Celebrating Juneteenth
Juneteenth, celebrated June 19, marks the day enslaved Texans learned they were free in June of 1865. While the history of the holiday includes the injustice of enslavement, Juneteenth should also be understood in the context of Black people's fight for justice and freedom. As Staff Writer Coshandra Dillard notes, "Students, particularly Black students, can find empowerment in the jubilant celebrations of culture, activism and the humanity of a people."
Teaching Juneteenth
The history of Juneteenth acknowledges hard history while also empowering students to be advocates for change.
Happy Juneteenth!
The emancipation story remains largely incomplete, over 150 years later.
What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?
"What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?" is a speech by abolitionist Frederick Douglass. Douglass, who himself escaped enslavement years before, gave the speech on July 5, 1852 at an Independence Day celebration in Rochester, New York.

Justia › US Law › US Case Law › US Supreme Court › Volume 241 › Stowe v. Harvey
Stowe v. Harvey, 241 U.S. 199 (1916)
Stowe v. Harvey
Argued April 27, 28, 1916
Decided May 8, 1916
In this case, the substantial controversy was whether a transfer made by the bankrupt to his wife of certain valuable certificates of stock was made before or after insolvency, and, notwithstanding doubts engendered by conflicting statements and questionable circumstances and the different conclusion reached by the trial court, this Court agrees with the conclusion reached by the circuit court of appeals that the gift was made during the period of solvency.
In California, where the bankrupt resided, title to stock may be transferred by delivery of certificates, and the corporate books are not for public information.
219 F. 17 affirmed.
The facts, which involve the legality of a transfer of assets made by the bankrupt more than four months prior to the filing of the petition, are stated in the opinion.
APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
MR. JUSTICE McREYNOLDS delivered the opinion of the Court.
J. Downey Harvey of San Francisco was adjudged a bankrupt November 17, 1911. Appellant, having become trustee of the estate, instituted this proceeding to set aside a transfer by the bankrupt to his wife, defendant in error, of certain stock in Shore Line Investment Company, because made without consideration and with intent to delay and defraud his creditors. The complaint alleges that the gift was made and stock transferred in November, 1909, when it is admitted Harvey was insolvent. Mrs. Harvey maintains that her husband gave the stock and actually delivered the properly indorsed certificate to her in 1905, during all of which year his solvency is conceded. The substantial controversy throughout has been upon the question of fact thus raised.
Having heard witnesses, the trial court held the transfer was made in 1909, and rendered a decree in favor of the trustee. The circuit court of appeals, after a careful review of the evidence, reached a contrary conclusion. 219 F. 17. We are now asked to reverse its decree and sustain the trial court.
Notwithstanding doubts necessarily engendered by some conflicting statements and questionable circumstances, upon consideration of the whole record, we think the decision of the circuit court of appeals is correct.
Appellant also suggests (a) that the gift is void because Mrs. Harvey permitted her husband for more than four years to retain apparent title to the stock and hold himself out as its real owner, and (b) that there was no actual and continuous change of possession, as required by the state statute against fraudulent conveyances. In reply to these suggestions, it seems only necessary to cite National Bank v. Western Pacific Ry. Co., 157 Cal. 573, 581, which announces as settled doctrine in California
that title to stock may be transferred by delivery of certificates, and corporate books are not for public information.
The judgment of the circuit court of appeals is affirmed.
MR. JUSTICE McKENNA took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.

Millions of Muslims hit the seas, tracks and roads as they head home to celebrate Eid al-Fitr with their families to mark the end of Ramadan
Eid al-Fitr, or the Festival of Breaking the Fast, marks the end of Ramadan, a holy month of fasting for Muslims
Dates of month change based on sightings of the new moon by local religious authorities and differ by area
Incredible snaps show crowded ferries, trains and roads in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Turkey ahead of Eid
By Dianne Apen-sadler For Mailonline
Millions of Muslims across the globe hit the seas, tracks and roads today as they prepared to head home to celebrate Eid al-Fitr.
Incredible photos show desperate travellers clambering on to the roof of a train packed to the rafters in Bangladesh, while shots from Pakistan feature beauticians applying henna designs to rows of women.
Eid al-Fitr, or the Festival of Breaking the Fast, marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month in which Muslims fast between sunrise and sunset.
The dates of the month change based on the sightings of the new moon by local religious authorities, meaning the exact dates, and its duration - which is 29 to 30 days - change by area.
In the lead up to Eid traffic jams are common across Muslim-majority countries as families hurry to get home for the celebrations.
Some countries have national holidays for Eid, which falls on the first day of the month after Ramadan, known as Shawwal.
The new moon has been spotted in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and Eid celebrations are set to begin today.

Foggy Mountain Top
The song of the week is 'Foggy Mountain Top' in the key of G.
Earl Taylor & Jim McCall - key of G
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYPV958N0_g
Doc Watson, Earl Scruggs, & Ricky Skaggs - key of G
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M06bCshmjQc&list=PLrKc0UaxjO0BfsX2Y0PFFr3q_G85nX7PY&index=3
Jason Homey & The Snake River Boys - key of G (starts at 15:36)

