Last week the Court of Appeal dismissed a challenge to Waitemata District Health Board's (WDHB's) smoke-free policy. The policy prohibits smoking on any WDHB premises, including in mental health intensive care units (MHICUs) where patients are unable to leave the premises and smoke off-site.
The policy was challenged by a former psychiatric patient who argued that the policy was unlawful as it was inconsistent with the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act, and that it breached his (and other patients') rights under the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act (NZBORA).
The Court of Appeal disagreed, finding that the total smoking ban imposed by WDHB on all hospital sites was lawful, represented a reasonable response to a pressing social need to reduce the incidence of smoking and second-hand smoke, and was consistent with the requirements of good medical practice. It also found that the policy did not breach the rights and freedoms provided for in the NZBORA.
International medical practice supports the implementation of the smoke-free policy. Evidence was given at the hearing that "total smoking bans are now standard practice in many inpatient mental health facilities in Australia and across the world."
Although the Smoke-free Environments Act provides a discretion for hospitals to permit smoking if certain criteria are met, this discretion "cannot be converted into a mandatory obligation to do so", and it "does not give rise to a right, or legitimate expectation, to be able to smoke on WDHB premises."
While "DHBs generally must seek to uphold ethical and quality standards commonly expected of providers of health services…how they meet those standards in respect of a particular class of patients…will be a matter of professional and clinical judgment." The Court reiterated a long-standing principle that such professional judgment may not be open to judicial review, commenting that "Courts are rightly cautious about intervening in substantive matters of clinical, medical and ethical judgment by a statutory entity tasked by Parliament to deliver public health services."
the Court agreed with the High Court's comment that: "in the context of a hospital environment, those who are in that environment have to accept limitations on their privacy and their ability to do what they want."
Throughout the decision, the Court gave WDHB credit for a "careful and considered process" in implementing the policy. It recognised that the policy was the result of many years of planning (between 2000 and 2009), and that it was "trialled by the WDHB over a considerable period of time." As part of that planning WDHB had considered whether dedicated smoking rooms were required for patients who were not able to leave the grounds, and had consulted on this point with mental health consumers, services and staff (despite such consultation not being specifically required by statute).
The lawyer acting for the appellant has indicated that the decision may be appealed to the Supreme Court.

Comeymas…another smokin' dud for the ridiculous LeftMedia asswipes. I could not be more pleased. Watching them suffer yet another righteous rogering in their evil quest to undo the last election and destroy everything decent about America is so damned satisfying. Let's do it some more.
Testicomey shat upon his own codpiece. Bring it thou pragging, urchin-snouted boy-quellers!
One hopes the little crumb-cruncher peed on Santa's lap.
It was priceless seeing pictures of the viewing parties in NYC bars.
Left wing losers, waiting for the bomb to drop that would take out Trump, and not only did it never happen, but Comey bombed himself!
I think it'll get even better. I sure hope, anyway.
Keep a good thought, and watch the hearings. It's sure to get interesting when the REAL conservatives get to question him!


Domestic abuse can have a significant effect on adults, but for children, the effects of abuse can be even more devastating. Children who are victims of abuse and children who witness abuse may develop psychological, emotional, cognitive and behavioral problems.
If you know of a child who is a victim of abuse, here are some resources for abused children in Bellevue. Of course, if a child is in imminent danger, call 9-1-1 right away and request emergency services.
One of the best resources that an adult should contact – in fact, the first resource an adult should contact for child abuse help – is the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services to report the abuse. You can contact the DSHS at the numbers below.
Youth Eastside Services, or YES, provides youth and family counseling, violence prevention services, success mentoring, and more to both children and teens in Bellevue. YES provides counseling and support for young ones and families who are coping with abuse, violence, and emotional issues. You can contact YES at the following phone number and address.
A child who witnessed domestic violence or was a victim of physical or sexual abuse may benefit from therapy following the abuse. You can find a full list of child and adolescent therapists in Bellevue by visiting the Psychology Today website.
The website provides a summary of the type of therapy each specialist performs, accepted insurance plans, average cost of a session, contact information, education and experience, and specialties.
LifeWire provides resources for both adults and children who are victims of abuse. Serving King County, services include housing programs, shelter services, a 24-hour helpline, advocacy services, children and teen groups, counseling services, education and training, women's support groups, legal advocacy and a Latina outreach program. You can contact LifeWire today at the following 24-hour helpline number.
If you are a parent, the resources and child abuse organizations listed above can be a great place to start seeking care and treatment for your child who's been a victim of abuse. Other parents, group members and professionals can recommend literature, playgroups and family support groups in your area. A school psychologist also may be a great resource for making certain recommendations, such as which literature might to appropriate for an abused child to read. Also consult a domestic abuse attorney if you require legal help, such as pursuing a divorce from an abusive spouse.
If you are attempting to flee a violent home life, need help filing for divorce, or otherwise need legal help, contact the Law Offices of Molly B. Kenny. We know that there is nothing scarier than domestic violence and that there is nothing more tragic than knowing a child is the victim of abuse.

