to achieve sobriety. In the presence of withdrawal symptoms, antianxiety drugs such as benzodiazepines may be prescribed. A next step is often enrollment in a treatment program suitable to the severity of the disease and patient's social stability. Residential programs offer a supportive atmosphere and a structured environment in which the patient can begin to learn how to restructure his or her life and develop new habits. Many programs educate the family as well, alerting them to patterns within the family that may have enabled the patient to keep drinking. Because alcoholism is a chronic recurring and relapsing disease, treatment programs are usually followed by membership in a support group such as Alcoholics Anonymous.
Medical treatment to help ensure continued sobriety includes self-administration of drugs such as Antabuse, which produces severe discomfort if present in the system when alcohol is consumed. Naltrexone, a drug formerly used in heroin abuse, and acamprosate are also now approved for use in the treatment of alcoholism. Naltrexone minimizes both the craving for alcohol and the high produced by its consumption. Acamprosate reduces the craving for alcohol in people who have stopped drinking. In addition to these standard treatments, many alcoholics are aided by alternative treatments such as acupuncture and hypnosis.

Hunting is by far the largest funding mechanism for wildlife, and the economic benefits go far beyond conservation.
By Shane Mahoney
http://www.sportsafield.com/content/economic-colossus
Gifford Pinchot, first chief of the United States Forest Service and the twenty-eighth governor of Pennsylvania, famously declared, "Unless we practice conservation, those who come after us will have to pay the price of misery, degradation, and failure for the progress and prosperity of our day."
While many of us now accept the truth in this, it is imperative we also recognize that conservation is not free. There is a price to pay for the management, protection, and enjoyment of our natural world. Wildlife abundance is no accident, and it isn't free, either. Somebody, somewhere, pays the bills.
While there are many institutions that play a role in conservation, state agencies in the United States are on the front lines. Yet, despite the fact that the average U.S. state wildlife agency requires a budget of $40 million annually to operate, it seems the American public remains largely unaware or indifferent to the costs of conservation. Citizens certainly benefit from the conservation services state agencies provide, but seldom is there public recognition for how the agency staff and programs are funded. It is time this was recognized.
The current system of funding for U.S. state conservation programs relies heavily, though not exclusively, on expenditures by hunters, and anglers. On average, more than half a state agency's budget comes directly from sales of hunting and fishing licenses or other user fees. How much money are we talking about? Well, in 2015, there were approximately 35 million hunting licenses, tags, permits, and stamps sold in the United States at a cumulative cost of $821 million. The great bulk of this money went to conservation, in one form or another.
It is true that approximately one-quarter of the average state wildlife agency's budget comes from federal funding. However, this funding is almost entirely provided by the Pittman-Robertson Act (Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937), which imposes an 11 percent excise tax on the sale of firearms and ammunition products. Since 1939, $10.1 billion of these tax dollars has been awarded to states in support of conservation initiatives. When combined with contributions derived from angler taxes via the dedicated Dingell-Johnson Act of 1950 and the Wallop-Breaux Amendment of 1984, this number increases to an impressive $18 billion dollars in direct funding for state conservation efforts. Can anyone name any other source of conservation dollars that even approaches this?
But that is not the end of the story. Tax contributions and user fees aside, it is estimated that American hunters contribute an additional $400 million dollars per year to wildlife conservation through membership dues and donations to organizations like DSC, the Wild Sheep Foundation, Pheasants Forever, Quail Forever, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and many others.
No other country in the world has such conservation funding mechanisms in place. Nor does the United States itself have an alternative mechanism to replace these funding sources, should they decline or disappear. This is not to say that other citizens do not financially support conservation; they certainly do. What it does say, however, is that hunters (and anglers) make enormous contributions and have been doing so for a very long time. This fact ought to be acknowledged, if for no other reason than to provide insights as to how other communities might be incentivized to financially support wildlife conservation programs.
While the numbers quoted are impressive, the economic significance of hunting and angling extends far beyond conservation itself. Overall, hunting in the United States generates $25 billion dollars in retail sales and more than $17 billion dollars in salaries and wages each year, while creating sales tax, and state and federal income tax revenues for government agencies and public services of all kinds. American hunters spend $5.3 billion dollars each year on hunting-related travel, $6.4 billion on hunting equipment, and $8.4 billion on other, related, "big-ticket" items. All things combine for an annual expenditure of $2,800 per hunter. Economic multipliers may be used to estimate the compound rippling effect of these expenditures, showing an economic impact of more than $86.9 billion dollars a year to the U.S. economy.
These numbers are incredible, of course, and comparisons with other economic drivers help put them in perspective. The Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation reports that sportsmen and women spend $605 million a year on hunting dogs, which is more than skiers spend on ski equipment, and that the annual federal income tax revenue generated by hunter spending could cover the annual salaries of 100,000 U.S. Army troops. Between 2006 and 2011, USFWS reports that the number of hunters in the U.S. increased by 9 percent. However, in the same time frame, spending on hunting-related products and services grew by more than 30 percent. As an economic driver, therefore, hunting is actually growing in importance. Even following September 11, 2001, when the U.S. travel industry was in dire straits, hunters spent a remarkable $276 million dollars on lodging alone. The National Shooting Sports Foundation reports that if hunting were a company, the amount spent by American sportsmen and women to support their activities would make it number 73 on the Fortune 500 list. Hunting, by any standard, is not only personally important in the lives of millions of U.S. citizens; it is big business.
But don't be blinded by the statistics. This economic activity has real consequences for real people. In fact, hunting related activities and services annually employ more than 600,000 Americans. These jobs are often created in rural areas where employment opportunities may be limited. In some rural areas, dollars spent by sportsmen and women during hunting and fishing seasons can be enough to keep small businesses operational for another year. By doing so, these traditional activities remain the lifeblood for many small towns and businesses across America today.
The American traditions of hunting and angling fuel an enormous economic engine of tremendous value to conservation as well as to the socioeconomic well-being of the nation. True, these pursuits are not for everyone. Yet, whether one supports these activities or not, it is important to recognize the contributions they make and to appreciate that we have yet to devise any alternative funding sources that can replace them. Indeed, our pursuit of such new funding sources ought to reflect our conservation commitments and thus we should seek to add to the benefits of this economic colossus, not replace it. In a world challenged by human population growth and climate change, wildlife conservation is becoming more expensive, not less. We need to increase our conservation efforts; not just maintain the status quo. To do so will require a greater effort by a wider community of citizens dedicated to never losing our priceless wildlife heritage.

