Hello NakhonRatchasima
Ukraine: Court ruling on law means end for corruption cases
Ukraine: C...
MINSK, Belarus (AP) - Ukraine's Constitutional Court has struck down a law against officials enriching themselves, a move that raised concerns Wednesday about a weakening of the country's fight against endemic corruption and ability to get more aid from the International Monetary Fund.
The National Anticorruption Bureau of Ukraine, the law enforcement agency that prepares corruption cases for prosecution, said the court decision published Wednesday meant criminal proceedings in all the cases detectives were investigating would have to be closed, including "illegal enrichment" investigations of judges and other public officials. The bureau said it had about 65 cases involving a total of about $20 million.
The Constitutional Court said the law was unconstitutional because it violated the presumption-of-innocence principle by obliging suspected officials to prove their assets were legitimate, rather than obliging prosecutors to show assets were obtained through corrupt practices.
The law was introduced in 2015 to meet an International Monetary Fund demand Ukraine needed to meet to receive badly needed loans. The IMF in 2015 authorized $17.5 billion in aid to Ukraine to support reforms.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said he would instruct his government to formulate a new draft law on punishing officials for corruption and that it would be submitted to parliament as an urgent priority.
Official corruption is a major issue in Ukraine as it approaches a presidential election on March 31. On Tuesday, one of Poroshenko's top challengers in the race, Yulia Tymoshenko, called for him to be impeached following a media investigation into alleged embezzlement schemes in the country's military industries.
Hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the prosecutor general's office Wednesday to protest corruption, crying "Death to the marauders."

It's not so much to help your customers but to make sure that every staff member has the tools needed to help every customer. With this software, you make sure every member of the team is 100% prepared for the challenges ahead, making sure they are more than capable of making the scale and speed of progress that you need them to make.

Best of all, it can help to make sure your business is much more accurate when it comes to the most important part of managing your business – recruitment!
Why HRIS Software Improves Recruitment?
It's the same in any industry: construction, transport, logistics, military warfare, and sports. Having the right recruitment is the difference between success and failure. You can have all the hardware and features that you like, but with the wrong make-up to your staff, how can you ever hope to see genuine success?
With HRIS Philippines, you can help to correct this oversight. You can see staff performance much clearer and you can also enjoy a much more impressive take on the challenges of running your own business. This makes it easier to help staff and to facilitate them to do more in life; it's a very important part of picking efficient, reliable, professional and mentally engaged staff who knows exactly what they are looking for in life.

Managed correctly, this makes it so much easier for your business to avoid common industry mistakes and to make sure you are much closer to getting the kind of help that you need to make a lasting and important change to the way that your business is managed.

The app also allows interested parties to search for property agents- should they need any assistance of one.
All these features have been incorporated in the housing app after careful market research and demand analysis. The issues with comprehensive information on a small screen have been minimized and the navigation of the app has been kept exquisitely simple.
Additionally, any seller can use the app to provide information about the saleable property to housing.com by filling a simple form. Likewise, any buyer with special requests can send them to the housing team by filling a similar form.