New study identifies Nigeria as leading seed hub in Western and Central Africa
Nigeria's Value Seeds tops Access to Seeds Index for Western and Central Africa
Growing number of local companies is positive, but too few currently do plant breeding
Open-pollinated varieties dominate field crops, except for maize where hybrid varieties lead
[IMAGE 0]
Nigeria-based Value Seeds tops the rankings in new research on seed companies operating in Western and Central Africa. However, the overall picture is one of international and African seed companies falling short in delivering quality seed and new varieties to smallholder farmers. This limits the potential to address food security, nutrition and climate resilience, according to a new study by the Amsterdam-based Access to Seeds Foundation.
While there is a growing number of seed companies active in the region, both homegrown and international, less than half of the 23 companies researched conduct plant breeding in Western and Central Africa. This limits the release of new varieties adapted to the region, and explains the high number of varieties that are older than five years offered in company portfolios.
The Access to Seeds Index 2019 – Western and Central Africa ranks Value Seeds number one. Like most of the other companies from the region, it operates exclusively in its home country of Nigeria. It stands out for its maize and rice 'value kits', all-in-one input packages tailored for smallholders. Also, it provides capacity building activities that specifically target women and next-generation farmers. Other Nigerian companies also dominate the top half, such as Maslaha Seeds, Premier Seed, and DaAllgreen Seeds, showing the relative strength of the seed industry from Nigeria.
Ranked second is Technisem from France, which has the widest presence in the region, covering 17 countries and offering training in 13 of them. The company sets an example by establishing Novalliance, which taps into local potential of homegrown African seed companies. Among the top ten index companies that belong to this group are Tropicasem from Senegal, Semagri from Cameroon, and Nankosem from Burkina Faso. Their combined breeding efforts result in the most up-to-date portfolio in the region, with a high number of newly released varieties.
"What both Value Seeds and Technisem represent is the importance of partnerships to improve access to seeds in the region," said Ido Verhagen, Executive Director at Access to Seeds Index. "In the case of Value Seeds, its partnership with the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) paid off, as its grant-based support enabled the company to improve its products and intensify its outreach to smallholder famers."
For the most part, open-pollinated varieties still dominate across the region, in contrast with Eastern Africa and South Asia. The exception is maize, for which hybrid varieties are more commonly available. In addition, research shows that for almost half (48%) of the crops, the most recent variety is older than five years, with only a fifth (21%) having a variety less than three years. The lack of newly developed varieties seriously impacts the resilience to a changing climate and emerging disease and pests, which reduces yields.
Compared to a dozen of companies active in Nigeria and Senegal, only one company is active in each of Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bissau. "Our study shows the potential of homegrown seed companies. However, most operate only in their home markets, which causes geographic imbalances in seed sector development," said Mr. Verhagen. "This also means that capacity building activities offered by companies only reach farmers in a handful of countries. This limits the adoption of new technologies by farmers in overlooked countries", he added.
"The relevance of access to seeds and plant breeding should not be underestimated," said Verhagen. "The number of undernourished people in the world reached an estimated 821 million in 2017 – it's rising. Climate change and weather extremes have been identified as a major reason for the increase. The seed industry has a vital role to play in helping farmers to adapt to climatic challenges while simultaneously raising production levels."
According to the FAO (www.fao.org/state-of-food-security-nutrition/en/), the number of undernourished people has been on the rise in Western Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa as a whole in recent years. Western Africa has seen undernourishment rise to 15.1% of the population in 2017 from 10.4% in 2010.

Here we have some pictures of her floating….