Jam Videos
Here are three youtube jam videos I have made for Foggy Mountain Top. I recommend starting with the one listed first. (Go to the 7:29 mark in the video.) In that one, I am on guitar.
Jason's YouTube Links – Alphabetical Listing – Parisology (cyberplasm.com)
The chord progression for Foggy Mountain Top is:
This is Prog. V6 on the Basic Chord Progressions handout.
In the key of G: 1=G, 4=C, 5=D.
Other songs that use this same progression include:
All The Good Times Are Past And Gone
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot (some versions)
Light At The River
I'll Never Shed Another Tear
Purple Robe
Why You Been Gone So Long
Why Should We Try Anymore
Additionally, there are many songs that use this progression for their verses, but use a different progression for their chorus (in most cases, the closely related Prog. X6).
Little Cabin Home On The Hill
Before I Met You
Cabin In Caroline
Gonna Settle Down
Little Girl Of Mine In Tennessee
Little Old Log Cabin In The Lane
Hallelujah, I'm Ready To Go
Lovesick And Sorrow
Memories Of You (also known as 'The Old Swinging Bridge')
Compare the progression for Foggy Mountain Top (V6) with the progression for another one of the songs on the main list, 'Bury Me Beneath The Willow':
Notice how similar these two progressions are. They differ from each other only in two of their measures, namely the last measure of line 1 and last measure of line 3.
Part of the practical value of observing how certain commonly recurring progressions are similar and different from each other is that by taking note of this, one can help oneself to avoid certain common mistakes.
In my years of jamming experience, I have noticed that a lot of people seem to be more familiar with prog. V7 than with prog. V6. At large jams, when a song that uses prog. V6 is played, I have found that it is typical to find at least one person playing prog. V7 for the first round or two through the progression. I count this as being one of the top half dozen or so errors involving wrong chord changes that occur at jams. Yet, the opposite case - namely, someone playing Prog. V6 during a song that uses Prog. V7 - rarely ever occurs at jams.
Another way to put this is that when the first three measures are 114, there is a tendency to assume that the fourth measure will stay on the 4 instead of going back to the 1.
This assumption should be avoided, because songs with the 'Foggy Mountain Top' (V6) progression are very common in bluegrass, even if not quite as common as songs with the 'Bury Me Beneath The Willow' (V7) progression.
Pickup Notes
On the Doc Watson, Earl Scruggs, and Ricky Skaggs recording of Foggy Mountain Top, notice Doc's choice of pickup notes to lead into the first complete measure of his intro break on guitar: G, B, C, which ascend to a D note. This is the same series of notes that the melody of 'When The Saints Go Marching In' begins with, and is much more effective for starting a break than if one were to use the D half-note as a pickup that is written on the Foggy Mountain Top melody sheets at the bottom of this write-up.
1 3 4 leading to 5
do mi fa leading to sol
Key of G: G B C D
Key of A: A C# D E
Key of Bb: Bb D Eb F
Key of B: B D# E F#
Key of C: C E F G
Key of D: D F# G A
Key of E: E G# A B
Key of F: F A Bb C
This is a good case in point illustrating how it is often not desirable to slavishly follow the sung melody when playing a melody-based break. An alternative choice of pickup notes to use to ascend into the D note that the first complete measure begins with is: B, C, C#, and this is the choice of notes that you will often hear played on banjo and fiddle on bluegrass records as pickups to lead into a melody line that starts with a D note on a G chord. These are the very first notes played on the banjo on the other two recordings provided here for Foggy Mountain Top (a D note is played along with each of the chromatically ascending pickup notes, which is typical on banjo). These are the same pickup notes I recommended for starting breaks for Bury Me Beneath The Willow in the song of the week write up for that song. Refer back to the section on 'Pickups into Breaks' in that write up:
Beginner Bluegrass Jam Songs - Idaho Bluegrass Association
Fill-in Licks
The places in the Foggy Mountain Top progression where it works well to play a fill-in lick in breaks and in backup playing are exactly the same as the places in the Bury Me Beneath The Willow progression where it works well to play a fill-in lick. Refer back to the attachments and the section on 'Fill-in Licks' in the song of the week write up for Bury Me Beneath The Willow:
On the melody sheets for Foggy Mountain Top provided at the bottom of this write-up, notice that during the 5 chord measures in line 2 of the progression, the main melody note that is dwelt on is the second note of the Major Scale.
2nd note of the Major Scale (re)
5 Chord (the fifth of the 5 chord)
Key of G: D A
Key of A: E B
Key of Bb: F C
Key of B: F# C#
Key of C: G D
Key of D: A E
Key of E: B F#
Key of F: C G
This is extremely common in songs that have 1155 as the second line of their progression. Other songs on the current main list and additional songs list in which this happens are All The Good Times Are Past And Gone (Prog. V6), Beautiful Brown Eyes (Prog. W7), Bury Me Beneath The Willow (Prog. V7), Gathering Flowers From The Hillside (Prog. V1), Mama Don't Allow (Prog. V2), New River Train (Prog. W2), The Crawdad Song (Prog. V2), I'll Still Write Your Name In The Sand (Prog. V7), Little Cabin Home On The Hill (Prog. V6 + X6), A Memory Of You (Prog. V7), Red River Valley (Prog. V2 or W2), She'll Be Coming Round The Mountain (Prog. V2), When The Saints Go Marching In (Prog. V2), and Will You Be Loving Another Man (Prog. V2). The two exceptions to this are Amazing Grace (Prog. V6) and Wreck Of The Old '97 (Prog. V7)
Lyrics & Arrangement
There are two verses sung for Foggy Mountain Top on the Earl Taylor and Jim McCall recording. There are four verses sung for the song on the Doc Watson, Earl Scruggs, and Ricky Skaggs recording. In the four verse version of the song, the verses in the two verse version occur as verses 1 and 3.
Most times when I have sung Foggy Mountain Top at the jams, I have used only the first 3 verses of the four verse version. But, no matter how few or how many verses I end up singing, I almost always have had the song start as: break, chorus, break, verse 1, chorus, etc. (like on the Earl Taylor and Jim McCall recording, and on the Snake River Boys recording), rather than as: break, verse 1, chorus, break, verse 2, etc.
The melody sheets provided at the bottom of this write-up show the standard set of lyrics for the chorus.
Since the starting note for the melody of the chorus is the fifth of the 1 chord (a D note when in the key of G), the starting note for the tenor harmony is the root note of the 1 chord (a G note when in the key of G), and the starting note for the baritone harmony is the third of the 1 chord (a B note when in the key of G).
The last note for the tenor harmony is the third of the 1 chord (sung a minor sixth lower than the starting note of the tenor harmony), and the last note for the baritone harmony is the fifth of the 1 chord (sung a major sixth lower than the starting note of the baritone harmony), for, as in the vast majority of songs, the melody ends with the root note of the 1 chord.
The Carter Family
A good number of songs that are now in the standard bluegrass repertoire were recorded by the Carter Family in the 1920's, 30's, and early 40's before Bluegrass music, in the generally accepted sense of the term, came into being, and their recordings of these songs directly influenced the first and second generation bluegrass artists who brought these songs into Bluegrass. (Both Flatt & Scruggs and Ralph Stanley, for instance, have recorded entire albums consisting of nothing but Carter Family songs, and there are many, many more of these songs scattered here and there on their other albums.)
The 'pre-Bluegrass' music of the Carter Family bears a similar relation to Bluegrass as what the music of Woody Guthrie has to the 'Pop-Folk' music genre of the 60s. So, for historical reasons, and because I believe that familiarity with the music of the Carter Family is an important part of a well-rounded Bluegrass education, here is a link to the old Carter Family recording of Foggy Mountain Top:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnzjYS1iYJw
Other Carter Family songs that are on the current main list and additional songs list include:
Bury Me Beneath The Willow (the very first song that the Carters recorded)
Gathering Flowers From The Hillside
My Home's Across The Blue Ridge Mountains
Will The Circle Be Unbroken (there were earlier recorded versions, but they did not have much influence on how this song is played as a Bluegrass song compared to the Carter Family's version)
Gold Watch And Chain
Worried Man Blues
16 songs were played at last night's jam: 9 from the main list, 2 from the additional songs list, and 5 that are on neither list:
Boil The Cabbage Down - A
Bury Me Beneath The Willow - A
Cripple Creek - A