Province of Pannonia highlighted
Pannonia (/pəˈnoʊniə/) was a province of the Roman Empire bounded on the north and east by the Danube, coterminous westward with Noricum and upper Italy, and southward with Dalmatia and upper Moesia. Pannonia was located in the territory of present-day western Hungary, eastern Austria, northern Croatia, north-western Serbia, northern Slovenia, western Slovakia and northern Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Julius Pokorny believed the name Pannonia is derived from Illyrian, from the Proto-Indo-European root pen-, "swamp, water, wet" (cf. English fen, "marsh"; Hindi pani, "water").[7] The problem with Pokorny's theory is that the meaning of remnant pen is way more likely to be found within a language descending from the non proto-indo-european ancient Latin speech than northern India, as a rule of thumb for those who attempt such delicate an endeavour in the hope of increasing their odds of success and level of respectability. Since the name of peoni/ paeoni/ peani is consecrated by legends the of old, the meaning of "feathers" from Armina peañ would take us closer to home, only to find further confirmation when adjoining with prefix ςar reconstructing ςarpean for the nearby Carpa(n)thia mountains. It should come in handy to Slavic languages, in deciphering the original meaning of their word 'Pan'. Others believe that the name is related to the god of the nature, goats and shepherds Pan and/or pan, the Proto-Slavic/Proto-Indo-European word for lord/master, which could mean Pan's Land or Land of the Master(s), which is more probable due the fact the Ionian fleet supplied Pannonia via the Black Sea and Danube, and Panionium festivities were also well known in the region to its Celtic, Adriatic Veneti and Scythian inhabitants.
Pliny the Elder, in Natural History, places the eastern regions of the Hercynium jugum, the "Hercynian mountain chain", in Pannonia (present-day Hungary) and Dacia (present-day Romania).[8] He also gives us some dramaticised description[9] of its composition, in which the close proximity of the forest trees causes competitive struggle among them (inter se rixantes). He mentions its gigantic oaks.[10] But even he—if the passage in question is not an interpolated marginal gloss—is subject to the legends of the gloomy forest. He mentions unusual birds, which have feathers that "shine like fires at night". Medieval bestiaries named these birds the Ercinee. The impenetrable nature of the Hercynian Silva hindered the last concerted Roman foray into the forest, by Drusus, during 12–9 BC: Florus asserts that Drusus invisum atque inaccessum in id tempus Hercynium saltum (Hercynia saltus, the "Hercynian ravine-land")[11]patefecit.[12]
The first inhabitants of this area known to history were the Pannonii (Pannonians), a group of Indo-European tribes akin to Illyrians. From the 4th century BC, it was invaded by various Celtic tribes. Little is heard of Pannonia until 35 BC, when its inhabitants, allies of the Dalmatians, were attacked by Augustus, who conquered and occupied Siscia (Sisak). The country was not, however, definitively subdued by the Romans until 9 BC, when it was incorporated into Illyricum, the frontier of which was thus extended as far as the Danube.
In AD 6, the Pannonians, with the Dalmatians and other Illyrian tribes, engaged in the so-called Great Illyrian Revolt, and were overcome by Tiberius and Germanicus, after a hard-fought campaign, which lasted for three years. After the rebellion was crushed in AD 9, the province of Illyricum was dissolved, and its lands were divided between the new provinces of Pannonia in the north and Dalmatia in the south. The date of the division is unknown, most certainly after AD 20 but before AD 50. The proximity of dangerous barbarian tribes (Quadi, Marcomanni) necessitated the presence of a large number of troops (seven legions in later times), and numerous fortresses were built on the bank of the Danube.
Some time between the years 102 and 107, between the first and second Dacian wars, Trajan divided the province into Pannonia Superior (western part with the capital Carnuntum), and Pannonia Inferior (eastern part with the capitals in Aquincum and Sirmium[13]). According to Ptolemy, these divisions were separated by a line drawn from Arrabona in the north to Servitium in the south; later, the boundary was placed further east. The whole country was sometimes called the Pannonias (Pannoniae).
Pannonia Superior was under the consular legate, who had formerly administered the single province, and had three legions under his control. Pannonia Inferior was at first under a praetorian legate with a single legion as the garrison; after Marcus Aurelius, it was under a consular legate, but still with only one legion. The frontier on the Danube was protected by the establishment of the two colonies Aelia Mursia and Aelia Aquincum by Hadrian.
Under Diocletian, a fourfold division of the country was made:
Pannonia Prima in the northwest, with its capital in Savaria / Sabaria, it included Upper Pannonia and the major part of Central Pannonia between the Raba and Drava,
Pannonia Valeria in the northeast, with its capital in Sopianae, it comprised the remainder of Central Pannonia between the Raba, Drava and Danube,
Pannonia Savia in the southwest, with its capital in Siscia,
Pannonia Secunda in the southeast, with its capital in Sirmium
Diocletian also moved parts of today's Slovenia out of Pannonia and incorporated them in Noricum. In 324 AD, Constantine I enlarged the borders of Roman Pannonia to the east, annexing the plains of what is now eastern Hungary, northern Serbia and western Romania up to the limes that he created: the Devil's Dykes.
In the 4th-5th century, one of the dioceses of the Roman Empire was known as the Diocese of Pannonia. It had its capital in Sirmium and included all four provinces that were formed from historical Pannonia, as well as the provinces of Dalmatia, Noricum Mediterraneum and Noricum Ripense.
During the Migrations Period in the 5th century, some parts of Pannonia was ceded to the Huns in 433 by Flavius Aetius, the magister militum of the Western Roman Empire.[14] After the collapse of the Hunnic empire in 454, large numbers of Ostrogoths were settled by Marcian in the province as foederati. The Eastern Roman Empire controlled it for a time in the 6th century, and a Byzantine province of Pannonia with its capital at Sirmium was temporarily restored, but it included only a small southeastern part of historical Pannonia.
Afterwards, it was again invaded by the Avars in the 560s, the Slavs, who first settled c. 480s but became independent only from the 7th century, and the Franks, who named a frontier march the March of Pannonia in the late 8th century. The term Pannonia was also used for a Slavic duchy that was vassal to the Franks.
Between the 5th and the 10th centuries, the romanized population of Pannonia developed the Romance Pannonian language, mainly around Lake Balaton in present-day western Hungary, where there was the keszthely culture. This language and the related culture became extinct with the arrival of the Magyars.
Cities and auxiliary forts
The native settlements consisted of pagi (cantons) containing a number of vici (villages), the majority of the large towns being of Roman origin. The cities and towns in Pannonia were:

Economy and country features
The country was fairly productive, especially after the great forests had been cleared by Probus and Galerius. Before that time, timber had been one of its most important exports. Its chief agricultural products were oats and barley, from which the inhabitants brewed a kind of beer named sabaea. Vines and olive trees were little cultivated. Pannonia was also famous for its breed of hunting dogs. Although no mention is made of its mineral wealth by the ancients, it is probable that it contained iron and silver mines. Its chief rivers were the Dravus, Savus, and Arrabo, in addition to the Danuvius (less correctly, Danubius), into which the first three rivers flow.
The ancient name Pannonia is retained in the modern term Pannonian plain.

