Southeast focused bridge lender, BridgeInvest, recently closed a first-priority construction loan secured by a 2.8-acre parcel adjacent to the Miami International Mall in Doral, FL. The borrower has begun construction on a 100,000 SF, 150-room DoubleTree hotel with an expected completion by mid-2018. In addition to the senior loan, the project funding includes subordinate financing sponsored through the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. The project is owned by Hospitality Doral, LLC which is controlled by the principals of American Opportunity Regional Center, an approved USCIS regional center. The borrower has hired an affiliate of Driftwood Hospitality Management to manage the development and construction of the project.
The borrower required an expedited closing under a tight timetable due to a rapidly approaching construction commencement deadline, which BridgeInvest was able to meet.
The loan facility allowed the borrower to draw funds commensurate with the construction schedule without incurring additional costs on undrawn capital.
BridgeInvest was able to structure the loan with a fully subordinated loan from an EB-5 lender through a mutually agreed upon intercreditor.

AVL has many years of experience in commercial vehicle calibration and has developed a unique tool for efficient calibration process: Mobeo. This tool allows you to cut development time and cost with secured or increased dataset quality.
Emission legislation becomes more and more difficult to fulfill due to ever tightening limits and the very strong requirement to reduce fuel consumption. In addition to this more often the emissions and fuel consumption need to be proven in the vehicle (ISC, IUC) at various ambient conditions (NTE). To achieve these targets the powertrain components need to be well synchronized, hardware as well as calibration. This leads more and more to complex ECU functions and calibrations.
To takle the more complex ECU functions and calibrations AVL is using its own tools CAMEO, FOX and CRETA, in order to automate and guaranty the quality of the calibration. In addition modelbased methodology is used to increase the quality and efficiency. Of course AVL is flexible and open to use other tools if requested from the customer.
To ensure efficiency and high quality development and calibration AVL has developed a methodology for model based engine optimization (MoBEO) which will be used in course of the project. This methodology is based on the consequent usage of real-time capable engine and EATS simulation during the whole development process.
Due to the extension of real testbeds with virtual testbeds, parts of the calibration can be shifted from the real to virtual world. AVL is using a unique semi-physical modeling approach which ensures high model accuracy. This combination of empirical models, which are derived from our development experience, with physical model parts is utilizing the advantages of both modeling approaches. The empirical models can cover complex phenomena and have high simulation speed and accuracy. The physical models increase the range of application due to better extrapolation capacities.
As application environment AVL is using Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) simulators which are extended with our testbed operation systems as PUMA and CAMEO to provide the calibration engineer the same calibration environment. This methodology is implemented in our calibration process which is adopted taking into account all available calibration environments; Testbed, vehicle and virtual testbed. Due to the high dataset maturity towards the calibration on the virtual testbed the dataset validation in the vehicle or on the real testbed is very efficient.
The following figure shows the process and the influences that can be taking into account on the virtual testbed. Based on testbed data the model will be refined and transfer to the HiL system, the final dataset will be validated in the vehicle of on the testbed.
This methodology enables AVL to validate the dataset under all different ambient and operating conditions and guarantees the highest level of dataset quality at dataset release.
In addition to the real PEMS measurements AVL will carry out a number of virtual PEMS measurements to identify critical operating conditions.
Also for negotiation with the authorities simulation data of high quality can support excellent.
The common trend in the industry is to reduce development time and cost and at the same time to manage the growing number of variants and calibration complexity. This forces the industry to develop new tools and processes for powertrain calibration.

Microsoft Project provides many of the fields you need, but if you require your own, you can create them. You can even create formulas and graphical indicators.
Click the Custom Fields icon.
Select a field type, rename it, and then configure it as necessary.
00:08 concerned about the duration or the cost for the project going over 10%.
00:17 you wanna create some fields that represent those requirements.
00:23 Now, I can go ahead and insert a field like duration variance.
00:26 Let me go on and insert that column right now, duration variance.
00:31 And what you can see is it shows in days.
00:35 But what the homeowner wants is to see this in percentages.
00:39 That's where custom fields come in.
00:41 With custom fields you can create your own text fields, number fields, date fields.
00:47 And you can also create formula fields just as you would in Microsoft Excel.
00:56 show you why, and then I'm going to show you how to create the formula.
01:06 I need to show you some quirks inside of Microsoft Project.
01:14 locate the Properties section and click the Custom Fields icon.
01:26 make sure Task is selected.
01:28 We're going to use this number one field.
01:31 So these are all the empty fields that we can use.
01:38 click Rename, and call this Percent Duration Variance and click OK.
01:44 Next we'll click the Formula button.
01:47 Now here's the quirk I wanna show you.
01:58 Baseline duration, and Baseline duration and click OK.
02:07 data that might be in the number one field.
02:09 We've never used it so it's okay.
02:12 Click the OK button.
02:13 Now, first the field won't show, so we need to insert it.
02:18 And now you can see this 14,400, 9,600.
02:26 Well what's going on here?
02:31 it treats it as 480, that's just how it stores it.
02:42 choose Custom Fields, choose Formula, and choose divide by 480.
02:51 So now you can see that the duration is being displayed properly.
02:55 Now, you might see these two fields, why are the different?
03:01 and this is displaying our current duration.
03:04 If we recall in a previous lesson, we added ten days of duration.
03:07 So, this is actually accurate.
03:20 I'm going to erase this value and paste in the formula.
03:25 Now the formula's provided in the exercise file if you don't catch this.
03:28 You could also pause this lesson so you could write this down.
03:38 if the baseline duration is equal to zero, then just leave the value as zero.
03:43 Otherwise, calculate the percentage overage for the project.
03:54 Remember these divide by 40s are just there, because they have to be.
03:58 And what those do is it requires you to put things in extra parentheses as well.
04:04 So, we'll click the OK button, but before we click OK.
04:07 One of the things I wanna point out is, currently, our formula is only for tasks.
04:16 how do you wanna calculate summary rows?
04:21 the My New House row as an example.
04:23 Choose Use Formula and click OK.
04:27 So now you can see we have a percentage.
04:29 There's 33% over for this task.
04:37 we're 6% overall on our project as a whole.
04:43 I went ahead and used the same exact formula.
04:46 We just replaced the word duration with cost.
04:54 using the number two field.
05:01 Prepare Home Purchase is overbudget, but the Build House is slightly under budget.
05:12 contractor to find a way to reduce the Purchase House Materials task.
05:22 turn them into graphical indicators.