The 2020 Democratic Frontrunners Need to Answer for Their Votes on SESTA
SESTA put my sex worker community in severe danger. We need to demand our candidates commit to better policy this primary.
by Liara Roux
Feb 22 2019, 7:58pm
Portraits via Wikimedia Commons.
One by one they leap into the fray. Who will be the one to win the primary, dethrone Trump, and save us all from the hell we've been living since 2016? For my community of sex workers, there are no heroes—each addition to the roster of fighters is another name on a long list of politicians who have actively hurt us in their journey of power. Like many marginalized communities, we've been living in hell since long before 2016.
Every congressional Democrat running in the 2020 presidential primary voted for SESTA, legislation that supporters promised would end an "online sex trafficking crisis" (which research has shown to be largely "based on myths") by criminalizing sex-related online advertising—but that actually put sex workers at far more risk. Unfortunately, it appears that either our candidates didn't take the time to actually read what they were voting on—much less understand the full impact SESTA would have on vulnerable sex workers and trafficking victims—or they simply didn't care.
Bernie Sanders is the most recent candidate to announce his run, probably falling squarely in the "ignorant" crowd. I volunteered for him in 2016, but he, along with Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar, and Elizabeth Warren in the Senate, voted for SESTA. Representatives John Delaney and Tulsi Gabbard voted for FOSTA, the companion bill in the House. Don't look to any help from the Republicans. Trump signed SESTA into law with much fanfare.
It doesn't stop there: Elizabeth Warren introduced a bill about banking and trafficking that has some sex workers worried about their bank accounts (I've lost one myself). Amy Klobuchar, who co-introduced SESTA and has been fact-checked by the Washington Post for her alarmist trafficking rhetoric, has made the subject one of her congressional priorities. And Kamala Harris has been involved in a long history of legal cases against online advertising for sex workers.
As Harris has said herself, "From my earliest days as a prosecutor, I've led the fight against Backpage and other sex trafficking platforms." (Harris, like many prohibitionists, consistently refers to all sex work as trafficking.) She supported SESTA soon after her successful senate run, and worked behind the scenes with tech companies on the bill's language, despite sex worker organizers in her constituency (myself included) attempting to contact her office. My concerns were met with prewritten form responses.
Even if ignorance is the explanation, it's not an excuse, and it's definitely not enough to let this vote go unaddressed in the upcoming primary.
It's now clear that sex worker organizers were right to warn that the removal of safe online advertising would literally create trafficking and hurt everyone in the sex trade, abuse victims and consensual workers alike. Studies we cited alongside our lived experiences showed that the availability of online advertising for sexual services decreased fatalities among women overall nationwide. We explained that workers using the internet could cut out middlemen (or pimps) and tend to their own safety, creating internet blacklists and even complex screening databases and matching systems. In a reality messier than prohibitionists like to acknowledge, we often use sex work to save our own lives, as a response to sudden homelessness after being kicked out by a parent because of our sexuality or to escape an abusive partner. Now, more people are working in less safe conditions, like on the street, or are having to rely on a manager or live with a client—situations advocates of the bill often describe as trafficking.
In addition, many people who work to combat actual instances of trafficking day to day have found that the political exercise of SESTA has had a direct negative impact on their ability to help people. Jean Bruggeman, the executive director at anti-trafficking organization Freedom Network USA, told me prosecutors are having a harder time finding the evidence they need to prosecute the worst offenders: "What I've heard from prosecutors is that a lot of online marketplaces were actually quite responsive to their subpoenas when trafficking did occur on their sites."
In San Francisco, where Kamala Harris gestated her political career and started her campaign against Backpage's sexual advertising section, police are reporting an alarming 170 percent increase in reports of human trafficking in the year since SESTA. It's also worth noting that while Harris was focused on online sex ads as Attorney General, dozens of police officers from her prior jurisdiction were implicated in the trafficking of an underage girl.
You can't be upset at people for being single-issue voters when that issue is their literal survival.
This isn't a surprise to sex workers. Studies show that increased criminalization of sex work leads to increased violence, and abuse by police themselves is a daily reality for sex workers worldwide. Research published in the Journal of Crime and Justice shows that the most vulnerable often "stand the risk of being victimized by both the sex trafficking industry and the criminal justice system." As sex worker advocate Phoenix Calida told me, criminalization backers often don't understand how these laws play out, "They don't realize that people who are trafficked get arrested. They don't realize that migrant workers get deported."
Supporting research results have lead to a long list of health and human rights groups recommending decriminalization policies. The build-up to the bill, however, ignored the empirical research by organizations like Amnesty International, instead focusing on celebrity campaigns and groundless scare numbers.
SESTA is hardly the first time that congress has passed legislation in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence against it. But even if ignorance is the explanation, it's not an excuse, and it's definitely not enough to let this vote go unaddressed in the upcoming primary. While it's too early to tell how important of a political bloc sex workers are, we're undeniably still people, and every person deserves basic dignity and human rights.
In the Democratic party, we should be judging our candidates not by how proudly they campaign as a hero on trafficking, but by how their actions actually impact people. As we pick someone to run against a con artist continuously reinventing his own reality, it's imperative we look towards truth, science, and the real, hard work of solving complex societal issues.
A Democrat who believes in increased criminalization will sign the death warrant for countless sex workers.
We have to ask our candidates if their definition of justice is purely punitive—lock the "bad guys" up, take a victory lap, and walk away—or if it's about actually helping as many people as possible. Do our candidates support carceral policies, or will they join us in prioritizing harm reduction?
At the very least, as impacted parties and as constituents, we deserve a response. In the past couple weeks, I've seen sex workers told to avoid criticizing candidates in the interests of "Democratic Unity." But if you're interested in social justice, you can't be upset at people for being single-issue voters when that issue is their literal survival. If Democratic volunteers are worried about our complaints, they would be better served by making sure there is better policy around sex work in the Democratic platform than by asking sex workers to stop fighting for their survival. We are asking to stop the bleeding. Hell, we are asking for people to even acknowledge the wound.