About L.A. County's $3.5 Billion Jail Plan
Who's In Our Jails
Latino Males
Our Jails and the Mentally Ill
L.A. County has the largest population of mentally ill inmates in the country
Black people represent 43.7% of the county jail population designated with a serious mental health disability.
63% of L.A. County's jail population would be better served by a community based alternative and without charges or convictions that would block judges or prosecutors from making that happen.
Research shows that people with mental health conditions inevitably get worse in jails. The chances of developing a mental health condition for people with no previous history of mental health issues doubles once they are incarcerated.
Research shows that jail and prison conditions exacerbate drug and alcohol addictions. Both law enforcement investigations and testimony from people who have been locked up in the jails attest to the fact that drugs and homemade alcohol are plentiful inside.
Several epidemics that had been eradicated from L.A. County, or dramatically reduced, have re-emerged in the jail system including; Hepatitis C, Valley Fever, new HIV infections, tuberculosis and staph infections. When people come home they are bringing these infections with them and they spread to Los Angeles communities.
Despite Sheriff Jim McDonnell's claims that there have been significant improvements in suicide prevention in the jails, rates of self harm have quadrupled over the last five years in the jails.
$3.5 Billion Dollars and Counting
The L.A. County Board of Supervisors Wants to Build Two New Jails
While L.A. County claims it will cost $2.4 billion to construct two new jails, a conservative estimate of the total cost is $3.5 billion with the repayment of bonds but public safety experts say it could accumulate to between $5 and $7 billion. This does not include operational costs, inflation or increases in labor.
L.A. County spends more than $50,000 a year to lock up one person in jail. This cost increases for people with medical and mental health issues. Only $35 per youth is spent on after school programs, job training and other youth development opportunities. With the time it will take to build these new jails, the generation that will fill them are today's elementary and preschool children.
Despite the fact that over the last 15 years L.A. County has experienced dramatic drops in crime and now has the lowest crime rates since the 1950s, in the last decade the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's budget has increased by $1 billion. LAPD's budget has increased by $750 million. The probation department's budget has increased by more $350 million.
It costs taxpayers $65,000 a year to incarcerate someone with mental health disabilities versus between $20,000 and $25,000 a year for permanent supportive housing in the community.
Between 2009 and 2016, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has reported a 60% increase in its mentally ill population due to cuts in the social safety net.
Half of youth who have aged out of foster care in L.A. County end up homeless or incarcerated.
From the AB 109 local savings, only 23% will be distributed to programs and services that have been proven to reduce recidivism, while 55% will be given to the Sheriff's Department.
Prop. 47 has lowered California's daily average jail population by about 8,000 people, supporting JusticeLA's call for less jail beds–not more
In 2015, litigation for sheriff misconduct cost taxpayers $61 million.
Over one third of settlements for incidents inside the jails were brought by individuals with mental or physical disabilities amounting to over $5 million.
JUSTICELA'S MORATORIUM ON THE JAIL EXPANSION PLAN
It is essential for the Board of Supervisors to implement a moratorium on jail construction and expansion until there is:
An independent review of the significant change in voter priorities;
An independent and thorough review of crime data and root causes, as well as evidence of effective strategies for reducing crime and violence through the reform efforts that are already underway;
A thorough study of the potential impact of the recent influx of resources and reforms will have on the current jail population; and
An investigation into future reforms that will further reduce the jail and other custody populations. This historic moment provides L.A. County with an opportunity to develop a comprehensive approach to public safety and effectively execute already prescribed improvements and reforms to our criminal justice system through the creation of a working group charged with achieving these aims.
JusticeLA wants the Board of Supervisors to:
Adopt a framework and methodology for integrating Measure H, Proposition 47 and Proposition 57 resources to complement existing and emerging County efforts to reduce the jail population, reduce recidivism and increase public safety.
Determine the projected reductions in future jail population based on current county reform efforts – such as the recently created County Office of Diversion and Re-entry, the establishment of a Probation Oversight Commission, and the youth diversion work group – and create a more accurate assessment of future jail population accordingly;
Establish and apply a methodology to calculate local jail and probation savings from current and projected population reductions and report on projected plans to spend the anticipated state-level justice allocations;
Establish and apply a methodology to ensure appropriate funds are directed toward community-based, owned and operated crime, violence and recidivism prevention programs;
Establish and apply a methodology to ensure transparency and community engagement in determining priorities for spending allocations, including community representation on decision making bodies that ensures inclusion of individuals who have been personally impacted by detention and incarceration through their own or family involvement;
Make a comprehensive assessment of the impact of bail reform, pre-arraignment and pre-trial release on reductions on future L.A. County Jail populations.