RACINE, Ohio — Once the Lady Falcons broke through, there was no slowing them down.
Visiting Wahama broke the scoreless tie 2:52 into Monday's Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division girls basketball game in Meigs County, and the guests never looked back en route to a 64-28 victory over host Southern.
Wahama (2-1, 2-1 TVC Hocking) scored the first five points of the game and led 14-4 by the end of the stanza, after connecting on a pair of three-pointers.
The Lady Falcons scored the first six points of the second quarter, before Southern (0-6, 0-4) made its first-and-only triple of the game with 4:48 left in the half. WHS led by as many as 23 points, at 30-7, in the second, before SHS closed the half with a 4-0 run to make the margin 30-11 at the break.
The teams traded buckets to start the second half, and then Wahama went on an 8-1 run, making its lead 40-14 with four minutes left in the third. The Lady Falcons outscored SHS 7-to-4 over the remainder of the period and headed into the finale with a 47-18 edge.
The Purple and Gold cut their deficit to 26 points, at 52-26, with 4:45 left in the game, but Wahama sealed the 64-28 triumph with a 12-2 run.
Following win No. 2 on the year, Wahama head coach John Arnott admitted it wasn't the perfect victory, but each game is getting better.
"I thought we had good moments, and I thought we had flat moments," Arnott said. "They were having trouble with intensity. I think we get better every time, I saw some assists tonight that were a big improvement. The kids made the effort, I have nothing to criticize them about, I just thought we were flat at times. We have to play four full quarters, but with only seven kids, they're going to get a little winded."
For the Lady Tornadoes and head coach Alan Crisp, depth has been an issue, but as long as the effort continues to be there, it's a step in the right direction.
"There were some things I wanted to do tonight that we weren't deep enough to do, and then we ended up getting in foul trouble early," said Crisp. "Down the stretch, when we picked up full-court man, I thought we played hard, the bench was into it and the players were being aggressive. Early on we didn't have that, but toward the end of the game we did. Being able to have that enthusiasm the entire game, that's what it's going to take. You're going through rough spots, you're going to have those in life also, you have to be able to battle through them and come back."
The Red and White shot 25-of-55 (45.5 percent) from the field, including 5-of-9 (55.6 percent) from three-point range. Meanwhile, the hosts were 11-of-54 (20.4 percent) from the field, including 1-of-8 (12.5 percent) from deep. At the free throw line, WHS was 8-of-18 (44.4 percent), while SHS was 5-of-9 (55.6 percent).
The Lady Falcons earned a 38-to-23 rebounding advantage, including 16-to-10 on the offensive glass. As a team, Wahama finished with totals of 14 assists, seven steals, nine blocked shots and 14 turnovers. Collectively, the Lady Tornadoes had four assists, 11 steals, two rejections and 19 turnovers.
WHS junior Hannah Rose hit a quartet of three-pointers and led all-scorers with 22 points. Emma Gibbs recorded her third straight double-double, marking 21 points and 20 rebounds, while also leading the team's defense with six blocks and two steals.
Victoria VanMatre had eight points for the victors, while Lauren Noble and Aleisia Barnitz scored five apiece, with Noble dishing out a game-best five assists. Harley Roush rounded out the winning tally with four points.
SHS junior Phoenix Cleland paced the hosts with 16 points, seven rebounds and eight steals. Kayla Evans tallied four points, Brooke Crisp and Lily Allen had three apiece, while Shelby Cleland finished with two points and seven boards.
Evans, Crisp, Phoenix Cleland and Shelby Cleland each had an assist in the setback, while Evans and Shelby Cleland added a rejection apiece.
These teams are slated to meet again on Jan. 19 at Gary Clark Court in Mason.
Wahama returns to action at home on Thursday against Belpre, while Southern prepares for a non-league bout at Symmes Valley on Saturday.

Communications and Personality Type — Extravert & Introvert
Not All Successful CEOs Are Extroverts
Thursday, June 14th, 2012
This article is taken from USA Today, June 7, 2006, Del Jones.)
The following is a great article depicting Extroverts and Introverts and I think you will enjoy reading it. My Southwest pilot friend, Cathy, ISTJ, brought it to me and when I read it I called and thanked her profusely because the article gives a great illustration of the strengths and talents of Introverts. Introverts have gotten a ?bad rap? over the years because they are viewed as being shy and that is not necessarily so. The information below clears this misconception up.
Chris Scherpenseel, president of Microsoft?s 140-employee FRx Software subsidiary, is an amateur astronomer. ?I hate to call astronomers lonely, but most people don?t want to be up at 1 a.m. when it?s cold outside,? he says.??
?Alone is the way Scherpenseel likes it. So does his boss, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates. But rather than being the exception, they have plenty of company among corporate brass in their preference for solitude.
It seems counter-intuitive, but introverts and closet introverts populate the highest corporate offices, so much so that four in 10 top executives test out to be introverts, a proportion only a little lower than the 50-50 split among the overall population age 40 and older.
There are many ingredients to success, and one of the most obvious has always been an outgoing, gregarious personality that lets fast risers stand out in a crowd of talent. But successful introverts seem to have mastered the ability to act like extroverts. Some liken it to an out-of-body experience that lets them watch themselves be temporarily unreserved. They remain introverts to the core, and if they don?t get down time alone or with family, they feel their energy being sapped.
The list of well-known corporate CEO introverts reads like a Who?s Who, starting with Gates, who has long been described as shy and unsocial, and who often goes off by himself to reflect. Others widely presumed to be introverts include Warren Buffett, Charles Schwab, movie magnate Steven Spielberg and Sara Lee CEO Brenda Barnes.
?I?ve always been shy,? Barnes told USA TODAY in an interview early this year at her Chicago office. She turns down most speeches and nearly all interview requests. ?People wouldn?t call me that, but I am.?
Former Sun Microsystems executive Jim Green, now CEO of Composite Software, has jogged the streets solo from London to New Zealand to recharge. SkyeTec CEO Chris Uhland was at a wedding recently where he snuck off by himself to watch golf on TV. His wife was not happy. Patricia Copeland, wife of former Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu CEO James Copeland, understands. She told USA TODAY three years ago that even at family get-togethers in Georgia, her husband will soon be found taking refuge in a book.
Copeland sent an e-mail of clarification last month from a ConocoPhillips board meeting in Houston. He says he is insecure in social settings, but enjoys other people when there?s a problem to be solved.
?I tried to deal with my weakness? by being active in such endeavors as the United Way, he wrote. That seemed to work, but throw Copeland into a cocktail party and watch him squirm. ?In purely social events, I just toughed it out and did the best I could.?
Many CEOs rise from marketing and other arenas of extroversion. But they?re just as likely to come from the finance or information technology disciplines. The software industry might have the highest proportion of CEO introverts, starting with Gates, says astronomer hobbyist Scherpenseel, who began as a certified public accountant.
Introverts say they succeed because they have inner strength and think before they act. When faced with difficult decisions, introverts worry little about what other people will think of them, Uhland says.
Although reclusive by nature, shy CEOs seem to have been making more than their share of news lately. When USA TODAY ordered up handwriting analyses two years ago of CEOs facing criminal charges, three different experts called former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling an introvert and inhibited loner. The other former Enron CEO on trial, Ken Lay, was often seen making small talk with strangers in the courthouse hallways. But Skilling typically restricted himself to speaking to his wife or his lawyer, Dan Petrocelli, who in his closing argument last month called Skilling anti-social. A jury convicted Skilling and Lay of hiding Enron?s true financial condition from investors.
Another CEO to make headlines, William Swanson, says he was ?extremely shy? when he first joined Raytheon as a young engineer. He rarely spoke at meetings, but rather scribbled notes of observations that he said led to his publishing decades later of Swanson?s Unwritten Rules of Management, a booklet recently discovered to be so plagiarized that the Raytheon board of directors denied him a pay raise.