Syria has been suffering from a drought for the past five years. Like other Middle Eastern countries, Syria's demand for water in the industrial and agricultural sectors, which comprise 90 percent of its entire water consumption, has increased over the past few years. The severe lack of rain this winter exacerbates the problem.
Mufak Khalouf, the head of the Damascus Water Supply and Sewerage Authority, recently spoke at a special conference in Damascus, and warned that the city might remain without water. "If we don't do something fast, we'll be facing a catastrophe we have not witnessed for the past 50 years," he said.
A study by Japan's International Cooperation Agency concluded that Syria will have to spend billions of dollars to prevent a severe water crisis in Damascus. The Japanese government already funded a $50 million project to help replace 100 kilometers of piping in the city in 2004. They also stated they intend to continue investing in Syrian water projects, which many include a $2 billion water transportation project from the Euphrates River to Damascus.
Will Climate Change Reduce Or Increase Middle East Rainfall?
As you know, the Rain-God Ball was the 'biggest' God in the Levante Area. So when I visit Syria in winter 2000/2001 my family, friends and neighbours complaind, that over a period of 10 years the rain has fallen less and less.
So it seem that this works even better then the Cloudbuster-Rainmaking of the Wilhelm-Reich-Scholars.

VIDEO: Pepper Spray Used At Another California Student Protest : The Two-Way Students at Santa Monica College were trying to get into a board of trustees meeting. During shouting and pushing with campus police, some were doused with pepper spray.
VIDEO: Pepper Spray Used At Another California Student Protest
April 4, 20128:20 AM ET
The Associated Press YouTube
While the setting — a California campus — and the fact that pepper spray was used on protesters will remind many of last year's "pepper spray cop" incident at U.C. Davis, you can see in the videos popping up on YouTube that what happened last night at Santa Monica College, a public two-year institution, was a much different scene.
The Occupy UC Davis protesters were pepper sprayed as they sat in an act of civil disobedience. Tuesday night at Santa Monica College, "about 100 students protesting a plan to offer high-priced courses ... tried to storm into a meeting of the college's Board of Trustees," the Los Angeles Times reports.
And it was during all the shouting and pushing that someone — it's believed to have been a campus police officer — deployed the pepper spray. As the raw video posted by The Associated Press shows, the already chaotic scene got even more raucous.

Since we were staying in between Fort Myers and Naples, we were going to try and hit up both locations in the short time we had. We definitely took advantage of the beaches and the warm weather by relaxing quite a bit, but we also wanted to get out and explore a few different things. Not only that, but our friends were staying just south of Naples so we got a chance to meet up with them as well.
Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary was not very far from where we were staying in terms of actual distance, but because there are no roads directly through there, we had to drive all the way around it. Once there, we paid the entry fee and started walking down the boardwalk. The entire path is about 2.5 miles but there were still some areas that were closed off from the damage from Hurricane Irma. We had hoped to see more alligators while we were visiting, but were not lucky enough to see them. However, we did see a ton of birds and some really crazy Cypress trees. The area is well worth the visit, even if you don't see any wildlife, it's an extremely tranquil walk through the marshlands.
We met up with our friends Paul and Heather of the Roamin' Ryans at the Naples Botanical Center for their night lights demonstration. While it was nice to hang out with them for the evening, and it was kind of cool to walk through the gardens, we felt that it wasn't anything extravagant and that they could have done a lot more. Especially since it cost us $40 just to get into the gardens. They did have music and a few drink stands throughout the grounds, but it just could have been cooler. We wouldn't mind going back to see the gardens in the daytime.
Sanibel and Captiva Island are known for the crazy amount of seashells that cover the beaches, so we wanted to go check them out. We drove out to Sanibel Island and tried to pick up some lunch but both of the restaurants we went to were closed. Boo!! The first was because of an emergency, and the other was because of complications from Irma. So we ended up just picking up chips and hummus from the grocery store and some extra snacks. Once we arrived at Bowers Beach, we paid the $5 / hour to park which felt pretty steep to us, and then walked about 5 minutes until we actually got to the beach.
The beach itself was pretty secluded as there aren't any hotels or condos right off the beach and so there were only maybe a dozen families or so. This allowed us to post up in a spot where we had our own area to relax and soak up some sun. They weren't lying that there are a ton of seashells on the beach and when they get between your foot and your sandals, they can feel like tiny shards of glass stabbing you, but they are very cool to see in such large quantities. We walked down to where nobody else was and launched our drone to do a few fly-bys and take a few photos as well. We spent a good two and a half hours just relaxing on the beach before heading back home for the day.
We had already been to Sanibel Island but wanted to go do some more exploring. The J. N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge kept coming up as a top rated excursion in the area so we decided to check it out. There are two options for exploring the area, you can walk the free boardwalk trail, or you can pay the $5 vehicle cost to drive the 4-mile road that runs through the entire refuge. We elected to pay the $5 and do the driving tour.
While on the driving tour, we saw pretty much all of the wildlife we wanted to see. White pelicans, egrets, cormorants, the elusive roseate spoonbills, a bald eagle fishing in the lake, tons of other birds, fish, clams spitting water, jumping fish, and yes, even an alligator! What really bothered us, however, was how much they stressed that we were entering into a wildlife refuge and how many fishermen we saw along the way. Fish aren't even safe in a wildlife refuge… There were even signs stating what kind of crabbing you can do. We really can't fathom how you can have a refuge and allow animals to be murdered there.