This shouldn't be considered a high bar, and it's not a far left purity test. A Democrat who believes in increased criminalization will sign the death warrant for countless sex workers. A Democrat willing to examine their mistakes and work towards decriminalization, decarceration, and destigmatization will help just as many people survive.
In the next few months, I anticipate many conversations with volunteers eager to get me involved with their candidate. I'll be telling them this: "I'm glad you're excited, but I won't be able to give any time or money to a candidate until they've addressed their vote on SESTA, the impact of the bill, and their position on human rights for sex workers."
I hope you'll tell them the same, because we're not going to get an answer without your help.

Barack Hussein Obama (Барак Обама) is an American politician and the 44th President of the United States. He is the first African American to be elected to that office and the first president born outside the contiguous United States. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was president of the Harvard Law Review. He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. While serving three terms representing the 13th District in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. (Barack Obama Wiki)

He then defeated Republican nominee John McCain in the general election, and was inaugurated as president on January 20, 2009. Nine months after his inauguration, Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Yes we can!
During his first two years in office, Obama signed into law economic stimulus legislation in response to the Great Recession in the form of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, often referred to as "Obamacare"; the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; and the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010. In foreign policy, Obama ended U.S. military involvement in the Iraq War, increased U.S. troop levels in Afghanistan, signed the New START arms control treaty with Russia, ordered U.S. military involvement in Libya in opposition to Muammar Gaddafi, and ordered the military operation that resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden.

Sunflower Sea Star one step closer to Endangered Species Act Protection
Jan 5, 2022 Updated 23 hrs ago
Following a petition by the Center for Biological Diversity, the National Marine Fisheries Service announced that imperiled sunflower sea stars may warrant protection under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.
Since 2013, 90% of the Pacific population of these sea stars has been lost to the gruesome and disfiguring sea star wasting disease. The disease outbreak is being driven by climate change, with warmer oceans making the effects more severe and deadly.
"To see these spectacular creatures shriveled and disfigured paints a sad picture of how global warming is exacerbating disease and other harms in our oceans," said Miyoko Sakashita, ocean program director at the Center. "This is an important step toward protecting this beautiful species and the kelp forests it lives in."
Sunflower sea stars — who have up to 24 arms, can be a meter wide, and come in a variety of bright colors — live along shorelines from Southern California to southern Alaska. They're voracious predators whose consumption of sea urchins helps prevent the overgrazing of kelp forests, maintaining coastal ecosystems.
The sea star wasting disease outbreak is considered one of the largest marine epidemics, causing massive sea star mortality along the West Coast. The disease is a gruesome killer, causing lesions, contortions, lost limbs, disintegration and death. Sunflower sea stars have never recovered from being wiped out by the disease and are now classified as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Ocean acidification is also a threat to the species.
Following the decision, the government will open a public comment period on sunflower sea star protection. The Endangered Species Act requires the National Marine Fisheries Service to decide whether to list the species by August 2022. A listing could trigger an additional review of shoreline armoring and other coastal development projects that might push the species toward extinction.

Comparative analysis of the association between 35 frailty scores and cardiovascular events, cancer, and total mortality in an elderly general population in England: An observational study.

BACKGROUND: Frail elderly people experience elevated mortality. However, no consensus exists on the definition of frailty, and many frailty scores have been developed. The main aim of this study was to compare the association between 35 frailty scores and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD), incident cancer, and all-cause mortality. Also, we aimed to assess whether frailty scores added predictive value to basic and adjusted models for these outcomes. METHODS AND FINDINGS: Through a structured literature search, we identified 35 frailty scores that could be calculated at wave 2 of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA), an observational cohort study. We analysed data from 5,294 participants, 44.9% men, aged 60 years and over. We studied the association between each of the scores and the incidence of CVD, cancer, and all-cause mortality during a 7-year follow-up using Cox proportional hazard models at progressive levels of adjustment. We also examined the added predictive performance of each score on top of basic models using Harrell's C statistic. Using age of the participant as a timescale, in sex-adjusted models, hazard ratios (HRs) (95% confidence intervals) for all-cause mortality ranged from 2.4 (95% CI: 1.7-3.3) to 26.2 (95% CI: 15.4-44.5). In further adjusted models including smoking status and alcohol consumption, HR ranged from 2.3 (95% CI: 1.6-3.1) to 20.2 (95% CI: 11.8-34.5). In fully adjusted models including lifestyle and comorbidity, HR ranged from 0.9 (95% CI: 0.5-1.7) to 8.4 (95% CI: 4.9-14.4). HRs for CVD and cancer incidence in sex-adjusted models ranged from 1.2 (95% CI: 0.5-3.2) to 16.5 (95% CI: 7.8-35.0) and from 0.7 (95% CI: 0.4-1.2) to 2.4 (95% CI: 1.0-5.7), respectively. In sex- and age-adjusted models, all frailty scores showed significant added predictive performance for all-cause mortality, increasing the C statistic by up to 3%. None of the scores significantly improved basic prediction models for CVD or cancer. A source of bias could be the differences in mortality follow-up time compared to CVD/cancer, because the existence of informative censoring cannot be excluded. CONCLUSION: There is high variability in the strength of the association between frailty scores and 7-year all-cause mortality, incident CVD, and cancer. With regard to all-cause mortality, some scores give a modest improvement to the predictive ability. Our results show that certain scores clearly outperform others with regard to three important health outcomes in later life. Finally, we think that despite their limitations, the use of frailty scores to identify the elderly population at risk is still a useful measure, and the choice of a frailty score should balance feasibility with performance.