Your dancer made our party a hit and two days later I'm still getting phone calls about how great the hula dancer was. You will be highly recommended in the future and I'm sure you'll be hearing from us again also. Thanks again!
The Kahana Hula dancers were the stars at our wedding reception. Everyone is still talking about them. Everything was just perfect. Everytime I called you were more than happy to help. Everyone is asking where I found you guys and I am passing on all of the information. It was perfect. Thank you again!
Excellent! Very entertaining, fun & personable girls. Thank you for the wonderful hula lesson and the best hula show! Our residents enjoyed every minute of it! The interaction with the crowd and beautiful costumes made for a very entertaining night. Thanks again!
Outstanding!...We will definitely use your services in the future!
I arranged for a Kahana Hula dancer to perform at my daughter's 9th birthday party and I was extremely happy with the entire process, from scheduling to the performance! The hula dancer arrived at my house exactly on time, she looked beautiful and she thrilled my daughter and her friends for a very entertaining 45 minutes! She explained hula dance traditions and moves in a patient and age-appropriate way, taught them to do several dances and completely captivated the girls the whole time. I would highly recommend Kahana Hula for any occasion and will likely use them again for one of my younger daughter's future parties!?
...Mahalo for such an amazing time you gave us last Tuesday here at Camp! You were amazing and we thank you with all of our hearts!!! Wonderul to meet you and learn from you!!!

The boys truly enjoyed learning more about the Hawaiian culture and participating in the Hawaiian spirit. I will forward to you some of the pictures I took during the evening.

This button was likely worn by supporters of General MacArthur's bids for the presidency in 1944 and 1948. Douglas MacArthur was a career military man, rising to the rank of five-star general officer, the second-highest possible rank in the United States Army. MacArthur graduated at the top of his United States Military Academy at West Point class in 1903, became the Army's youngest major general in 1925, and then Chief of Staff of the United States Army in 1930. General MacArthur retired in 1937 to become the Military Advisor to the Commonwealth Government of the Philippines, but was recalled to active duty in 1941 to defend the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, for which he was awarded the Medal of Honor.
MacArthur and his staff escaped to Australia from the province of Bataan in March of 1942, and famously said to General Richard Sutherland, "It was close; but that's the way it is in war. You win or lose, live or die — and the difference is just an eyelash." In 1944, some members of the Republican Party supported nominating General MacArthur for President, but as he was actively leading forces, he could not campaign for the nomination. MacArthur's supporters entered his name in the Wisconsin primary election, where he did win three delegates. At the convention, New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey easily won the party's nomination.
General MacArthur officially accepted Japan's surrender in September 1945, and was effectively the interim leader of the country until 1948, overseeing its reconstruction. He ran again for the Republican Party's nomination for President in 1948, and was again defeated by Thomas Dewey. MacArthur was relieved of his command by President Harry S. Truman in 1951, after MacArthur communicated with Congress about his plans to further escalate the Korean War. The majority of the public did not agree with the decision, and Truman's approval ratings fell. MacArthur advised Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, before he passed away in 1964.

Is Freemasonry Doomed To Fail?
This paper has been written in response to a paper titled "Freemasonry Is Dying" by Bro. Lance Kennedy. If you've followed this blog for very long then you may recall that this isn't the first time that I've directly responded to his work but Bro. Kennedy has a way of creating content that warrants our attention as Freemasons.
Before proceeding further you should read his article that I linked above if you haven't already. I won't be discussing the data, it's already presented in the article for you to review, instead, I'll be discussing my conclusions and what I believe it means for our fraternity.
When data is properly collected and presented it can say a lot. When collected correctly it gives us insight into unbiased truths that remain true regardless if we like the conclusions we must inevitably draw from it.
Bro. Kennedy admits that the data collected for his paper isn't flawless but it is the most accurate data that has been collected on our membership numbers in North America. There is no better source for the information that has been collected and the numbers that have been collected are sobering.
Freemasonry is dying. Look at the data again if you must but the numbers don't lie.
I realize that I'm being contradictory but I don't believe Freemasonry will die.