Planning through Coronavirus
Robert Jenrick's statement about updating the planning system and a new planning white paper on Thursday 12 March already seems like a distant memory. It was proposed that the white paper will establish a planning system that works for the next century through a number of measures including maximising the use of new technologies.
The white paper which was due to be published in the spring is likely to be delayed. Measures which help to modernise the planning system and keep it moving during the current lock down of development sites due to Coronavirus (Covid-19), are needed now to provide certainty in the planning system both in the immediate and long term.
Planning permissions are granted for a fixed period in which time the planning permission must commence, being 3 years for a full planning permission and for outline consents, 3 years for submission of reserved matters and 2 years for implementation following final approval.
Following the financial crash of 2008, the ability to extend extant permissions was introduced. This had the effect of saving permissions which could then be implemented when economic conditions improved. A similar provision (with a light touch application process) would be welcomed to extend planning permissions until you can get back on site again.
Timing of payment for section 106 contributions, CIL demands and viability appraisals are of equal concern as is the ability to serve notices and carry out consultation.
Carrying out of face to face pre-application and planning meetings is not possible and draft regulations to allow virtual planning committees to take place have only just been published. Nevertheless many local authorities are continuing to issue planning decisions, either through the use of extended officer delegations or by reducing the size of planning committees, to enable councillors to meet whilst still observing isolating rules.
All planning appeal hearings and inquiries have been postponed. The planning inspectorate's (PINS) guidance from 17 March 2020 provides that they are considering the feasibility of technological solutions to enable appeals to proceed, but those solutions need to ensure fairness for all parties involved. PINS will need to grapple with the legal principles to allow all parties to participate in the process remotely, perhaps taking their lead from the Magistrates Courts who routinely hold hearings via video link.
Extended permitted development rights
Planning rules have been relaxed temporarily so that pubs and restaurants can operate as hot food takeaways. Further permitted development rights might be required to allow housing associations to use their assets to support the Covid-19 response.
Relaxation of other national and local requirements may help with the supply of housing delivery post Covid-19, for instance reducing local validation requirements or the requirement to enter into section 106 agreements before planning permission is granted, which could instead be imposed by a Grampian planning condition.
In his final letter to local planning authorities, Steve Quartermain, Chief Planner has advised local authorities to be pragmatic and, where possible, to work proactively with applicants and where necessary agreeing an extended period for making decisions.
Let's hope that local planning authorities follow this advice. We would nevertheless recommend proactively engaging with them about how to keep your consented planning permissions alive. Our next article will provide some practical solutions on how to achieve this.

In Chapter 8 of the Elements of Writing Fiction: Characters & Viewpoint, Orson Scott Card breaks down the three types of characters and their importance in a novel. Here is the excerpt:
1. Walk-ons and placeholders. You won't develop these characters at all: they're just people in the background, meant to lend realism or perform a simple function and then disappear, forgotten.
2. Minor Characters. These characters may make a difference in the plot, but we aren't supposed to get emotionally involved with them, either negatively or positively. We don't expect them to keep showing up in the story. Their desires and actions might cause a twist in the story, but play no role in shaping its ongoing flow. In fact, rule of thumb is that a minor character does one or two things in the story and then disappears.
3. Major Characters. This group includes the people we care about; we love them or hate them, fear them or hope they succeed. They show up again and again in the story. The story is, to one degree or another, about them, and we expect to find out what happens to them by the end. Their desired and actions drive the story forward and carry it through all its twists and turns.
This definition was published in 1988, and from the way I see books and television going, minor characters have gone from being in the background to being more involved in their stories. For instance, look at the television show CHUCK. The series revolves around a typical computer geek, Chuck, who ends up with a military super computer inside of his head. There are two government agents (Casey and Sarah) assigned to protect him and go on missions using his new found "power" to help gather intel. That's the major plot of the series, and if that element goes missing, you lose the essence of the story in the early seasons.
However, you also have the stories of Elle and Devon – Chuck's sister and her "awesome" fiancé – as well as Morgan, Lester, Jeff and the rest of the staff at the Buy More. The actions that happen within these two minor character groups sometimes have major affects on the story, or sometimes happen completely separate from the story and run parallel to the mission of the week.
Card's definition would make Casey, Sarah and Chuck the major characters. His definition would also state that we should not get emotionally involved with anyone else. But what is Chuck without these other characters then, even if they are not involved with the story, nor are they even seen consistently week to week? They have no effect most of the time at all on the "missions" that Chuck goes on, but yet they get a good amount of screen time for their own subplots, and affect the main character's relationships with each other at times.
Are they major characters though? No. You can remove their element from the episodes and the stories will still continue on. But do they fall into the Card's definition of minor characters? No.
From my experience, there is a group of characters that falls between the two definitions – the "Minor" Main Character: people who slip in and out of the story but appear in stories or episodes that capture the attention of an audience that moves them beyond the rank of a minor character. The audience gets attached to them. They want to see more of these characters. They cry when these characters are killed off.
And in some instances, fans of certain shows have such strong attachments to minor characters that they can even change the writer's minds on killing off a character and expanding them into even a major character – I.E. Spike in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series was only supposed to last for a few episodes and then die at the end of the season he premiered in. Instead he lived on, became a major character through the rest of the series, and even was pulled into the series Angel because the fans did not want to see him go.
Another example is Wedge Antilles in the Star Wars empire. Wedge was the X-Wing pilot in A New Hope who pulled out of the trench before Biggs was shot (for those who don't know). To date now, Wedge has been immortalized in no less than a dozen Star Wars novels – 9 of which as a main character – as well as a successful comic series by Dark Horse comics and written by Michael Stackpole. Not bad for a guy that had 3 lines and maybe 2 minutes combined of screen time in A New Hope, and another 6 or 7 lines in the sequels with about 3 more minutes of screen time total.
When you are writing, look at your minor characters and see how you use them. Are they just there to deliver dialogue and walk off, or are they an important part of your Main Character's lives. Do they show a personality that you want to explore more? If so, let them be a bit louder – but not too loud as to shift the story plot away or disrupt the hierarchy of who the main people really are. Let them have their five minutes of read time. Rein them back if they start to get out of control. Perhaps they hold clues for you when the story seems to come to a standstill. Maybe they are actually main characters you didn't realize you needed.
And who knows, they may end up being the gateway to another series for you when you think the story is done: that means more work, more stories and more fun in a world you've already spent so much time creating, but through a new set of eyes.