My Six Convicts
My Six Convicts is an American 1952 comedy-drama film adapted from the autobiographical book written by Donald Powell Wilson (titled "My Six Convicts: A Psychologist's Three Years in Fort Leavenworth"). The film was adapted for the screen by Michael Blankfort and directed by Hugo Fregonese.

While vintage prints of Wilson's text can be found online,[2] the film adaptation has never seen a home video release. As such, it has almost faded into obscurity, and it is primarily remembered for Millard Mitchell having won a Golden Globe Award for his performance as Connie.
My Six Convicts is the true story of a prison psychologist (John Beal) and his attempts to get through to his incarcerated patients. While dealing with serious issues, the film was created in comedic form. While the film is true to the overall spirit of the book, dramatic license was taken with the adaptation and certain events (e.g., the failed prison break and the resulting death of an innocent inmate) are fictional and were created solely to add dramatic elements to the film.

The following error message "Streaming result set com.mysql.jdbc.RowDataDynamic@XXXXXX is still active. No statements may be issued when any streaming result sets are open and in use on a given connection. Ensure that you have called .close() on any active streaming result sets before attempting more queries" comes from MySQL.
The reason for this lies in the streaming mode of MySQL. Streaming mode is the fastest way to get data from MySQL, and Data Virtuality uses this mode to transfer the data.
However, streaming mode has one limitation: When a resultset is open in streaming mode on a MySQL connection, you cannot use that same database connection to run other queries. This is exactly what the error message above tells. The solution to the problem would be to change the MySQL connection settings to use CursorFetch mode instead of Streaming mode.
CursorFetch is the second quickest read method for MySQL. The difference is that with Streaming mode the server tries to start getting the data to the consumer immediately, on CursorFetch it fills the buffer first and then serves the data from the buffer. On very large data sets there will be some initial delay until MySQL starts getting you the data in CursorFetch mode, but the difference is usually quite negligible for any practical purpose.