She is not here, she is gone.
Just a mirage at the oasis for the lovesick.
In the barren desert of my heart.

The blindness of the lies.

Lasting image of latter days.
Wind kisses upon the water.
Moving like the fingertips of a dancer would.

Unite highlights death of 70-year man ahead of Workers Memorial Day
By Chronicle Staff Share
Unite the Union has placed a spotlight on the recent death of a 70-year old man following a fatal accident as it called for an investigation in to whether health and safety standards were breached.
In a statement ahead of Workers Memorial Day tomorrow, the union indicated that the man in question died due to an accident whilst carrying out construction works as part of an illegal labour complement.
"Sadly, there are far too many employers who are willing to cut safety regulations and use illegal labour for their own benefit and to the expense of the tax coffers and more important to workers in general," the union said.
"We call for an investigation by the Health and Safety Inspectorate into the incident in order to discard that Health and Safety standards were not met."
"It also must be included in the investigation that all machinery, materials, scaffolds, cranes were up to safety standards, and not left to deteriorate to such a point that a dangerous situation developed."
"In addition it also needs to be determined whether illegal labour was carrying out works at the said site."
Additionally, the union vowed to continue with its commitment in demanding safe and healthy workplaces for all.
In this respect, Unite explained that it continues to make representations to the Government to ensure that Health and Safety representatives are recognised at their place of work and the Health and Safety Advisory Council is fully functional as well as the introduction of Introduction of our Health and Safety Policy in respect of organisation and arrangements.

Technology has always been at the heart of the rail industry, and it has been vital as the industry has expanded and evolved over the years. Technology can be utilized in many different ways, including enhancing the customer experience, increasing safety and improving production. As with most industries, there are always new technologies being tested and developed that we could see widespread within the next few years. So, what exactly are these technologies that are on the horizon and how will they improve the rail industry as a whole? Read on to find out more about new technology and the rail industry.
Facial recognition, for better or worse, has come on leaps and bounds in recent years and it is easy to see this technology being incorporated in many different ways in the near future. One of the better ways that it will be used is to replace ticket barriers so that passengers can gain access to platforms and train via facial recognition devices. This is beneficial because ticket barriers can slow down the flow of traffic and this can be problematic (as anyone who commutes on a daily basis will testify).
AR and VR have also grown rapidly within the last few years and are now being used extensively in a wide range of different industries. This includes the rail industry where designers are able to develop 3-D models of products and test their capability without having to actually manufacture the product.
We have already started to see rail apps where passengers can view travel information and book tickets, but you can expect this to continue to develop over the years to deliver a far superior experience. This could include onboard usages for both staff and passengers providing a real-time and accurate view of the journey. Easy access to relevant information is a key factor in why passengers will return again and again.
One way in which technology can be used by any business is to promote and boost outreach. Social media pages, photo sharing websites and online content can go a long way in developing a better relationship with customers by personalizing the service they are getting. One way to do this would be to create videos with Adobe Spark. By showing awareness of current trends within the marketing world, relationships with frequent travelers and users of the service can better understand what you are offering.
Much like any industry, security is always looking to be improved and particularly in the travel industry. The future could see things like luggage monitoring, CCTV panic buttons and an increase in cyber-security.
Technology and the rail industry go hand-in-hand and have done for many years. This will only continue in the near future as amazing advances are being made that will benefit the rail industry greatly whether it is improving customer experience or improving the efficiency. These are just a few of the most current advances which are likely to be introduced in the next few years and, in some cases, are already being used today.