Fire Marine Ins. Co. v. Loving
Saucier v. Life & Casualty Ins.
None of these cases can, therefore, be relied on as authority in any situation where an agent is acting…
Fire Ins. Co. v. Price
As to all other matters and things, the principles of the common law govern. This construction of the statute…
Full title:ST. PAUL FIRE MARINE INS. CO. v. LOVING
Court:Supreme Court of Mississippi, Division B
Date published: Apr 11, 1932
140 So. 727 (Miss. 1932)
140 So. 727
Supreme Court of Mississippi, Division B
In St. Paul F. M. Co. v. Loving, 163 Miss. 114, 140 So. 727, the case was based on the statute, although it was stated that the agent there was a general agent, because of his various duties.
Summary of this case from Saucier v. Life & Casualty Ins.
1. INSURANCE. Evidence held to support finding that insured, under fire and theft policy, did not represent to insurer's agent that automobile was bought new, as stated in policy.
Fire and theft insurance policy issued to plaintiff contained representation that plaintiff had purchased the automobile for a stipulated price "new in December, 1930." Policy contained stipulation by the terms of which plaintiff warranted the truth of that statement, and a provision that if the statement was not true the policy should be void. Insurer, after theft of automobile and destruction by fire, refused payment under the terms of policy upon the ground that the plaintiff had purchased the car secondhand, and not new, and that therefore the policy was void.
2. REFORMATION OF INSTRUMENTS.
Evidence held to support finding that representation in fire and theft policy, that insured purchased automobile new, resulted through misunderstanding and fault of insurer, warranting reformation (Code 1930, section 5196).
3. INSURANCE.
Insurer's agent who inspects risk, issues and delivers policy and collects premium is "general agent" of insurer, and therefore his knowledge is knowledge of insurer (Code 1930, section 5196).
Where general agent of insurer makes independent investigation regarding description, character, and condition of property to be insured, and in policy erroneously describes property, equity will reform policy to effectuate parties' intention.
APPEAL from the Chancery Court of Harrison County. HON. D.M. RUSSELL, Chancellor.
T.J. Wills, of Hattiesburg, for appellant.
There is a strong presumption that parties who have reduced their agreement to writing have deliberately, adequately and honestly expressed their agreement therein. The evidence to reform such an instrument, to correct alleged mistakes therein or to vary the terms thereof must be clear and convincing — so clear as to be almost free from doubt.
Griffith's Miss. Chan. Prac., par. 589 and Miss. cases cited in footnote 79.
Whether or not a party actually read his policy after it came into his possession, he is bound by the warranties which he made in answer to certain material facts necessary to the making incidentally of the contract.
Springfield Fire Marine Insurance Co. v. Nix, 138 So. 598.
The court cannot rewrite this policy of insurance so as to make a different contract than that made by the parties. The provision in the policy was valid and binding.
Home Insurance Company v. Harding, 139 So. 603.
R.A. Wallace, of Gulfport, for appellee.
Where an agent of an insurance company inspects a risk, accepts on application for insurance for his principal, issues and delivers the policy of insurance for his principal, and accepts and receipts for the premium due upon the policy of insurance, he is a general agent for the company, and knowledge to him is knowledge to the company.
Sec. 5196, Code 1930; Big Creek Drug Co. v. Stuyvesant Ins. Co., 115 Miss. 333, 75 So. 768, 76 So. 548; Lamar Life Ins. Co. v. Kemp, 154 Miss. 890, 124 So. 62; Interstate Life Accident Ins. Co. v. Ruble, 133 So. 223; Agricultural Ins. Co. v. Anderson, 120 Miss. 278, 82 So. 146; Hartford Fire Ins. Co. v. Clark, 154 Miss. 418, 122 So. 551.
Where the agent of an insurance company makes an independent investigation of his own as to the description of an automobile to be insured by his principal, and, in the issuance of a policy of insurance by him for his principal, he erroneously describes the automobile in the policy of insurance covering it, a court of equity will reform the policy of insurance so that it will correctly recite the true description of it, and effectuate the intention of the assured and the insurer.
Big Creek Drug Co. v. Stuyvesant Ins. Co., 115 Miss. 333, 75 So. 768; Agricultural Ins. Co. v. Anderson, 120 Miss. 278, 82 So. 146; Hartford Fire Ins. Co. v. Clark, 154 Miss. 418, 122 So. 551; McAllister v. Richardson, 103 Miss. 418, 66 So. 570.
Anderson, J., delivered the opinion of the court.
Appellant insured appellee's De Soto eight-cylinder automobile in the sum of one thousand, one hundred fifty dollars against loss by theft or fire. The policy of insurance contained the representation that appellee had purchased the car for one thousand, one hundred fifty dollars new in December, 1930. There was also a stipulation in the policy by the terms of which appellee warranted the truth of that statement, and a provision that if the statement was not true the policy should be void. Appellee's car was stolen and destroyed by fire. She made claim to appellant for the loss. Appellant refused payment upon the ground that appellee had purchased the car secondhand and not new, and therefore under the policy there was no liability. Appellee thereupon filed her bill seeking to reform the policy and recover the loss upon the ground of mutual mistake between the parties in that when the car was insured it was not represented by appellee and understood by appellant, that she had bought it new, as set forth in the policy. Appellant answered the bill denying its material allegations. There was a hearing on bill, answer, and proofs resulting in a decree reforming the policy as prayed for in appellee's bill, and awarding her the sum of one thousand, one hundred fifty dollars, the value of the car. From that decree appellant prosecutes this appeal.
There was no real conflict in the evidence, which was substantially as follows: On the 16th day of December, 1930, appellee purchased from her brother-in-law, A.G. Woodcock, the car, — a De Soto straight eight, four-door sedan, model 1930, motor No. 13079, serial No. L-115 HD — for which she paid him the sum of one thousand, one hundred fifty dollars. Woodcock had purchased the car new about two and a half months prior to the time he sold it to appellee, paying therefor the sum of one thousand, two hundred fifty dollars. The car had been run about three thousand miles when purchased by appellee. One thousand, two hundred fifty dollars was the cash selling price of the car new at Gulfport. When the appellee bought the car it appeared to be new and was in excellent condition and had a cash value of one thousand, one hundred fifty dollars. Four days after appellee bought the car she requested Mr. Palmer of the Palmer Insurance Agency of Gulfport, the agent of appellant, to insure it against loss by theft and fire. In obedience to that request Palmer went to the home of appellee to examine the car. There he found it parked in front of her residence. Appellee had never owned an automobile before and so informed Palmer. Palmer asked her when she purchased the automobile and what she paid for it, and whether there was any balance due on the purchase money. Appellee answered these questions truthfully. She told him that she had bought it on the sixteenth day of December, 1930, for one thousand one hundred fifty dollars, and had paid in cash the entire purchase price. Thereupon Palmer proceeded to make an independent investigation of the car. He took its make, model, motor number, and serial number. Palmer did not ask appellee whether she had bought the car new, but asked her when she bought it. After examining the car Palmer returned to his office, prepared the policy of insurance, countersigned it as the agent of the appellant, and mailed it to the appellee and collected the premium from her.
Appellee did not read the policy until after she had received notice from appellant denying liability upon the ground above stated. In addition to the statement in the policy that the appellee had bought the car new, there was also the statement that it was a 1931 model, when in fact it was a 1930 model. The policy also contained an error in the spelling of appellee's name.
The chancellor found as a fact from the evidence that appellee did not represent to appellant that she had bought the car new. We think that finding of fact by the chancellor was amply justified by the evidence, as was also his finding that the representation in the policy that appellee had bought the car new was by misunderstanding and fault of the appellant inserted therein.
Section 5196 of the Code of 1930, provides as follows: "Every person who solicits insurance on behalf of any insurance company, or who takes or transmits, other than for himself, an application for insurance, or a policy of insurance, or who advertises or otherwise gives notice that he will receive or transmit the same, or who shall receive or deliver a policy of insurance of any such company, or who shall examine or inspect any risk, or receive, collect or transmit any premium of insurance, or make or forward a diagram of any building, or do or perform any other act or thing in the making or consummation of any contract of insurance, for or with any such insurance company, other than for himself, or who shall examine into or adjust or aid in adjusting any loss for or on behalf of any such insurance company, whether any of such acts shall be done at the instance, or request, or by the employment of the insurance company, or of, or by any broker or other person, shall be held to be the agent of the company for which the act is done or the risk is taken as to all the duties and liabilities imposed by law, whatever conditions or stipulations may be contained in the policy or contract; such person knowingly procuring by fraudulent representations, payment, or the obligation for the payment, of a premium of insurance, shall be punished by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or be imprisoned for not more than one year."
It will be observed that the statute provides, among other things, that if any insurance agent shall receive or deliver a policy of insurance for his principal, or shall examine or inspect any risk, or receive, collect, or transmit any premium of insurance, he shall be held to be the agent of his principal "for which the act is done or the risk is taken as to all the duties and liabilities imposed by law, whatever conditions or stipulations may be contained in the policy or contract." Where an agent of an insurance company inspects a risk, issues and delivers the policy of insurance for his principal and collects the premium due upon the policy, he is the general agent of the company, and his knowledge is the knowledge of his principal. In other words, what he does his principal does. Big Creek Drug Co. v. Stuyvesant Ins. Co., 115 Miss. 333, 75 So. 768; Agricultural Ins. Co. v. Anderson, 120 Miss. 278, 82 So. 146; Lamar Life Ins. Co. v. Kemp, 154 Miss. 890, 124 So. 62; Hartford Fire Ins. Co. v. Clark, 154 Miss. 418, 122 So. 551; Interstate Life Accident Ins. Co. v. Ruble, 160 Miss. 206, 133 So. 223.
Where such an agent of an insurance company makes an independent investigation of his own as to the description, character, and condition of the property to be insured, and in the issuance of the policy of insurance for his principal erroneously described the property, a court of equity will reform the policy so as to make it recite the true description, character, and condition of the property in order to effectuate the intention of the insurer and the insured. Big Creek Drug Co. v. Stuyvesant Ins. Co., supra; Agricultural Ins. Co. v. Anderson, supra; Hartford Fire Ins. Co. v. Clark, supra; and McAllister v. Richardson, 103 Miss. 418, 60 So. 570.
The authorities relied on by appellant are not in point. They are not cases where the insured sought to reform the policy of insurance because of mutual error and mistake between the parties in writing the policy.
In St. Paul Fire Marine Ins. Co. v. Loving, 163 Miss. 114, 140 So. 727, it was held that an insurance agent who inspects risks, issues and delivers policies, and collects premiums, is the general agent of the insurer, and therefore his knowledge is the knowledge of the insurer; citing section 5196, Code of 1930.
Summary of this case from Fire Ins. Co. v. Price