Is one-party rule dividing America? Concentration of power can lead to overreach, backlash
By Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times - Thursday, June 27, 2013
DENVER — The Colorado and North Carolina state legislatures were unusually productive in 2013, thanks to the only thing they may have in common: one-party rule.
Polar opposites ideologically, Colorado Democrats wielded the same unchecked control this year over state government in Denver as North Carolina Republicans did in Raleigh, with predictable results. In Colorado, the upshot was a legislative session marked by sweeping new laws on gun control, election reform and benefits for illegal immigrants.
In Raleigh, meanwhile, the legislature proposed a record 18 amendments to the North Carolina Constitution, including measures aimed at curbing the government's power of eminent domain, an anti-union right-to-work provision and an expansion of concealed-carry gun laws. Colorado and North Carolina may represent the most striking examples of a national trend toward one-party control of state-level government. With Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee's recent switch from independent to Democrat, 38 states have the governor's office and the legislature controlled by the same party — the highest level in six decades.
While such one-party dominance is an almost surefire cure for gridlock, analysts say, it also points to the increasing balkanization of state governments as Democrats and Republicans move away from the political center. The concentrated power has sparked backlashes in Colorado and Minnesota on the left and Wisconsin and Michigan on the right.
"I think it's part of a trend of party polarization that we've seen for the last decade or so," said Seth Masket, a political science professor at the University of Denver. "The voters are increasingly being offered candidates who are either very liberal or conservative in elections, and there are far fewer of the moderates that we used to see win."
As a result, he said, "You end up with more states with one-party control and when you see that, you get states that get things done."
PHOTOS: One-party rule in states is dividing America
No gridlock
Indeed, state governments have shown little of the gridlock that has paralyzed the divided federal government, even on tricky budget issues. In Minnesota, Democrats — who regained control of the state in the November elections — passed a $2.1 billion tax increase at the behest of Gov. Mark Dayton targeting high-income earners, smokers and businesses.
The momentum on tax policy typically goes in the opposite direction in states where Republicans are in charge.
"Republican-led Indiana sliced income taxes and Alaska slashed oil taxes," said a June 10 report in Stateline.org, which tracks trends at the state level. "Kansas is paying for an income tax cut by hiking sales taxes (the rate will still decline next year, but less than originally set), while competing proposals in North Carolina broaden sales taxes and lower the income tax."
During the November elections, voters in 22 states elected legislatures with veto-proof majorities, meaning one party has the votes to override a gubernatorial veto. That override power was used to great effect this year in Arkansas, which elected a Republican legislature for the first time in 138 years.
Republicans used their newly elected majority to override the vetoes of Gov. Mike Beebe, a Democrat, on a slew of bills, including measures limiting abortions to the first 12 weeks of pregnancy and requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls.
Overreach
One-party control doesn't always guarantee political harmony. In Indiana, the Republican-controlled legislature this month overrode Gov. Mike Pence's veto of a local income-tax measure, one of his three vetoes of bills from his own party.
Only five states — Iowa, Kentucky, New Hampshire, New York and Washington — have split legislatures. (Nebraska has a single, nonpartisan legislative chamber, although Republicans represent the clear majority there.)
"I think we're in a phase now, and it may last a little while, but the fortunes of the parties ebb and flow," said Karl Kurtz, a political scientist at the National Conference of State Legislatures. "The one constant about American politics is that voters change."
He noted that the danger for any one-party state is overreach, and some legislators already are feeling the heat for pushing through too many bills relying on one party's dominance of the levers of state power. In Colorado, recall campaigns organized by gun rights advocates have turned in signatures aimed at ousting two Democrats, Senate President John Morse and state Sen. Angela Giron, for their votes in favor of gun control bills.
A Quinnipiac University poll released last week found that 49 percent of voters surveyed disapprove of the Colorado legislature's performance, while 36 percent approve.
"Colorado Democrats are showing the same hubris as Republicans did 10 years ago," said Denver-based Republican Party strategist Dick Wadhams. "The Democrat legislature is not popular, so I think the potential for a Republican comeback is there."
Midwestern Republican governors such as Scott Walker of Wisconsin and John Kasich of Ohio have had their agendas challenged as they moved to cut the power of public-sector unions. Mr. Walker survived a celebrated recall battle in June 2012, although some Republican state lawmakers were ousted.
The first Republican-dominated state government in more than a century in North Carolina is now the target of so-called Moral Monday weekly protests in Raleigh, led by liberal clergy members, teachers unions and environmentalists. Reuters news agency reported that almost 600 people have been jailed in the past eight weeks of protests in Raleigh, including 120 — the most so far — this week.
"They may have the votes, but we have our voices and our bodies," the Rev. William Barber, president of the state NAACP chapter, said at Monday's protest. "We are sowing a seed of resistance that will come up in communities all across this state and nation."
But Tar Heel State Republicans appear to be standing their ground on issues such as tougher voter ID laws and tax cuts and resistance to President Obama's health care law. State Sen. Thom Goolsby, New Hanover County Republican, dismissed the protests as "Moron Monday" in a biting op-ed this month.
"The circus came to the State Capitol this week, complete with clowns, a carnival barker and a sideshow," he wrote in the Chatham Journal.
Political control in closely divided states such as Colorado may continue to swing between the parties, but analysts also say the blue-red divide is likely to become the norm for most of the country for the foreseeable future.
"A lot of these one-party states are going to remain that way for some time, like Utah and Idaho on the Republican side, or Massachusetts and Vermont on the Democrat side," said Mr. Wadhams. "There used to be moderate Republicans in the Northeast and centrist Democrats in the South, but there's really no such thing as a liberal Republican or a conservative Democrat anymore."