Jeffrey Epstein Arrested on New Sex Charges
Former friend of Trump, Clinton was arrested Saturday on sex-trafficking charges

(Newser) – Wealthy financier and registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was arrested Saturday in New York on new sex-trafficking charges involving allegations that date to the early 2000s, according to law enforcement officials. Epstein, a wealthy hedge fund manager who once counted as friends former President Clinton, Prince Andrew, and President Trump, was taken into federal custody and is expected to appear Monday in Manhattan federal court, three law enforcement officials told the AP. Epstein is accused of paying underage girls for massages and molesting them in Florida and New York. Epstein's arrest comes amid renewed scrutiny of a once-secret plea deal that ended a federal investigation against him. That deal, which is being challenged in Florida federal court, allowed Epstein, now 66, to plead guilty to lesser charges of soliciting and procuring a minor for prostitution.
Averting a life sentence, Epstein was instead sentenced to 13 months. The deal required he reach financial settlements with dozens of his once-teenage victims and register as a sex offender. Epstein's deal was overseen by former Miami US Attorney Alexander Acosta, who is now Trump's labor secretary. Acosta has defended the plea deal as appropriate, though the White House said in February that it was "looking into" it. Federal prosecutors recently filed court papers in the Florida case contending Epstein's deal must stand. "The past cannot be undone; the government committed itself... and the parties have not disputed that Epstein complied." They acknowledged, however, that the failure to consult victims "fell short of the government's dedication to serve victims to the best of its ability." The victims in the Florida case have until Monday to respond to the Justice Department's filing.

The accusations here that anyone who thinks Trump's ties to this guy need to be looked at are all diehard Bill Clinton fans is pretty funny. Not everyone is just as blindly partisan as you are.
Shame we can't get a new arrest photo. I wonder if anyone else will be going down with this scumbag?

Also... With regard to 3 6 being in the same family as No limit... Its funny cause they both have the sort of low budget production and are both southern so I can see some similarities there, but I wouldn't exactly put them in the same family for a number of reasons.
3 6 is closer to the horrorcore type genre where you have a lot of crossover appeal to people who maybe don't usually listen to hip hop. A lot of white fans of 3 6 etc who don't follow hip hop as a whole, because of their sort of cult following.
No Limit is not a group with a dedicated cult fan base like 3 6. They were underground for a time but only locally. When they blew up, they blew up big and dominated the rap charts for a good year or 2 with dozens of high selling albums. Then they were almost immediately replaced by cash money and have languished in rich obscurity ever since.
Its not common for people to retroactively get into no limit. Not saying it can't happen but that's not their legacy. Their legacy in hip hop is impactful but actually skewed pretty negative by most people. Where as 3 6 mafia is more of a fringe group.

Do you disagree on stairway to heaven/long sentimental rock ballads? To me stairway to heaven had potential if It were possible to speed the process up. It just takes too long to get there and the climax isn't interesting enough to justify that. But that could be my ADD talking. To me the best part of the song is the flute at the very beginning
I love Stairway.
It's not my favorite rock epic whatever you call it.
I like Free Bird and Styx Come Sail Away better
I love love love listening to Stairway backwards though

iah though I probably prefer certain no limit tracks to anything 3 6 ever made personally.. I would also give them more credit than no limit as far as creating a unique sound production wise.

I assume you're talking about old school Three Six (same era as No Limit). Their later stuff, like Most Known Unkown definitely had a much more polished sound.
I personally think this was the best cut Three Six ever put to tape.
As for No Limit, I think a lot of those guys (and Mia X of course) could easily go toe-to-toe with a lot of the rappers that are popular today in terms of their ability to rap. I supposed it help that their beats almost always went hard. No Limit also really mastered posse cuts as a means to cross-promote.
It's interesting when you're talking about most peoples' views on groups like Three Six, No Limit, and Cash Money retrospectively. I suppose it is unlikely you're going to see a publication like Rolling Stone or Pitchfork do glowing retrospectives on Ice Cream Man or Chopper City in the Ghetto, but I'd bet that if you were talking to big fans of the genre, there's going to be serious respect for what those guys achieved. I gotta say though, as for why Cash Money eclipsed No Limit, I think a lot of it had to with Mannie Fresh's production chops - like man, I still love this tune.

More than 27 million Americans have received a first shot, and more than six million are fully inoculated. But as wealthy nations accelerate campaigns, there is concern that poorer countries are being left behind.

From the depths of the great North West Cadillac Sun have gone from strength to strength since releasing their debut album "Rock n Roll". Playing as official support to some of SA's heavy hitters, there's a lot of buzz in the rock scene about them at the moment.
Great news is that the band have released their brand new single "Questions & Wine" in time for the debut performance at this year's prestigious Oppikoppi Festival (which is happening from the 5th to the 7th of October). The track was produced by Dave Grevler at Anti-Motion Studios and this is probably Cadillac Sun's biggest track to date.
I've seen these okes play at Arcade Empire and I have to admit that they're definitely one of my favorite rock acts in South Africa. It's a delight to realize that rock is alive and well in the North West in 2017.