Because it helps us understand how consumers behave and respond, Behavioural Science continues to play an important role in the marketing research world, writes Jimmy Larsen.
Behavioural economics is the big thing in marketing right now. It looks at consumers in a different way, focusing on System 1 instinctive decision-making, the non-conscious and emotional drivers of brand perceptions and choice.
The core of Behavioural Economics is that consumers are not some kind of "rational man" who weighs up all pro's and con's when choosing a product, with full access to all information in the market and the ability to handle this amount of information. Instead, consumers (or humans as Behavioural Economists prefer to call them!) are bound by limitations in their ability and motivations to analyse information and the amount of information actually available to them.
As a result of this, Behavioural Economics differentiates between System 1 and System 2 decision making. System 2 is the theoretical "rational man" who makes a full assessment of all information available to him before making a choice. Some high risk consumer choices such as house purchases would fall into this territory.
System 1 relies more on our consumer instinct and previous experience rather than an attempt to make an objective assessment of choices. System 1 is the automated process whereby we pick a soft drink in the supermarket or decide only to give three brands a chance to quote for our car insurance.
For many, System 1 and Behavioural Economics can be a rather challenging task. How can we, as researchers and marketeers, uncover an understanding of consumer decision making when consumers themselves are unaware of how they make decision?
The answer is actually quite simple. The key is to put consumer emotion at the forefront of any research design and how we interpret the data collected. Consumers are emotional creatures, making decisions in automated and non-conscious ways based on intuition and previous experience.
For example, when measuring advertising performance, it is not enough to look at cut through, branding and likely future brand usage. While these more rational measures must be kept in the model, we also need to measure the more emotional response to the advertisement. It is the emotional response that builds brand equity in the longer term and thereby guides the automated and non-conscious consumer choices in the future. The advertising evaluation model must include measures such as Fame and Salience, as described by Les Binet and Peter Field in their work on advertising effectiveness.
Another example of how to put emotional and non-conscious behaviour at the centre of a research design can be taken from conjoint studies. Instead of simply asking consumers what is important when choosing a product, the conjoint model allows us to analyse and model consumer choice, including more irrational behaviours, e.g. responding to promotions, taking brand cues from pack design, etc.
So in short, a lot of what is currently done within the field of market research already incorporates System 1 thinking and Behavioural Economics.
But Behavioural Economics also offers a number of new approaches to consider when analysing consumers.
One of these approaches is Implicit Response Testing. This approach is utilised in online and mobile surveys and is particularly useful in brand studies, concept testing or surveys about a sensitive topic. In addition to collecting answers to questions, we measure the time taken before giving these answers, i.e. the level of certainty or hesitance. Recent work conducted by RED C demonstrates that building implicit testing into a brand study can provide unique, additional insights into the more unconscious behaviours of consumers.
Behavioural Economics has also given rise to a number of new technologies used within market research to understand System 1 behaviour and non-conscious choice, e.g. eye tracking, facial coding, biometric measurement and neuro testing. Furthermore, Virtual or Augmented Reality opens up opportunities to build research environments that very closely simulate the real world.
Nudge Theory is another popular topic within Behavioural Economics. By taking a behavioural economic approach to analysing how consumers act, we can identify subtle changes in the way information is presented to consumers, which in turn can change their behaviour in our favour.
Behavioural Science also promotes a more multi-disciplinary approach to research problems where we incorporate knowledge and methods from a number of disciplines, e.g. marketing, brand, psychology, ethnographic and cultural anthropology, which helps better understand how consumers really behave.
RED C is fortunate to work closely with both our WIN network research partners, BVA (France), who are award winning global leaders in Nudge research programmes and House 51 our System 1 research experts. So, if you want to know more about how System 1 research and how Nudge works, we are happy to help you better understand how you may utilise its benefits for your brand or category.