Michiel Hötte has been involved in the conservation of Amur (Siberian) leopards and tigers since 1994. In 1997 he founded Tigris Foundation. He has worked on conservation projects for the Zoological Society of London and since 2007 he has been a project manager for the Wildlife Conservation Society.
Around 400 Amur tigers and 40 Amur leopards live in the forests of the Russian Far East near Vladivostok and adjacent areas in China. The main threats to the survival of these endangered cat species are poaching of both prey animals and the cats themselves, as well as frequent forest fires that reduce forest habitat size and quality.
Michiel's two main projects are a fire management project in the small range of the remaining 40 Amur leopards and an anti-poaching project in the four most important protected areas for Amur tigers in the Russian Far East. Both projects have been very successful. The area that burns annually has been reduced by between 80% and 99% in a 150 square kilometre project area, and poaching pressures have been reduced by around 40% in an area of 8,000 square kilometres.
"It was a great honour to have been selected from as many as 69 candidates from 40 countries by an international jury of renowned conservationists. The Award provided international recognition for 15 years of conservation work for the last remaining wild population of 30 Amur leopards in the Russian Far East and North-East China. The Award gave no small boost to my ego, but an even bigger boost to our work!
Part of the Award funds were used for the continuation of several ongoing education and anti-poaching projects. Another part was spent on fitting new caterpillar tracks to an old bulldozer and on a complete overhaul of the bulldozer's engine. The bulldozer is now used for the creation of firebreaks around a small nature reserve that suffers from very frequent human-induced forest fires. With the remaining funds we have supported two fire-fighting teams in the small range of the remaining 40 Amur leopards in Russia.

Local Film Draws Acting Talent Back to Columbus
Hope Madden
Filmmaker and Ohio native Steph Greegor is passionate about making movies locally. Her 2016 short Olsky, a film about an aging hockey player facing life's challenges, filmed around Columbus. Its success led to Greegor's latest project, The Third Period.
She held a full day of auditions for the feature last Saturday, an event that attracted actors from town, across the country and even across the globe: one actor flew in from London for a chance, and another Skype-auditioned from Australia.
Greegor will again film in Columbus, plugging into that hockey vibe and central Ohio hospitality.
"There's a sense amongst creatives and business owners that we're in this together and we want to make Columbus an interesting place, so we're going to do everything we can to make that happen," she says of filming locally.
She'll start by taking advantage of local talent. This includes casting two former OSU hockey players, Chris Olsgard and Alex Lippincott, as well as Gabby Bittner, the first female to play men's hockey for New Albany High School.
Greegor wasn't just looking for athletes, though.
"We don't want our young people who are getting a film education at Ohio State University to get that great education and then leave," she says. "You see this grassroots effort mixed in with what John Dougherty is doing with the Film Commission, mixed in with what Chris Hamel is doing at Gateway Film Center, mixed in with what all these other film folks and creative folks are trying to do to build this base of creatives in Columbus so people don't have to leave."
For that reason, the filmmaker was thrilled at the talent the project is luring home. Greegor says she saw the same phrase in many resumes:
"I'm from Columbus. I live in LA but I want to come back to audition," Greegor says. "I just kept seeing it. We have these kids leaving because they didn't feel like they could do it in Columbus and now they come back. That's awesome."
Among those LA emigrants back to audition was Katie Stottlemire. She'd filmed several features while living in Columbus, including the locally produced award winner The Street Where We Live as well as national films Tragedy Girls and My Friend Dahmer.
"Columbus is such a great place for local stuff because the people here are so passionate about what they're developing," Stottlemire says. "Steph's movie is so cool because it takes place in Columbus and it's filmed in Columbus. That doesn't always happen."
Cole Bernstein left Upper Arlington to pursue acting in LA just after the 8th grade. While she has worked steadily since leaving, she came home to audition as well.
"This is the first time really flying for an audition," says Bernstein, who's been cast as Ana Olskey, daughter of the film's main character. "It's always been a dream of mine to work in Columbus. I'm so excited there's a booming film industry here now."
Grandview native Donovan Wolfington headed west to pursue a music career after a year of studying at Ohio State.
"I started acting while I was out there," he says. "I'm excited to get to do something in my hometown."
He's modeled, appeared in several commercials and a series of short films. The Third Period will be his first feature.
"I'm excited to get to be in a project on that scale," he says. "It will be fun to be in a sports movies. I think sports movies have a unique energy."
For Aaron Massey, sports movies and working locally are nothing new. The original Mike Olskey in Greegor's short film, Massey switches roles for the feature, now playing Olskey's best friend, Tuck.
The Youngstown native relocated to LA in 2003 to act, eventually moving into additional roles of writing and directing.
"After 11 years, I decided I wanted to bring that to my home state," he says. "I moved to Columbus and it's been my home base ever since. I love being involved in the local film community."
Massey is currently in production on a feature he's helming, Mid West, also filming in Columbus. Another believer in the power of local moviemaking, he was onboard with whatever Greegor had in mind for The Third Period.
"Whatever it takes to make it and bring a film like this into Columbus, that's kind of the ultimate goal," he says. "Steph's just been leading that charge."
Working local was not the only draw for these actors, though. Greegor will be the first female in the U.S. to write and direct a full-length feature film about hockey.
"To have her doing a hockey film – a female director – that was an attractive thing for me as an actor to be involved with," says Massey.
"This is one thing that I am coming to understand is probably bigger than even I realized it was," says Greegor of her groundbreaking position. "It's one of those things that you don't realize how much it means to another woman, but it really does. I think it's really important to young women who are in the industry."
Stottlemire agrees. "I will always think it's cool to work with a female filmmaker," she says.
"Getting to be a part of that milestone is very exciting," Wolfington says.
And though Bernstein has worked with female directors on episodes of both S.W.A.T. and The Bridge, the idea of a female-helmed sports film is a big draw.
"I think it's so wonderful what she's doing," she says.
"They're just so underrepresented," says Stottlemire. "I think some people may assume it's being fixed right now, but here's such a drastic difference. I will always love working with women in the big seats, even when the day comes that there are more women in the industry than men. I'll always think it's cool."
The Third Period is set to begin filming summer of 2019.