She is unable to unlock the room to the warhead with the three keys. Something Joker is easily able to do then orders them to toss Harley. She returns to Ivy's apartment convinced she needs a crew. Naturally, she asks Ivy first. However, Ivy declines and touts her solo status to which Frank quickly combats with sarcasm since she uses plants to do all her work. Ivy contends solo supervillains can be successful and sees a live fight between Dr. Psycho and Wonder Woman. It escalates into a PR nightmare when Psycho utters the C-word. Harley is dead set on getting a crew so she can do things like blackmail the Mayor with a warhead to get a highway named after her. Ivy doesn't get it.
Harley tries her luck at a henchman agency called Underworld Talent Inc. but they drop her once they realize she's never went back to the Joker and is still solo. She opts for the layman approach and heads into Noonan's, one of Gotham's seedy bars, to recruit henchmen. She promises no hench will be abused on her watch and luckily has an example right there in the bar, Felix Faust sending his crew to their deaths through a hell portal. All the patrons make up excuses. She sits at the bar dejected then Dr. Psycho, who happens to be sitting next to her, declines before she asks him. The Southern cowboy bartender messily reveals he is actually Clayface. To Harley's dismay, Kite Man arrives and recruits everyone with no plan and a made up on the spot speech.
Harley vents back at Ivy's, ignoring her odd interest in if Kite Man mentioned her, and wonders what she's missing in her approach to crew up. Harley takes Ivy along to a self-help seminar headlined by Maxie Zeus. However, he broadly repeats what Harley already did. Ivy sees through the facade rather quickly but Harley is inspired. She tried to get more advice with him after the show but he just turns out to be just another male chauvinist pig trying to get laid. To her horror, Zeus mocks her about getting laughed out of the Underworld Talent agency and declares no bad guys will ever work for a woman. Harley tries Ivy again but she is chided by Frank to elaborate on the glass ceiling for female supervillains and tells her about the tragic tale of the Queen of Fables. Back in the 80s, she was powerful sorceress fed up with being a foot note to male supervillains and amassed an army from storybooks but she was put down by the Justice League.
Ivy sends her off to a Taxes 4 Free to meet Fables and learns she was imprisoned in a tax guide book by Zatanna. They quickly get on the same page about the bias against female supervillains. Ivy admits she just wanted to Harley to know upfront what she was going up against because she cares. The scene is enough to reduce Frank to tears. Harley is undaunted and reveals her plan is to recruit scumbags who no one believes in rather than look for scumbags who believe in her. They see an episode of Tawny Young's talk show where Dr. Psycho is trying to save face. Things go from bad to apocalypse when he starts talking for his wife, Giganta, until she declares she's leaving him over the years of him mind controlling her into thinking she loved him. She marches away with their teen son Herman. Psycho loses it and once again uses the C-word, officially becoming the least employable person on the planet. Harley returns to Noonan's and makes an offer to Psycho. Still in denial, he declines until he sees a Legion of Doom press conference banning him from the group. He joins her crew. Harley assures him she believes in him and he has a part to play. Clayface keys in to "part" and joins the crew, too. They toast. Psycho inquires what their first scheme will be.
Harley and new crew find themselves outside Maxie Zeus's estate looking at a statue of himself and Psycho is disturbed by the anatomy. Harley tells Clayface to pretend to be a mailman while she and Psycho sneak in the back but Clayface keeps overthinking it and stuffing the role with backstory. To their annoyance, Clayface takes on the form of a mailman but tells Zeus he's his long lost son. Further, Psycho learns his role is to sneak in the crawl space and open the door rather than use his telepathy. They find the stolen 1996 Olympic gold medals but Clayface backs himself into a corner with every adjustment he makes to his appearance. Zeus, enraged by the lies, attacks Clayface and demands to know who his boss is. Psycho saves Clayface at the last second but Zeus is less than impressed with Harley's "crew." Harley gives him one chance to admit to the world that she's not someone to screw with but he declines. Psycho beats his head with one of his own statues until he capitulates then Harley bats him outside. He comes to and tells Tawny Young Harley's crew is no one to mess with. Harley's PR gets a huge boost and Tawny declares her a solo villain and potentially Joker's biggest competitor. Queen of Fables sees the report, too, and is impressed. The Joker isn't. Ivy is ecstatic and congratulates her even though it wasn't a warhead. Harley reveals she swapped the medals for a warhead and did what she said she would. Tawny reports about a high speed chase on the abruptly renamed "Harley Quinn Parkway." Ivy finally gets it.