EA choose not to sell Battlefield 3 on steam, this is ridiculous, i have almost every other game on my steam account. Why would they do this? Its only harming themselves. I'm not going to install origin, and I'd rather not use D2D. EA isn't a company I go out of my way to support, either. So i wont be buying it.
Alos check out this great support they are giving out, very good EA games!

Education Week Features Alderman on the Geography of Naming Schools
View all the posts from January 25, 2017
Professor and head of the Department of Geography Derek Alderman has conducted extensive research on schools named for Martin Luther King Jr. Recently, Alderman was interviewed by Education Week to discuss the naming of schools after the Obamas.
Schools across the country elected to be named after former President and first lady Barack and Michelle Obama. But these schools paint a panorama of a divided nation, one separated by race, class, and place.
Many are located in places like Normandy, a struggling St. Louis-area enclave where unemployment rates are high and high school graduation rates are low. According to Education Week, the schools in Normandy are among the poorest and most segregated in Missouri. All but a handful of the 400 students at Normandy's Barack Obama Elementary are black and almost all of them qualify for free or low-cost meals. The racial and economic segregation that persists here can be found in Obama-named schools across the nation, from Los Angeles to Long Island. More than 90 percent of students who attend the namesake schools are black and Latino. Fewer than 4 percent are white.
"When you look at the larger geography of naming schools, we do see a reaffirmation or reinforcement of segregated boundaries," said Alderman. "School names matter. It's part of our larger way that we imagine ourselves and project our identities onto places and onto people."

Please provide a workaround or any other middleware.

A: The less-middleware function has a different interface than the one you showed in the code snippet.
It looks like this lessMiddleware(source, options), where source is a string and options is an object. And it breaks somewhere around here when it tries to to call path.join on source, in your case an object.
You can check out the documentation of the middleware for the accepted parameters in options.