Discover the history behind Simnel Cake and enjoy our top tips for a perfect bake.
Simnel cakes have become an Easter tradition, but originally this cake making ritual was associated with the fourth Sunday in Lent, which in medieval times was a day when people gathered at their 'mother church' to honour the local patron saint and receive a blessing. The occasion was known as 'Mothering Sunday' but the term 'mother' applied to the church. Times change and Mothering Sunday for many has become a celebration for Mothers – and maybe this is why Simnel cake has developed into one of many symbols of Easter.
Typically, Simnel cakes are decorated with eleven toasted marzipan orbs around its perimeter representing the twelve apostles, excluding Judas, and if you like to place one in the centre that would denote Jesus.
There's so many stories around how the name of this cake came about. About.com suggests that the name came from a sister (Nell) and brother (Simon) who wanted to make a cake for their mother. One wanted to bake the cake, the other to boil it. They decided to do both and bring them together in one… which became The Simnel Cake.
Delia says – and who would argue with her when it comes to cakes? – Simnel cake is a rich fruit cake which includes knobs of marzipan stirred into the mixture that melt and combine with all the other flavours during cooking. Her recipe is here. Its swan song is the marzipan decoration.
Soak the fruit for 24 hours in Brandy and fruit juice.

A diet means different things to different people. However the most common mistake made by dieters revolves around the degree to which they cut their calories. Usually, in the excitement and novelty of a new diet, we tend to cut too much. This causes a serious caloric deficit that can actually work against our weight loss goals. You may not realize that when you cut your calories too significantly, your body enters a sort of "starvation mode" that slows the metabolism and retains additional fat. Further, extreme dieting is hard, if not impossible to sustain. Eventually, when we can no longer follow our diet, we return to our former bad habits and regain weight – sometime adding even more than before.
The above illustrates why it is so important to diet in moderation. But what exactly does moderation mean? To begin with, cutting out refined sugars is a surefire way to lose weight. Refined sugars are those empty calories that offer a short-term energy boost, but no nutrition. Reducing or eliminating these sugars can curb hunger and eliminate hundreds of calories every week without sacrificing nutrition. Start by forgoing one indulgence at a time – eliminating sugar in your your tea or coffee, cutting out sodas and energy drinks and foregoing dessert, for example. Reducing some of the saturated fats you consume is also helpful in maintaining heart health and healthy cholesterol levels. Replacing processed foods with fresh fruits, vegetables and meats is the fastest way to do so. Reducing the quantity of starches you eat can also go a long way in losing weight, but remember, good starches are part of a balanced diet.
Dieting is a fine balance between calorie reduction and appropriate nutritional intake. Many of us can eliminate hundreds if not thousands of calories a week just by forgoing some of the most egregious and unnecessary items in our diets. Recognizing that dieting in moderation may be a slower, but more sustainable weight loss option can help ensure our diets are effective, safe and long-lasting.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Share New Photo of Son Archie on Duchess' 1st Mother's Day as a Mom

Royal baby feet!
On Sunday, Meghan Markle, 37, and Prince Harry, 34, celebrated the U.S.'s Mother's Day, the Duchess of Sussex's first such holiday as a mom. They marked the occasion by sharing a new photo of their newborn son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, and also appeared to pay tribute to Harry's late mother Princess Diana.
In the pic, posted on the couple's Instagram page around 9:30 a.m. PT / 1:30 p.m. GMT, only the boy's feet are shown and touched by his mom, who is wearing bright nail polish. He is wrapped in the ivory baby shawl he was first shown in earlier this week and he and his mom are pictured above a bed of purple flowers which appear to be Forget-Me-Nots, which were one of Diana's favorite kinds. The image is surrounded by a small white frame.
"Paying tribute to all mothers today - past, present, mothers-to-be, and those lost but forever remembered," the caption states. "We honor and celebrate each and every one of you. Today is Mother's Day in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Kenya, Japan, and several countries across Europe. This is the first Mother's Day for The Duchess of Sussex. Quote from [Nayyirah Waheed's 2013 poem] 'lands': my mother was my first country; the first place i ever lived."
The photo is reminiscent of typical Instagram-style baby photos, which differ from the traditional portraits the rest of the royal family has tended to share on social media. Meghan and Harry, who have been blazing their own trail, recently broke away from Kensington Palace to start their own royal household and also opened a separate SussexRoyal Instagram account. Many fans believe Meghan, who for years was an avid blogger and Instagrammer, runs her and her husband's page.
March 31 marked the U.K.'s Mother's Day.