India: Case Analysis Of Bacardi And Company Limited v. Bhahety Overseas Private Limited &Ors. CS(COMM) 464/2021 & I.A. 12323/2021
by Priyal Dhandhukia
Khurana and Khurana
Sonam and Ria are friends. One day, they decide to get a fruit juice from a store nearby to quench their thirst. They like on specific drink which is known as BREEZER. However, when they entered the store, they ended up buying a drink called FREEZMix which was placed right beside BREEZER. Thinking that its just another flavour offered by BREEZER they wished to try it. This happened because of the same font and the phonetic ring to the words used to name the drink - FREEZMix. The shape of both the bottles (which were of different brands) were the exact same. The similarity in the names of both the drinks led to the loss of BREEZER as a company and gain of FREEZMix.
Now, some companies tend to take advantage of the customer confusion in bad faith. The Indian judiciary has seen many such precedents which have tampered with the customer loyalty of their competitors to derive profit from it.
One such case which recently was seen by the Delhi High Court was of Bacardi and Company Limited v. Bhahety Overseas Private Limited &Ors.Bacardi and Company Limited ("Plaintiff") manufactures and sells rum-based alcoholic beverages which are also mixed with various fruit essences. These drinks are popularly known as "BREEZER". Bahety Overseas Private Limited &Ors. ("Defendants") also manufactures drinks but which are alcohol-free fruit-based beverages. These drinks are known as "FREEZMix".
The instant case revolves around an interim injunction plea brought to the Court by the plaintiff. The plaintiff claimed the actions of Infringement which is covered under section 29 of the Trademarks Act, 1999 ("the Act") and passing off which is covered under the common law.
The Plaintiff alleged that the Defendants' product infringes the plaintiff's registered trademark and therefore seek for injunction against the defendants' products. The word mark "BREEZER" and the shape mark of the bottle which is a well-known alcoholic drink have been duly registered under class 32 and 33. They plaintiffs have been using it since the 27thFebruary, 2003 which is not disputed by any means by the Defendants.
The problem arose when the Defendants got their mark - "FREEZMix" registered and used it in a way which amounted to infringement of Plaintiffs' mark. The fonting and styling of the Defendants' mark was such which was deceptively similar to that of the Plaintiff's mark. In furtherance of dealing with the problem, the Court took the view of the third person perception. It stated that the people are more likely to get confused between the brands when they see the word "FREEZ" printed similarly to that of "BREEZER". The consumers will not check the registration of the wordmark claiming it to be valid. Here, the Court applied the test of average man's intelligence and his imperfect recollection. After examining all the clauses of section 29 of the Act, it was realized that section 29(2) envisages under which circumstances any situation shall be observed as infringement. If the mark (1) causes confusion in the public minds and (2) leads the public to believe of any association between the registered mark and the infringing mark.
All-in-all, infringement occurs when -
"Either the marks are identical and the goods are similar, or the goods are similar and the marks are identical, or the goods and the marks must both be identical.
Because of such similarity or identity, one of the following two consequences must result:
there must be likelihood of confusion in the minds of the public, or
the public must be likely to believe an association between the marks of the plaintiff and of the defendant."
Words "FREEZ" and "BREEZER" are phonetically similar because "FREEZ" has the same ring to it as "BREEZ" does. Considering the fact that the word "FREEZMix" was registered in its entirety however, "mix" was placed disproportionately below the word "FREEZ" urges one to think about the reason behind it. Putting its reliance on the case of Amritdhara Pharmacy and Satya Deo Gupta AIR 1963 SC 449 where the Court held "Amritdhara" and "Lakshmandhara" phonetically similar. The case of Aristoc Ltd. v. Rysta Ltd, 62 RPC 65 wherein the Court stated that in situations like these, the test of first impression and imperfect recollection must be applied. Because, when a consumer which has little to no knowledge of any brand's word, figurative or any other mark is asked to spot the difference between two products from different brands having a deceptively similar mark will not be able to spot the difference.
Minor variations in the words will not make a difference when it comes down to the words sounding phonetically similar. Therefore, the word "mix" and "er" in both the words hardly make any difference when "FREEZ" and "BREEZ" are phonetically similar.
Lastly, the Court dealt with the claim of the overall trade dress being similar to that of the Plaintiffs'. After looking closely at the samples of both the bottles, it was observed that the deign and built of the bottles were indeed similar. Both the bottles had a "champagne style base". Shape of the neck of the bottle and all the colours used for the cap and the body of the bottle were observed to be identical.
The Court, taking the support of certain precedents like Phonepe Private Limited v. EZY Services, Bharat Biotech International Ltd. v. Optival Health Solutions Pvt. Ltd. and Bigtree Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. v. D. Sharma observed "Once the mark is registered, at an interlocutory stage, the Court would be loath to deny the registered trademark the statutory protection against infringement which Section 28(1) of the Trademarks Act confers on it, on the ground that it is common to the trade."
To conclude, the court observed that the Plaintiff has a prima facie case for grant of interlocutory injunction on the basis of infringement of the registered marks. As a result of the analysis, the Defendants are injuncted from using the mark "FREEZ" or "FREEZMix" or any other sign, mark or domain name which even distantly are similar/ identical to that of the Plaintiffs' mark. The Court also stopped the Defendants to use a design for its bottle which may be deceptively similar to that of the Plaintiffs'. There are a lot of precedents under the concept of deceptive similarity in the history of Intellectual Property Rights. The trail of such cases still follows because the owner of every business aims to have something which not only brings in profit, but also attracts customer loyalty just like its competitor(s) might already have in the market.

The Patents Act was largely based on the recommendations of the Ayyangar Committee Report headed by Justice N. Rajagopala Ayyangar. One of the recommendations was the allowance of only process patents with regard to inventions relating to drugs, medicines, food and chemicals.