In Oregon, juries decide auto collision cases. A person hurt in a vehicle collision may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages or income, pain and suffering or loss of enjoyment of life. When a person is killed in an automobile crash, their estate may have a claim for funeral and burial expenses, pre-death pain and suffering, the pecuniary loss to the estate, and the loss of a loved one.
The deadline for filing suit against another driver is two years from the collision date, but many automobile collision cases are resolved before the filing deadline by making an insurance claim.
Legal representation is often necessary to ensure a full and fair recovery in an automobile collision lawsuit or claim. Attorneys are needed to ensure a full crash scene investigation and to complete exploration of all available insurance benefits. They can hire experts such as accident reconstructionists, to show how the collision unfolded, and doctors to describe the injuries it caused. Attorneys ensure that the person injured is protected from later claims by lienholders.
When an injury is reported the police respond to a crash scene and prepare a report describing the crash location, date and time of day, parties involved and their insurance carriers, witness identification and statements, and a narrative about how the crash occurred. If a citation was issued, the report will include the section of the Oregon Vehicle Code that was violated. Even if the officer does not cite one party or the other, s/he often will state an opinion about who is at fault.
However, police officers have limited time, resources and training which may limit their ability to investigate each collision fully and thoroughly. To know what really happened, more work may be necessary, i.e. interviewing key witnesses, timing traffic signal sequences, measuring site lines, etc. Expert reconstructionists may be necessary to understand important details about the distances and speeds involved.
In Oregon, a driver who causes a collision will be found at fault if s/he does not operate his/her vehicle using "due care." This is also called negligence. If a driver violates a vehicle code he is negligent "per se."
The adverse driver may not be the only one at fault. The injured person may be partly responsible for causing the collision. This is called comparative fault. In Oregon, if the injured person is partly at fault his/her damages are reduced by his/her percentage of fault. For example, if the injured party is 25% at fault causing the collision, his/her damages will be reduced by 1/4. If the person injured is more at fault than the other driver (i.e. 51 percent, or greater) s/he will not be permitted to recover.
Oregon drivers are required to carry liability coverage of at least $25,000/$50,000, providing $25,000 maximum compensation per injured person and $50,000 maximum compensation to all victims in any one collision. Other common limit structures are $50,000/$100,000 and $100,000/$300,000. When injuries are serious these limits may be inadequate to compensate the injured person fully.
Personal umbrella policies and commercial policies often have higher limits, up to $1 million.
Oregon law requires all automobile policies to include PIP ("Personal Injury Protection") coverage which pays for medical expenses and lost income. A person injured in a collision who needs medical treatment or is unable to work should open a PIP claim with his/her own automobile carrier right away because PIP pays for medical bills and lost income as they incurred. This is different from the bodily injury claim made against the at-fault driver's carrier that pays for medical and income loss after the person is done treating and medically stationary.
The medical expenses of a person injured in an automobile crash are paid by the injured's person's automobile PIP coverage rather than by him/her health insurance. Many people, including medical providers, do not know this and sometimes bill the health insurance carrier erroneously.
Most auto carriers require that a person be unable to work for 10 consecutive days in order to qualify for PIP wage loss benefits. Most carriers pay about 2/3 of the wage rate.
A new law, SB 411, went into effect in Oregon on January 1, 2016, for policies renewed on or after that date, making PIP coverage last for two years, instead of one.
Under Oregon law, insurers are required to write a minimum of $15,000 in medical PIP benefits. It is possible to buy additional coverage.
It is illegal in Oregon to drive without automobile liability insurance coverage. Still, some drivers do. Uninsured motorist coverage provides an avenue to financial recovery when a person is injured by an uninsured driver.
Similarly, some drivers are underinsured for the injury they have caused. In that case, underinsured motorist coverage bridges the gap between the at-fault driver's coverage amount and the total damages she/he caused.
The new Oregon law SB 411, effective January 1, 2016, for policies renewed on or after that date, increases the amount of UIM benefits available by allowing the injured person's coverage to stack over and above the at-fault driver's bodily injury coverage.
Under the old law, the UIM carrier was allowed to subtract from the UIM limits the at-fault driver's bodily injury limits to determine the amount of UIM coverage available. Under the new law, the UIM carrier must add the UIM benefits to (or "stack" them on top of) the at-fault party's BI limits.
The following example shows the important difference stacking makes. An injured motorist with $50,000 UIM coverage is hit by a driver who runs a stop sign. The value of the injury claim is $75,000. The at-fault driver's BI limits are $25,000. The person injured settles her claim against the driver for the full $25,000 of the BI limits and makes a UIM claim seeking the remaining $50,000.
Under the old law, the UIM carrier subtracts the BI limits from the UIM limits, here subtracting $25,000 from $50,000, leaving $25,000. The injured motorist may recover $25,000 in UIM benefits or $50,000 total. Under the new law, UIM limits stack on top of the BI limits. Thus, the person injured can recover $25,000 from the at-fault driver plus $50,000 from her own UIM coverage ($25,000 + $50,000). In this way, Senate Bill 411 will allow her to recover the full $75,000 claim value.
Sometimes the injured person's PIP coverage limit is not enough to pay for all the medical care necessary for injuries caused by an auto crash. In that case, medical insurance will pay the bills.
Most health insurance plans contain provisions which create a right of reimbursement when the health insurer pays for medical care caused by the negligence of another and the injured person makes a claim and recovers damages. This is often called a right of reimbursement, subrogation right, or lien. If the medical insurer's claim is ignored, it may later seek recovery against the injured person's settlement.

With all the hoopla surrounding the Artadia Houston awards (the ten finalists were announced a few days ago in all the national art magazines), the rest of Texas might be feeling left out. But the deadline (November 11) is approaching for the Meadows Museum's 2015 Moss/Chumley Award. Named for two Dallas art dealers who made outstanding contributions to the visual arts in North Texas during the 1980s, the award serves to recognize an outstanding North Texas artist.
The $2,500 cash prize isn't exactly the $5,000-20,000 that Artadia doles out, but it's nothing to sneeze at, and all entrants receive an invitation to the Meadows Museum Holiday Party on December 9, when the winner will be announced. For deadlines and very clear guidelines, go here.
The ArtSmarterPrize is a remarkable step in some direction for Texas artists and the North Texas region in particular, as the DFW greater metropolitan area continues its (relentless) bid for art world greatness.
You'll be amaze by my Martha Stewart acrylic paintings for Artsmarter.