Bronzeville - Little Tokyo, Los Angeles
About Bronzeville
Fletcher Bowron
Fletcher Bowron, mayor of Los Angeles from 1938 to 1953, succumbed to mass hysteria and lobbied to get Japanese Americans removed from Southern California for fear that a Pearl Harbor type attack would occur in Los Angeles.
A confidential memo indicates that Bowron's office discussed the idea of incarcerating Japanese Americans as early as January 1942. While logistics were hashed out, Bowron's office embarked on a propaganda campaign to convince the Japanese Americans in Los Angeles that 1) Japan was overtaken by the Nazis; 2) even a single act of sabotage would have dire consequences for all Japanese Americans; and 3) loyalty could only be measured by informing on alleged disloyals.
At the same time, all Los Angeles City employees of Japanese descent were forced to take a leave of absence.
Bowron knew there would be constitutional problems with any mass detention of Americans of Japanese descent. Before becoming mayor, Bowron had practiced law and served as a judge on the Superior Court of Los Angeles County for six years.
Bowron wrote to the Los Angeles Bar Association, requesting them to form a committee comprised of bar members and constitutional law professors to study a congressional action he wanted to submit.
Bowron's plan proposed that anyone, who held dual citizenship with a country that was at war with the United States and are descendants of immigrants not entitled to U.S. citizenship, was governed by the laws of that foreign nation and had no rights as U.S. citizens; but that the U.S. government had the power to circumvent the Selective Service Act and call these people into non-combat military service, regardless of physical qualification, age or sex. Bowron wanted this ratified as a constitutional amendment.
During this time, Bowron met with various representatives from the Department of Justice, Navy and Army, including with Lt. Gen. John DeWitt, who played a huge role in getting Japanese Americans incarcerated.
By February 1942, Bowron made several public radio announcements on station KECA, urging the mass removal of Japanese Americans.
On a February 19, 1942 — the same day that President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which gave the military the authority to exclude anyone from anywhere — Bowron made a radio broadcast suggesting the Parker Indian Reservation on the Arizona side of the Colorado River as a possible detention site for Japanese Americans.
Bowron mailed a formal Parker Indian Reservation site proposal on Feb. 20,1942, to Congressman Costello and Tom C. Clark, special assistant to the Attorney General. It is not clear how much weight Bowron's proposal had in the government's final decision to open the Colorado River Relocation Center, more commonly known as the Poston War Relocation Authority (WRA) camp, where at its peak population, the camp held more than 17,800 Japanese Americans.
It is obvious, however, that Bowron's recommendation to close the Mannzanar WRA site due to competing water supplies with Los Angeles residents fell on deaf ears.
Bowron's correspondences and KECA radio announcements disregard historical racism that shaped every facet of Japanese American life — from immigration to birthing patterns to the inability to secure professional jobs. Instead, everything the Japanese American did came under suspicion.
In a Feb. 20, 1940 letter to Tom C. Clark special assistant to the Attorney General, Bowron writes in part:
"Incidentally, I have also been advised that the Japanese on Terminal Island in addition to owning and operating 300 or more passenger automobiles have approximately 40 trucks, some as large as three ton capacity. These trucks have ostensibly been used to carry produce and other articles from the Los Angeles market. All of this automotive equipment could, of course, be put to good advantage in connection with the carrying out of any hostile plan of attack."
"I have also been getting information as to the extensive automotive equipment owned by Japanese in this and other sections of the state. I am told that many of the farmers along the coast who have for years been doing all work by hand, bending over rows of vegetables and berries, have within the last few years purchased large numbers of tractors. Tractors, of course, could be readily utilized in pulling heavy war equipment from the beaches in the event of a troop landing."
—Bowron to Clark, Feb. 20, 1942
(Huntington Library, Bowron Papers, Box 52)
In 1943, a year after the mass eviction and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the government began releasing the Japanese Americans after concluding that the vast majority posed no problems.
However, Bowron, in a June 2, 1943, KECA radio broadcast vehemently opposed the return of Japanese Americans to Southern California and alluded that there could be an outbreak of violence. Bowron felt that the very fact that there had been no Japanese American sabotage meant, they should still be under scrutiny.
"This is evidenced by the statement of Dillon S. Myer, head of the relocation authority, who is quoted as saying, in justification for the release of Japanese, that there have been no acts of sabotage, and not one single instance of disloyal activity has been reported among those that have thus far been released. Of course, there has not. The Japanese are too smart for that."
— Bowron broadcast on KECA, Wednesday, June 2, 1943, 7:45 p.m.
Earlier, on May 26, 1943, Bowron made a KECA statement where he publicly said that Japanese Americans should have their United States citizenship revoked.
"Now I am going to endeavor to demonstrate that the suggestion of depriving native-born Japanese of citizenship will not affect other minority groups and is not based on race prejudice, but solidly on legal principles and in accordance with fundamental American rights. I feel that there are not and never can be such a thing as Japanese-Americans. They are all Japanese, wherever born, and they can never be Americans—as we want to know and feel the term "American." The claim of Japanese born in this country to be regarded as American citizens under the United States Constitution hangs by a very narrow legal thread, one of legal interpretations, upon which the best legal minds differ, an interpretation which could be changed, in my opinion, by an act of Congress, without a constitutional amendment.…
"My answer to the question, 'Do you feel that the Japanese born in this country should be deprived of 'citizenship' is 'Yes.' I repeat 'Yes,' even though there are apparently some well meaning American citizens who would like to embrace the Japanese as brothers."
—Bowron broadcast on KECA, Wednesday, May 26, 1943, 7:45 p.m.
Years after the war, Bowron admitted his regrets and downplayed his actions in advocating the mass detention of Japanese Americans.