Meghan gave birth to Archie on Monday and she and Harry debuted him to the world on Wednesday via a small photo call at Windsor Castle, where their new home of Frogmore Cottage is located. A glimpse of the child's face was shown, as he was wrapped in a baby shawl and wore a wool hat.
Meghan Markle & Prince Harry Reveal Baby Boy's Name
Hours later, they posted on their Instagram a separate image of the three, with the baby still swaddled, with Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, and Harry's grandparents, Queen Elizabeth II. At that time, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex also revealed their son's name.

Gerard van der Leun's commentary, as posted on The WELL.
Gerard van der Leun
news conf Topic 1731: Obits (continued)
# 427: Van der Leun (boswell) Mon Apr 17 95(08:04)
I knew <mandel> long before I met him. This is common enough in these days when more and more of us live second-hand and "virtually" in cybersomewhere. People bump into other people on America Online, or the Well, or some place else on the Net, and after a time arrange to meet. Meeting <mandel> though changed my life. This is uncommon on the Net where few personalities have the power, like the Velveteen Rabbit, to become real. <mandel> had the force, clarity and sheer staying power to become real. He also had the ability to make the on-line medium grow and mature. He taught me a lot about the power of the Net to make the things of the mind come alive. He taught me more still by his death.
Tom Mandel (1946-1995) was one of the foremost early members of the Well, an on-line system best known for its new age feel and high level of discussion among its members. I first fell into the Well in 1986 and within a day ran into <mandel>. It was hard not to run into <mandel> in the Well in those days. He was everywhere -- in every conference and in almost every topic. He was ubiquitous. In a very real sense, he was one of the main ingredients of the Well. His role? To be a Pain-in-the-Ass. He was very good at this. He was a Great-Pain-in-the-Ass. I loved him for it.
There was no blithe comment that disguised ignorance with style that failed to draw his fire. The was no grandiose but brain-dead theory that he could not smother with an inconvenient fact. Tom was the on-line blatherer's worst nightmare. His knowledge was wide-ranging, his opinions firmly held, his writing clear and he had facts at his fingertips to buttress his positions. He hated intellectual pretension and had no patience for fools or received wisdom. He could discuss the intricacies of the publishing business, the nature of Alzheimer's, the state of education, foreign policy, economics, the prospects of this year's baseball season, the books of Asimov or Aristotle, and the Military- Industrial complex with equal ease and assurance. If you were stupid or crossed him, he would flame you hairless -- sometimes for the sheer fun of it. He was a great and worthy opponent and a better friend.
Mandel discovered on-line conferencing while recuperating from back surgery and became, in his own terms, addicted to it. I prefer to think that in this new medium gave him a chance to make a contribution that had more direct impact on the world than his work as a professional futurist at Stanford Research Institute, a west-coast think tank. And, in the end, he did.
Besides giving the Well a wide range of innovations such as the True Confessions and Futures conferences, Tom went on to be the master builder of the Time/Warner on-line presence. But his most lasting contribution was the example of how he lived out his life and, in the end, his death openly and without apology on the Net.
In what has to be "the year of the Internet", when stories about the Net and the Web and the On-line Services and the wonders of the Information Stuporhighway cannot be escaped in any medium, there are few examples given where people can see exactly what the new medium can be in its full potential. Most of the time, we are given bromides and platitudes about all the cool stuff, all the neat software, all the "information" that is just lying out there to be found. What the Net now has in spades is content. What it needs most is a clue about how to use it, about how to live and how to be. <mandel> knew about this. He'd used the medium to discuss his childhood, his thoughts, his work and his needs. When he was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer six months ago, he used the medium to discuss the progress of his disease and, finally, as a means to say farewell to all those who knew him, not as a person, but only as <mandel>. In these final topics, continued over the months, a discerning person might finally see what this new medium could become is used openly and wisely.
What Tom Mandel knew, and what many companies and individuals still refuse to learn, is that on-line is not about selling something to someone or bringing information to the starving masses. What it is about is people wanting to connect, in a real and genuine way, to other people free of the filters of older media; to establish, no matter how ephemerally, communities of like minded souls who are not separated by the facts of geography; to create a place where it really is the content of one's character that is the first and foremost thing people see. Through his work on the Well and Time Online, Tom Mandel gave the Net an example of how to transmit your soul through the medium of conferencing.
<mandel> didn't supply software or hardware or a Net connection. <mandel> didn't make it easy to point and click your way mindlessly through mountains of data and hundreds of slow and mostly boring Web pages. What Tom gave to the Net was himself. And if you watched him long enough, you learned how to do that as well.
Given to a tendency to monstrous procrastination in his work, he loved the warp and woof and immediacy of on-line discussion. He could, it is said, "Type a hundred words a minute and think faster." Because of this and his encyclopedic mind he could lead and indeed dominate dozens of topics simultaneously. If you wanted to argue with <mandel> you'd better have your ducks in a row, a lunch packed, and be wearing your surge protector because you were in for long, wild ride.
There was nothing he would not discuss. All topics were grist to his mill, including the topic of his death. For many months on the Well and in Time Online, he had discussed with cool candor and no little emotion, the progress of his cancer as it relentlessly consumed him. The treatments and his reactions to them were set out for all to see and comment on. He kept almost nothing back.
Finally, when it became clear that no medical procedure would save him and that his remaining time in life was shorter than he had hoped, he started a discussion on the Well that he titled "My Turn". In this topic, he announced that he was going to die and be unable to participate in the medium he loved much longer. The effect was electric and hundreds of responses flowed into the topic over the next few weeks, until, upon his death, it was closed. The discussion continued, without <mandel> in the Obituary topic.
Tom Mandel died while being held by a woman that he loved and listening to Beethoven's Ode to Joy from the Ninth Symphony. At first I thought it was a beautiful way to die. Then I felt that it was, like the Net <mandel> loved and helped to grow, a thin thing, -- nice to contemplate but not really much good when you just sat still and looked at it. Poetic, but it didn't undo the sheer cold fact of his death. A fact which I do not approve of at all. Finally I decided it was as good a way to die as any and better than most. So it will have to do.
But I don't really think about that time all that much now. Instead, I think about meeting him in the world for the first time. I remember how much smaller he seemed than I had imagined him from his presence on the Net; how he seemed both tough and frail at the same time. I remember knocking back serious shots of single-malt. I remember late night rambles through Manhattan and San Francisco. I remember his apartment piled high with drifts of books, papers, tapes and monographs -- crowded with the endless subject matter that made up his mind.
And I think about the last time I spoke with him the week before he died. I apologized for not saying anything on-line in his "My Turn" topic; that I didn't have any words for that subject. He understood that, he said. I told him I'd see him somewhere a little further down the road. He understood that too. He said "I'm afraid to go there, but we all have to go. We have to be men."
And that's how we left it, Tom and I. I suppose I could always go on-line and go to the Well and read any part of the hundreds of thousands of words <mandel> left there on any subject under the sun. I could go to Time Online and read the hundreds of testimonials to him in those conferences. But somehow I don't think I will. I no longer think of him as <mandel> -- like the Net he loved and helped build that's just too thin. I think of him now as Tom Mandel, the first friend I ever made before I met him.