Haiti Trip: Day 3
Today marked the last full day here in Haiti, it started very early as Patrick, Butch, Michael and myself went out to take a look at one of the places were looking to possibly relocate the Deaf community. The land looks like a really good option, though nothing is certain yet.
The trip out and back to the land was a short drive, but a long trip because of Haiti's traffic and poor roads – this is the single biggest challenge to anyone patience, though our team has never showed a sign of frustration toward it. I got to sit and talk with a young man named James. James is going to college and majoring in computer science. He speaks English really well and taught me several Creole words including the word for sweet, which is pronounced something like "doose" which is also used the same way it is in the States – to express that something is especially cool. Kyle Reschke and I have adopted the word for expressing our approval at something.
When we reunited with the rest of the group at the deaf camp we were excited to find that they'd made a great deal of progress on the Census. As soon as we got there Tara interpreted for a young man who wants to be a preacher. He said he reads the Bible but he doesn't understand it all and he wants to be educated – it was a powerful testimony.
Anne Louise and Kaylee were hard at work in the deaf camp painting the faces of the children. The kids in the camp are so cute and they'll walk up to anyone and just hold their hand or beckon you to pick them up. Several of the kids were ver fascinated by my equipment. Something that was funny to me was that even the youngest of them wanted to see every picture I took of them on the back of my camera. It reminded me of my nieces and nephews who did the same before they could form sentences.
The kids are so affectionate and trusting, its hard to leave them, but with the census completed and a thorough 'orvwa' said to all we climbed back onto our bus and left the deaf camp. As we were leaving a deaf man came up to the side of the bus and signed to robin. "I need a Laptop, a TV, anything. I'm married. I'm bored." We couldn't help but be a little entertained from the young man laying it out there. This did eventually turn into a real discussion of ways we could encourage community building and even entertainment within the deaf community.
In the afternoon we visited a church where we discovered they have a considerable ministry to the deaf already in place. This Baptist church would be considered a small to medium building in the road in the States, but here its one of the larger churches in the area. Walking into the church there was a sense of calm. Butch commented "It feels like Frazer." We sat in their sanctuary and met their pastors then we went out into their courtyard and played basketball with some of the teenagers at the church. We met a few deaf folks that don't live in the camp. Its exciting to meet future partners in ministry here.
Last night we enjoyed dinner here at the children's home one last time and sat down with our team plus Margret and Tara and debriefed. It was clear that everyone was excited about the possibilities moving forward; moving the community, building them homes, getting them clean water, educating them, building them as a community, giving them fun things to do and building them a church.
There is much more a could tell you, but I have to get packed. I'll see many of you soon. Thanks for the prayers!
Bonswa everyone! It has been a busy day here. It started with breakfast at the guest house. There was delicious mango that was (as with most of the food) grown right here on the compound. After thinking the kitchen staff, we drove to the deaf camp to take a census of the residents.
In order to take the census more quickly we split into two teams, each had one person who could interpret for the deaf and one person who could interpret for Creole. The Deaf camp has made considerable improvement over the last time we sent a team. They now have what are called "T-houses" – T for temporary. The houses are made of plywood and have tin roofs but have no bathrooms or water of any kind. They do have porches which is where they spend most of their free time.
The Census was mainly to find out if the community was interested in relocating and overwhelmingly they responded in the positive. During this time I walked around with my HVX200 video camera and a D90 still camera. I was surprised that everyone who saw me smiled – many beckoned me over to take their picture. I was shocked by how interested they were in being photographed. This reminded me of of some interesting charities I heard about at Catalyst last year that take photos of people in marginalized communities so that those people can have a photo of themselves and their family. So I'm contemplating a photography mission trip in the near future.
While the situation was much better than it was last time (largely thanks to the IFRC who built the T-houses) it is far from what most americans would consider livable. They have to walk to another part of the camp to take a shower, they have to walk even further to use the toilet. Parts of the camp have very tall grass still, which means misquotes and malaria.
Robin Pass, who was worried at first that she would have trouble communicating with the deaf, served as one of our interpreters. She was surprised to find out that the deaf here in Haiti are very similar to those in Alabama. Possibly the biggest difference is that when they sign they are mouthing Creole. Robin and Tara speak english while they sign. Both Tara and Robin say that the Haitians do sign with a Creole "accent" while Robin signs with a southern "accent" and Tara signs with a New York "accent." It made me wonder if there are any deaf people who do impersonations of each other.
In the afternoon we took a drive around down town Port Au Prince.
If you have heard that Haiti has not progressed since the earth quake and didn't believe it, here is photo proof. What you see here was actually a government building that housed several government agencies. It still lies in total ruin. As we drove past the first time I couldn't process what I was seeing fast enough to take a picture – this was from the second time we passed it. We also visited St. V
incent's, a school for the handicapped that had to be relocated after the earthquake. They teach deaf, blind and otherwise handicapped children. Robin signed with some teenagers there and remarked on how much they were like American teens; they were coy with their signing at first, blocking her view – (whispering, if you will) but they eventually warmed up to us. When we asked about school they all said they were done with school for the day and they didn't want to talk about school
things. We took a picture of our entire team including Tara, Ronald and Margaret from 410 Bridge and several of the kids at St. Vincent's.
The young man in the wheel chair told Robin that his parents abandoned him because he was deaf and lame and therefore 'useless.' Robin wouldn't let him go until he finally said "I now understand that I am important." He and all the kids at the school really enjoyed having their pictures taken.
We continued through Port Au Prince where we continued to see more devastation.
These piles of rubble are everywhere throughout the city – combined with trash and (sorry if this is too graphic) even human waste. Perhaps the greatest indicator of the condition of the country was what they call the palace. This is their White House and in the wake of the disaster it looks like a strong wind could blow it over.
Could you imagine our white house looking like this? The dome is cracked and fallen forward. It looks like a scene from the movie Independence Day after the aliens have attacked. Could you imagine living in a country that couldn't organize enough to repair it's president's house?
When we finally got back and had dinner we met with a woman named Georgia who is part German part Haitian. She works with the deaf community. This was very helpful in learning about all the players in the situation.
"Friends of Deaf Haiti" – an organization that got the community to the location its in today and with the help of a french diplomat and an American. These people advise the community and are trusted as the leaders. 410 bridge is working on building their and our relationship with them
410 Bridge – the mission organization with which we've partnered. Most well known for their work in Africa, they specialize in building self-suffecient communities based off of micro-enterprising.
Frazer – Us, the church that wants to preach the gospel, educate and build church for the people in the deaf community as well as answer any medical needs they have and assist in their becoming independent.
The IFRC – International Federation of the Red Cross (not the same as the American Red Cross) this group oversees the land that the camp is on – they want to move in blind and paraplegic Haitians.
Other smaller players – We've run into a few other smaller groups that also want to get involved in way way or another – not all of them are looking to collaborate in their efforts.
So the short version is – we need prayer to be sure that all entities can come together to help this community as best we can.
As some of you know, I have the honor of accompanying a few folks from Frazer on a Mission cultivation trip in Port Au Prince, Haiti. While our church has taken many trips to Haiti for different purposes, this is the second in a series toward a long-term goal of growing and developing relationships with a deaf community here (here because I'm in La Plaine as I type this.) We're hoping to help them over the next several years, build housing, develop education and most of all show and tell them about the love of Jesus Christ.
Already the trip has been quite amazing – after a long journey that started at 3 am we arrived in Haiti this afternoon and made contact with Tara, a young woman here who is working with the deaf community. Tara introduced us to Ronald and Tompi who are both Haitian men that are also employed by 410 bridge. The team that came late last year for the vision trip had met Ronald at that time. He speaks english well and all three of the 410 staff here are obviously passionate about their work here.
We were escorted by a policeman to a children's home that has a very impressive walled compound here. We're staying in the guest house – we had a great meal here – most of the food was grown right here on the compound, its the only way to be sure its clean enough to eat fresh.
John Paul's Story
After dinner here we were introduced to Pastor John Paul. Now, I'm going to try to tell his story in brief because its amazing, I might not have all the details exactly right. John Paul was born in Haiti. When he was young he went to a revival where a missionary called him down and said he wanted to pay for him to go to the US and be educated, go to seminary and return to Haiti to preach. He agreed because he wanted to go to the US.
The man was true to his word and got John Paul to live with a family in the states where he finished high school and went to seminary. The missionary showed up at his graduation and John Paul didn't even know who he was, the man gave him $1000 and told him to go back to Haiti and preach the word. John Paul thanked him and stayed in the states. He got an electrical engineering degree. He got married He got a job. He had kids. He lost a job and got a better one. All the while he had a dream in which he said he saw 'a man' who said to him "When are you going to go back to Haiti?" All the while he was getting wealthier and more comfortable. One day when he was taking his kids on a vacation in a brand new car when the car lost control – perfectly good weather, first time driving the brand new car and he lost control of it – he nearly drove it off of a bridge when it suddenly stopped.
That night he had the dream again and this time the man said "I could've killed you today. Go to Haiti or I will kill you and send someone else." He was awakened by his wife who said she had a dream in which a man told her that He would've killed them because her husband hadn't come back to Haiti. This was particularly miraculous because in all their time together he'd refused to tell her how he got to the US or anything about his life in Haiti. She asked him "What kind of deal have you made?" and he told her. They agreed he needed to go to Haiti. He came back here eight years ago.
This is all the short version, believe it or not, but today he has a children's home with 60+ kids and a church with 2,000 members. He told several miraculous stories, but possibly the most amazing was about the day of the earthquake here. He had a meeting with his staff that day because he was tired of the Kids getting dinner late because it wasn't ready. He told them if they didn't eat earlier that day that he would fire them all. He even stopped through halfway through the day and reminded them. In the afternoon he felt unusually tired and so he went home early – so he wasn't there to be sure that they got food on time.
When he got home the earthquake hit and by the time he got back to the shelter he saw that everything was flattened, including the place where they ate their meals. He began to cry and shout, looking for everyone when someone came and found him. "Pastor!" he said "They are all alright… The food was't ready!" As it turns out the staff had worked hard to get the kids there on time and they weren't ready. All of the children and his staff survived.
The earthquake's effects are unimaginable; tent cities as far as the eye can see in some parts of the city. John Paul's congregation lost over 200 people to the Earthquake, so much prayer is still needed – Imagine one pastor having to comfort 200 grieving families.
There is much more
It is clear there is much to be done here and I could write for hours just on today, but I hope that I'll be able to get some good footage tomorrow and perhaps tell you more about it tomorrow night. Prayers are appreciated. To God be the glory!