There's a fair amount of references and easter eggs littered in this episode. Yes, a whole bunch of name drops by characters but they're like the least interesting. If you pay attention to the news ticker during the start of the Wonder Woman and Dr. Psycho battler there's a mention of Lex Luthor trolling Superman on Twitter and a funny jab at the Court of Owls. Or the UTI douches mentioning Mr. Freeze. You'll want to pause on Cronk, Professor, and Blaze's profiles. Lot of funny stuff like the muscle head Cronk knows basic Flash, Word, and HTML. Or the very specific reference planted in Blaze's profile about Aggro Crag from "Guts!" on Nickelodeon. How about the strange coincidence and timing of Maxie Zeus mentioning the 1996 Olympics in light of Clint Eastwood's movie out in theaters? The fact that there are affiliate Legion of Dooms is funny in itself but the Junior Doomers of America just had to be a nod to the Junior Birdmen of America. The Forrest Gump reference. That was an amusing one. The head scratcher was Queen of Fables. While it makes sense she was active in the 80s, a nod to her debut in the comics... but the implications. Like is this show on Peanuts time, not set in the present or are guys like Batman in their 50s?
With the formation of a crew, "Harley Quinn" finally takes a much needed turn into becoming a true underdog story as Harley seeks out others like her who are in similar predicaments. Misfits. Outcasts. Scum who no one believes in. Except her. It's quite easy to get behind a ragtag band who by all means should fail at everything they try. It's all the more fitting that the first official caper is essentially a bat to the face of the male dominated world of villainy. Maxie Zeus more than exemplifies all the worst aspects of that world who at every turn plagues women trying to get their own castle in the sky. In this episode alone, we observe Joker reaping the benefits of her hard work in the cold open, Harley being rejected at the talent agency, being rejected at a seedy bar, disgruntled predecessors, and public idols who turn out to be egotistical coke head perverts.
The recurring cast. The contrast of Ivy coming to Harley's rescue last episode with this week's turn of her declining not once but twice an offer to join Harley's crew as well as being on the sideline for the most part. But probably more important than being the muscle, Ivy teaches Harley an important lesson that while Harley doesn't except, does give her the impetus to complete her goal of assembling a crew at last. And yes, if you were patient about Harley's odd desire about having a highway named after her, the pay off finally comes in this episode. Fittingly, it's the coup de grace of this week's win. JB Smoove continues to get laughs from me at every turn and he continues to prove that having that character to puts everyone else in their place (and annoy Ivy despite her plant controlling powers) was the right move. Joker gets in a passing grade for the gag about him proving Harley's accusation by immediately ordering his henchman to do what he says. But to me, the bigger moment was at the end when Harley gets all her accolades on live TV and Joker sees it all.
Now while this episode had a lot of new faces and that might have overstuffed the episode, it's more important to introduce them now since they all have roles coming up this season and they do serve this week's plot well enough. Wanda Sykes and her brand of dry biting humor is a perfect fit for this unusual take on the Queen of Fables. She's not going to sugar coat the difficulties of the glass ceiling but she still roots for Harley a little. There's also the series' roving reporter and talk show host Tawny Young who is voiced by Tisha Campbell Martin. Except her to show up often and sort of be the chronicler of Harley's career. Giganta and Herman, while had a small role, do show up again this season. And between the lines, Giganta is there to make Dr. Psycho look even worse because he used his telepathic powers in one of the most horrendous ways possible against a woman. And in grand tradition, the same person who voices Wonder Woman also voices Giganta: Vanessa Marshall. A welcome reprisal. It's definitely a pleasant and welcome surprise that Batman isn't the only super hero we'll see on this show. And there's also a soft introduction to this show's Lex Luthor, voiced by Giancarlo Esposito, doing what else but a press conference. Continuing that through line about the Legion of Doom operating in public, the implication seems to be Luthor's business acumen is probably what took the outfit from outlaw supervillain team to tolerated evil labor union.
Lastly, this episode introduces two more pillars to the main cast of this show: Dr. Psycho and Clayface. Alan Tudyk, the voice of the Joker, is also Clayface here. Of the two, I think he'll be more welcomed by the audience. He doesn't have the crass adult edge that the other characters do and you can pretty much transplant him into any other show and he'd fit. They really took the failed actor back story of Clayface and made him into a more loveable rogue who's kind of in his own world and get over intellectual about any and everything. Tony Hale, likewise, performs brilliantly as Dr. Psycho. But it's not exactly a character you'd root for even those he's on Harley's team. You know, because he's a woman hater. And I mean, had a child with Giganta while she was mind controlled by him...
"So You Need A Crew" is the turning point for the series as Harley begins to solidify her allies and public profile with the success of her first official caper. More importantly, the world of Harley Quinn is populated with more important recurring cast members and two lynchpins of the main cast: Clayface and Dr. Psycho. While the show is still about Harley, her underdog story is only enhanced by the addition of rogues who are in the same boat as her.