'Destroying the Nuclear Family': Laura Ingraham Falsely Claims New Marriage Law Takes Rights Away From Christians
No Comments on 'Destroying the Nuclear Family': Laura Ingraham Falsely Claims New Marriage Law Takes Rights Away From Christians
It was May of 2019. Joe Biden less than a month earlier had just tossed his hat into the ring to run for president amid a field of strong Democratic candidates, and Fox News host Laura Ingraham falsely suggested that the former Obama Vice President was opposed to same-sex marriage because he's a Catholic.
Telling disgraced Republican former House Speaker Newt Gingrich she was "just demonstrating how far left the Democrats have been pulled," Ingram said, "I think Obama has always been there, but the party hasn't."
"And so whether it's on the question of gay marriage or, or the issue of abortion or now gender bending and also – I mean," Ingraham continued. Her voice started to crack as she disdainfully and mockingly opined, "you gotta, you gotta sense that Biden is not comfortable with any of this. I mean, he, he's got to be like, 'my consultants are telling me I've got to say this stuff, but my God, I still got to go to Mass on Sunday. Like, I still got to figure this out.'"

Joe Biden, as Vice President seven years earlier, in 2012, had famously said on "Meet the Press" that he supported same-sex marriage, before President Barack Obama had publicly stated his support. That sent the administration into a temporary bit of chaos and set the course for, ultimately, the U.S. Supreme Court declaring same-sex marriage bans unconstitutional three years later, in 2015.
Fast forward from May of 2019 to December of 2022.
President Joe Biden on Tuesday signed the historic Respect for Marriage Act into law, requiring the federal government and states to recognize legal same-sex marriages regardless of what jurisdiction they were performed in.
Ingraham had a very different take on Tuesday than she did in 2019.

The far right Fox News host charged President Biden with "destroying the primacy of the nuclear family" and taking away the rights of "any serious person of faith."
Implying same-sex couples marrying is "aberrant behavior," Ingraham continued her years-long attack on marriage equality.
Referring to the "aberrant behavior" she had just mentioned, Ingraham declared that "today that got elevated as I mentioned earlier, at the White House."
"Joe Biden held kind of an over-the-top, you know, celebration, this extravaganza that was named the Respect for Marriage Act," which Ingraham described as "a bill that moves to restrict freedom of religion and freedom of speech even."
That's false. More than twenty faith-based organizations and even the main Mormon Church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – Mitt Romney's church – announced support for the law. Even Romney, a Republican Senator from Utah who once said he didn't know LGBTQ people had families, supports the Respect for Marriage Act.
"We are grateful for the continuing efforts of those who work to ensure the Respect for Marriage Act includes appropriate religious freedom protections while respecting the law and preserving the rights of our LGBTQ brothers and sisters," the LDS Church said, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.
Ingraham continued her false claims, saying: "whether you're Catholic or evangelical or maybe Muslim, any serious person of faith, you will not necessarily have the rights tomorrow that you had yesterday."
She did not state what rights people of faith allegedly lost on Tuesday when President Biden signed a law that changes little unless the U.S. Supreme Court overturns any of several decisions, including those that made constitutional access to contraception, same-sex intimacy, and same-sex marriage.

After attacking a drag queen who was one of apparently thousands invited to celebrate President Biden signing the Respect for Marriage Act into law, Ingraham issued a warning.
"Let's be very clear here. This push by the left, Biden included, is about destroying the primacy of the nuclear family."
That, too, is false.