Day after day we read in the news about one company or another in trouble with its investors or its customers for unethical practices. The Phenomena is hardly new. The Talmud records many court cases brought by employees and laborers against practices that they felt were unfair. Many of these cases remind us of what we see today in the workplace. While one can make a general rule that the Sages of the Talmud worked hard to defend the rights of workers, they also took a look at the responsibilities of consumers as well.
The first concern in Jewish Law is for the owner of property. Once a person took possession of property, he or she was fully responsible for it. If someone were to do them a favor and look after it, they had only limited liability if something should happen to it that was not in their control. On the other hand, if one rented that object, then they had full liability if something should happen.
One could not open a store that would be in direct competition with another shopkeeper if it would take away the first storekeeper's business. One could only go into competition if the first seller had more business than he or she could handle.
There are many cases where the Sages changed Jewish law to prevent price gouging. There was a limit to the markup a storekeeper could charge without having to refund the difference if the buyer challenged the price paid in court.
Owners were responsible for their animals as well. If a ox would gore a person or another ox, if the animal was a first time offender, the owner was let off with a warning to tie the animal securely. If the animal was known to gore, than the owner had full liability for any damages it caused.
If someone were to buy an object and take delivery later, the seller must protect the property of the buyer until it is delivered. Otherwise the seller is liable for damages.
The Rabbis also reminded sellers that good customer service would bring back buyers. They were advised to go beyond the letter of the law and not take every advantage they could from their customers. There is a famous story of Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakkai who bought a Donkey from an arab vendor. When it was delivered, a valuable gem was found hidden in the bridle. The students of the Rabbi were overjoyed since the donkey was sold with bridle. The Rabbi, however, asked the students if the Arab knew the gem was hidden in the bridle. "Of course not," said the students. "The gem is far more valuable than the donkey." "Then return the gem to the Arab," said the Rabbi, "Who am I to take advantage of the letter of the law." When the stone was returned the Arab was overjoyed and praised the Rabbi and the Jewish G-d whom the Rabbi served.
On the other hand, the Sages also reminded the customers that they should not ask a shop owner the price of an item on the shelf if he has no intention of buying. The owner has the right to expect one to buy the object if one is inquiring about the price.
Employees must be paid on time. In ancient days, they were paid at the end of every day. Some agricultural workers might be paid at the end of the season. To delay payment could cause severe hardship for the workers and their families. It was expected that workers would have time for lunch, and if they worked in an orchard, they could eat some of the fruit they had harvested and it would not come out of their pay. Hired workers were not financially responsible for unintended damage.
Landowners had a responsibility to feed the poor, The poor could enter their fields to reap the corners and to glean the dropped ears of grain. If a sheaf was forgotten, than the owner could not go back to get it unless it was clear that it was not forgotten but just not yet picked up. The owners could choose which poor people they would let into their fields. And the poor had to be careful not to damage the other fields that were not yet harvested.
From all of this we see a pattern of behavior in the marketplace that mirrored behavior in one's personal life. Anytime people gather to conduct business, there will be conflicts in the marketplace. In any small town or city, there will be competition. But there is a line between competition and unethical behavior and the Sages tried to teach this through the law as well.

Q: Google Calendar API Push Notifications - Event Moves into the Past I'm working on an app which allows users to confirm they attended a google calendar event. I'd like them to make the confirmation immediately after the end time of the event.
Will subscription to Google's event push notifications (https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/v3/reference/events/watch) let me know when the event is over?
If not, what's the best way to solve the above problem?

A: Push notifications only let you know about changes on the calendar (someone moved the event, someone responded etc.). There are no push notifications at starts and ends of events.
You can still combine storing the events and watching the changes to them with having a cron job (or similar) to run your code when events end.

Sports HRVarsity
Bethel's EJ Richardson, HRA boys swimmers, Menchville girls basketball make postseason marks
Bethel's EJ Richardson III, who was named the Daily Press track all-stars Athlete of the Year for the 2018 outdoor season, will attempt to win a fourth consecutive 500-meter state indoor title on Saturday at the Boo Williams Sportsplex.

EJ Richardson III will cap a terrific indoor track and field career when he and the Bethel Bruins compete Friday and Saturday in the Class 5 state meet at the Boo Williams Sportsplex.
Richardson, a senior headed next year to the University of South Carolina on scholarship, will attempt to win a fourth consecutive 500-meter title. That won't be easy, however, because the 500 might be as stacked as any event in the meet.
Richardson comes into this year's meet ranked second in the 500 with a time of 1 minute, 4.80 seconds. L.C. Bird's Jeremiah Hill is ranked first in Class 5, and the state as a whole, at 1:04.77, with his brother Josiah Hill (1:05.28) and teammate Jayson Ward, Bethel's Jonathan Mitchell (1:05.95) and Potomac's Dashon Reeves all capable of running to the gold.
"I think it's going to be one of the great races of the day," Bethel coach Joe Strangis said.
Richardson is also the two-time defending state champ at 300 meters. To earn another gold in the event, he'll have to overcome a quality field that includes VCU-bound teammate Mitchell and Potomac's Reeves. Richardson and Mitchell will team with Mitchell's brother Jaden Mitchell and Jordan Ross in an attempt to earn another 4x400 state title for the Bruins.
The Bruins could win as many as three golds on the girls' side, led by defending state shot-put champ Jalani Davis. Bruin Jahnelle Saunders won the state high jump and long jump last year while competing for Phoebus in Class 3. Hampton sophomore Jordan Hardy is ranked first in the girls triple jump.
York senior girl Ryah Hinds will look to bring home more state gold in the Class 3 meet this weekend at Roanoke College. Hinds won the state 100, 200 and 400 outdoors in the spring after winning the 55 and 300 titles indoors last winter.
Hinds is ranked No. 2 in the 55 and No. 1 in the 300 heading into the girls' meet, while the Falcons' Joseph Langston is No. 1 in the boys' 500. Tabb's standout distance crew should put the Tigers in the hunt for a top-three girls team spot.
The Class 4 meet is also at Roanoke. Grafton's girls middle-distance crew — which includes Alexa Daley, Sloane Youtsey, Kira Freedman, Allison Kenney and Maya Caden — will look to add a 4x800 gold to its accomplishments.
HRA swimming
Hampton Roads Academy ran its string of Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association Division II boys swimming state titles to eight last weekend in Stafford. The leading point scorers for the Navigators were Cooper Muench, Hunter Muench, Blake Rouzie, Bryce Rouzie and Avery Cronin.
Bryce Rouzie and Cooper Muench teamed with Brandon Kim and Kyle Slate on the 200 medley relay that placed well. Other groups that contributed key points were the 400 freestyle relay of Kim, Cronin, Blake Rouzie and Cooper Muench and the 200 freestyle relay of Cronin, Slate, Trevor Ramer and Hunter Muench.
"The boys team had great momentum going into the state swim meet after a good showing at the (Tidewater Conference of Independent Schools) and Division II Invitational meets," Navigators coach Jeff Scott said. "Our captains displayed great leadership
"They arrived to the meet focused, ready to swim fast and help the team accomplish their goal of winning another state championship."
The Navigators' girls finished fifth in Division II in the state meet. The 400 freestyle relay (Josie Lindsay, Sophia Snyder, Molly Rouzie and Christy Slate), 200 medley relay (Slate, Snyder, Rouzie and Lindsay) and 200 freestyle relay (Slate, Snyder, Laura Renforth and Savannah Reed) fared best for the Navigators.
Menchville girls basketball
Menchville's 69-63 loss to Hampton on Wednesday in the Class 5 Region A quarterfinals marked the Monarchs' fourth close defeat to the Crabbers this season. Not to worry, the Monarchs should have plenty of chances to challenge the Crabbers in the next few seasons.
Among a large group of players expected to return to the varsity next season are Kelsey Fogarty and Tamiya Santos. Fogarty averaged 15.7 points and Santos 14.8, and both made the All-Peninsula District first team.
They will receive help from at least five rising freshmen who helped the Monarchs' junior varsity finish 18-0. That group is led by point guard Atiana Williams, shooting guard Amari Smith and 6-foot center Keylee Harrison.
"I'm happy with the seasons the varsity and junior varsity had, and I think our program is headed in a positive direction," Menchville girls coach Adrian Webb said.

Q: Retention Policy for sub-sites Is there a way to apply retention policies to sub-sites in SharePoint Online?
Something with PowerShell PnP where we list the sub-site URL and policy target in Excel?
We have looked at site collection policies from our farm admins, but we could have 30+ sub-sites under these site collections.  To have 1 retention policy at the site collection level and force that on all 30+ sub-sites is a bit restrictive.

A: No, it's impossible. It's a limitation in Microsoft.

Creating a high-performing business means aligning five critical elements.
Vision – The starting point is the vision or picture of your business at some point in the future. Vision answers the question: "Where are we going?" It describes the direction in which you are taking the business. Your Vision sets the context for everything you do as you grow the business.
Strategy - The articulation of your Vision begins with the written description of what you are going to do to achieve your Vision. This is your Business Plan. Strategy is defined as the systematic output of what you want to do, the resources and capabilities you have and the opportunities and challenges the environment gives you.
Structure - Your Strategy determines the Structure you require to grow your business. Structure is defined as the system of roles, role relationships and policies that define accountabilities and authorities within the organization. As you grow, the Structure of the organization will become more complex. Clear role definition is critical to the success of a business.
Systems and Processes – As you grow and your Structure becomes more complex, you will require systems such as Client Relationship Management (CRM), HR systems, inventory management systems, accounting systems etc. These systems organize workflow processes and facilitate the flow of information and knowledge throughout your business.
Skills and Knowledge (People) – Ultimately, the success of your business will depend upon the harnessing of the knowledge and skills of people, yourself included. Over time, you will require increasingly specialized skills and knowledge as your business grows.
Your Vision and Strategy describe what you want your business to become and how you will get there. Structure identifies who will be accountable for each aspect of the work required to achieve your business objectives. Systems and Skills (People) are integral to building your business.

Packing While Fishing
By February 1, 2020 Fishing 0 Comments
Carrying a weapon on the rivers and lakes is a personal decision; here's why one Northwest angler brings along a handgun when he's chasing steelhead and salmon.
Editor's note: This article originally appeared in the January 2016 issue of Northwest Sportsman, a regional magazine covering Washington, Oregon, Idaho and southern British Columbia. Follow-up thoughts from a local gun writer will appear in the March 2016 issue.
by Terry J Wiest, Steelhead University
I used to never think about packing a gun while fishing. I never had a reason to until several years back while out on the Green River alone. This would change my opinion on carrying a gun, and it still lingers in my mind some 15 years afterwards. I was wandering back to one of my "secret" holes, one I'd discovered as a teenager and had never, ever seen another angler or trace of another human at since the early 1980s. I'd only shown it to two of my fishing partners, both of whom were sworn to secrecy and who knew I'd disown them if word ever got out.
I was 20 minutes into the usual 30-minute hike on animal trails when a person appeared from nowhere. I literally almost jumped out of my waders.
The dude, who looked strung out and definitely not a fellow fisherman, asked, "Hey, you got some smokes?"
"Nope, I don't smoke," I said.
"Do you have any money?"
"Nope, I'm fishing."
"I need some money!"
"Sorry, I can't help you."
"Dude, you don't understand, I need money."
"Sorry, can't help you," I said, and walked by him.
Was I scared? Yes, sh*tless!
I reached my fishing hole but couldn't get the thought that he was stalking me out of my mind, or that I would meet up with him again on the way back to my vehicle. Neither scenario materialized, but afterwards I drove straight to a gun shop and purchased my first self-defense weapon. Now, if I'd been packing and ran into the guy, would I have drawn my weapon? No – I did not feel my life was threatened.
Would I have felt more comfortable? Hell, yes! Should my life have become threatened, I would have had the tools and knowledge available to use them. From that point on I realized that the outdoors aren't just filled with friendly fellow anglers and hunters. There are also tweakers and criminals out there.
I PICK WHEN to carry. If I'm alone, you can count on me being armed. If I'm with friends, it all depends. Drift boat or with a guide? Nope, I don't see a need. Banking it? Yep, usually gonna be packing. And that brings me to another incident.
Once, while on the Calawah River in Forks, I'd been fishing with a buddy and we decided to split up. I fished from the mouth up, while he went from the ponds down. Only about a quarter mile up the river I watched two anglers drift fishing a hole. To me, the hole was meant for a float and jig. I watched and conversed with the pair for about 10 minutes, then decided to ask if I could throw my float out.
First cast and it was "Fish on!" The dude who had been fishing the hardest was pissed off, to say the least.
"WTF … You SOB, come into my hole and steal my fish! I oughta kick your ass!"
Not wanting to cause any problems, I told the guy to take my rod. "Here, you reel it in," I said. The guy was furious, though his buddy was cracking up, saying, "Dude, you got freaking schooled!"
To me, the fish wasn't worth it. But instead of accepting my offer, the duo left, leaving me fighting the steelhead, which turned out to be a nice 10-pound native that I let go. Did I feel a need to let them know I was armed? No. Was I glad that I was? Yes.
THERE ARE DANGEROUS people out in the woods, and nobody knows that better than Northwest game wardens. You may recall the July 2010 issue's Big Pic feature on marijuana growers invading Northwest hunting grounds. And the September 2010 Dishonor Roll, which highlighted felons and others with outstanding warrants that Oregon and Washington fish and wildlife police encounter afield. The latter featured one particular license check that nearly ended up very badly.
WDFW Deputy Chief Mike Cenci described it this way:
"The small cluster of cars near the bridge over lower Crab Creek in Grant County caught Capt. Chris Anderson's attention. He and Officer Chad McGary had been on their way to focus some attention on illegal nighttime sturgeon fishing in the Columbia. It was about 8:30 p.m. What was a few minutes spent checking this group first? ESA-listed fish use this waterway and a little overt presence never hurt to remind people that any salmonids they might catch should be released. Little did Chad and Chris know that a simple license and bag check would result in nearly getting killed.
"Walking down the rocky bank, Chris found a man and his son doing what most fathers and sons should be doing, spending time together. But this was no ordinary father-son duo. The father, a man without words, silently produced his fishing license as requested. The son, who was still fishing, claimed that his license was at home in his wallet. No problem, Chris told him the officers would be able to check license status with their laptop computers. Chris decided to walk across the road to the other side of the creek and check a few anglers there, while Chad dealt with the kid with the forgotten license.
"Chad followed the 18-year-old up the bank to check on a license that probably did not exist, an act that he had done a hundred times before. As they walked, a metal-on-metal clinking sound put Chad's radar up. 'What's in your pocket?' he asked. The son turned around quickly and began reaching for his back pocket with his right hand. Trained in officer safety to control a suspect's hands, Chad moved to stop him. The reaction from the kid came as a surprise, shoving Chad
backwards.
"Chad regained his footing, just in time to find himself staring into the muzzle of a .45-caliber handgun. The familiar but sickening sound of the slide being racked back to chamber a bullet, followed by the kid spitting out the words 'Motherf%%$,' cemented the seriousness of the situation."
As it turned out, the father and son were both illegal aliens, according to Cenci, and the father was wanted on an unrelated felony warrant. They had several reasons not to want to be detained – including a Class C felony for being an alien in possession of a firearm, according to Cenci.
But what about those of us who are legally packing – how should we deal with a license check?
"Given the inspection-oriented nature of much of our work, we really never know whether a person is harboring a problem that may turn into an officer-safety issue," Cenci says. "While our officers are great with people, there is always that element of the unknown that can make us uneasy, especially if we don't understand someone's behavior, which there may be a reasonable explanation for. So, letting the officer know right away (you're carrying) is great. We appreciate and support personal defense and are fairly comfortable around firearms, provided we know where they are. Someone who lets an officer know he/she is packing is not likely to do that if they intend harm."
HUMANS ARE ONE thing. Animals are another, and wildlife encounters may warrant packing for personal protection.
When I first started carrying, it was suggested I go with a .45 for stopping power, as a 9mm would pass through a hyped-up two- or four-legged predator without stopping them. With today's enhancements to ammunition, this no longer seems the case. I've traded my .45 for a Walther PPS 9mm and feel more confident with this gun than ever before. Ballistics prove the new 9mm loads will stop an intruder with a well-placed round just as effectively as a .45. The key to me is getting off the second and third round faster and more accurately than I could with the .45 because of the added recoil.
Now, while most 9mms and .45s might thwart a cougar or small bear, don't think they are the answer while in big-bruin country – especially grizzly. While fishing Southeast Alaska's Situk River for steelhead in April with a couple of great friends, Mike Zavadlov and Steve Turner, we happened to see a huge sow downriver. We settled back in the drift boat while looking for cubs.
Sure enough, cub No. 1 and cub No. 2 scooted across the river and the sow soon followed. Having thought we'd given them enough time to move off we proceeded cautiously downriver. But suddenly the woods came alive – there was a third cub that had not yet crossed all the way! The mama bear smashed through small trees and raced towards the river, snot and spit billowing from her jowls. Thankfully for us it was a fake charge – just enough to get No. 3 safely up on shore.
Although we had a shotgun and bear spray, we all knew nothing would have stopped her. If she had wanted us, we were gone.
Do I wish I'd been packing that time? No, as I don't believe it would have made a difference. Even a .45 would have bounced right off her big old head, pissing her off even more. Indeed, packing does not rectify every situation.
THE MOST TROUBLE I've had while packing has always been the how. I packed my .45 with a shoulder holster. While I knew it was there, it was incredible bulky and not the easiest to draw under heated conditions. As I exclusively wear Simms Fishing Products while fishing, I asked the company's Northwest representative, Erick Neufield, what he suggested. He recommended I contact the guys at gunfightersinc.com, as they have the perfect solution while wearing waders.
I spoke with Woody Dixon, their sales and marketing manager who is also an avid high-lakes fisherman. Together, he and company owner and combat veteran Adam Harris developed the Kenai Chest Holster. The name alone lets you know it's for us anglers. The holster itself is made from Kydex, with each holster molded specifically for each pistol it's designed for. The company chose waterproof materials for those situations where you're out in weather all day (say, like winter steelheading).
It's also made in the Northwest. I ordered one for my Walther PPS 9mm and couldn't be happier. The fit is exact and it's extremely comfortable, almost as if it was molded to my body. A pouch is also available for a spare magazine close at hand. I've never been more confident and comfortable while packing. Should the situation ever occur, I can draw my weapon and know that it's all lined up. I also ordered a Ronin holster for those times when I pack while not fishing.
I've never seen such quality and craftsmanship in a holster that is designed with sportsmen in mind.
IS PACKING FOR everyone? Probably not. You must make that choice. Given the circumstances of your life being threatened, are you willing to take the life of another? Only you can make that choice, and you will have to live with the consequences. Every time I pack, I make a conscious decision about whether or not I'm capable of taking a life to save my own.
This is not about machismo, threats or tactics to ward others away from a fishing hole. This is about life and death – yours. NS
