Eminent domain focus of town-hall meeting sponsored by Lembke
By LAURA UHLMANSIEK
The threat of eminent domain has many area residents concerned about the future of their homes and businesses, but speakers at a town-hall meeting last week told residents they can act now to protect their property.
Rep. Jim Lembke, R-Lemay, sponsored the July 19 town-hall meeting at the Tesson Ferry Branch County Library, which drew residents from Sunset Hills, Green Park, Brent-wood, Maplewood and Hazelwood who wanted to learn more about eminent domain and share their concerns.
"This has been such a hot-button issue in different areas of the St. Louis area," Lembke said. "I thought this would be good to bring this before my constituents and give them an opportunity to speak out on it and let me know where they are, and as I said earlier tonight, it's not happening in the 85th District right now, but it doesn't mean that it couldn't be happening next week or next year."
Speakers at the town-hall meetings discussed problems with the state's eminent domain process and told residents what they can do to change the current system.
"I'm really concerned about it and not just because of my own home, because I don't feel it's going to be in danger at any time in the near future, but I'm concerned about the community. I think it's a gross expansion of government power," Crest-wood resident Russell Damher told the Call after the meeting.
"As I understand it, if we all aren't paying attention, it could happen to any of us," Concord resident Elfriede Faulstich told the Call. "So this (meeting) made us aware of how we as a community need to see what we want to do or not want to do."
Kelley Farrell, an attorney for Carmody MacDonald, the law firm representing several Sunset Manor residents in two lawsuits against the city of Sunset Hills in an eminent domain battle, was a guest speaker at the meeting.
She said she has represented both residents and developers in eminent domain lawsuits and is familiar with both sides of the issue.
Now is the time to change Missouri's statutes if residents want to change the way eminent domain works, Farrell said.
"What you're going to need to do is you're going to need to be active in the government, and that's the only way, through Rep. Lembke and others like him, to introduce legislation protecting your property rights, and this is the time to do it because people are outraged about what's happening," she said.
Farrell told residents that eminent do-main statutes in other states are more strict and reimburse land owners more generously than in Missouri. She outlined the eminent domain process and showed residents where there are weaknesses.
For example, Farrell explained that the Missouri's definition of blighted property has become so weak that nearly any property could be given that label to justify the use of eminent domain.
"The definition of blighted written in our statutes right now is very, very broad," she said. "I guarantee you that your house could be brand new, and we could find someone who could say it was blighted. So, it's not much of a guard for taking your property."
To use eminent domain, the condemner must file a petition in eminent domain in the county circuit court. Then the property owner and the condemner present their cases to a judge, whose sole job is to de-cide whether or not eminent domain may be used. The condemner must prove to the judge that it carried out good-faith negotiations with the property owner but was unable to agree on a price and that the property is being condemned for a public purpose as defined by state law.
"You don't get to a jury on that issue, that's decided on by a judge," Farrell said. "That's a hard argument because there are constitutional guarantees that have been watered down over the years."
If the judge approves the use of eminent domain, then the judge appoints a panel of three condemnation commissioners, disinterested property owners who must determine the fair market value of the home based on what the condemner and the property owner say the property is worth.
"If I represent you — you're the land-owner — I'm going to find an appraiser that says that property is worth as much money as I can make it worth," she said.
"The other side is going to find an appraiser that says your property isn't worth much money at all," Farrell added.
Once the commissioners decide on a value, the condemner can pay the award into the court registry and the property owner can claim the money. If the property owner is unhappy with the determined value, then the property owner may file an exception and the value is reconsidered by a jury of 12 people, who are not told the price the commissioners had decided.
"You're still litigating because you're not happy about what those three commissioners gave you," Farrell said. "After that stage, they (condemners) have the right to your property … once they pay the money into court, they take title, and they can come down and start building whatever.
"… They (the jury) don't get to decide whether that's constitutional that they took your property, it's purely value. After your jury trial, then you go to the court of appeals. At that time, you can reargue the judge's decision about whether the right to take your property is constitutional. Where is your property now? Bulldozed," she added.
Farrell also said that Missouri law could require condemners to reimburse land-owners more generously than they do now.
"So what's just compensation? Do you get attorney fees, do you get money for hiring me to try and get you what you deserved in the first place? No. Do you get expert fees … no," she said.
"So at the end of the day, if I prove to that jury what your house was worth, are you made whole? No, you're out of pocket," Farrell said. "You're never going to be made whole."
Ron Calzone, director of Missouri First, a non-profit lobbyist group that aims to preserve the sovereignty of Missourians and the jurisdiction of the family, also spoke at the meeting.
Calzone told residents that when eminent domain is used, special consideration should be given to those who are ill-equipped to defend themselves.
"Usually the taking entity is more powerful than the ones whose property is being taken," Calzone said. "… Sometimes it's a big developer who also stands to benefit financially, and they can afford to spend a lot of money, and a lot of times it's a little old lady on a fixed income trying to de-fend herself, and there's nothing more shameful, I think, than when you see that scenario, and so we need to be particularly concerned about the people who can't protect or defend themselves, and we need to come up with some solutions for that."
After the meeting, Lembke said that he would like to see changes made to the state statute, such as eliminating the use of eminent domain for private use, strengthening the definition of blight and instituting more protections for the private property owners when eminent domain is necessary.
Safeguards can be put into place in the Missouri statutes to protect property owners from losing their homes to eminent do-main for private uses, but residents need to contact their representatives, he said.
"Now that this issue is so much in the spotlight, and it's affecting where our population bases are in the state, it's going to make a big difference on how a piece of legislation is received across the board in the House and the Senate," Lembke said. "If your senator and your representative start hearing from a number of their constituents, that say we want something done about this, and we want it done now, that's going to make a big difference."

Be prepared to add a new layer of bureaucracy to your aide scheduling with effect from January 2015. The Department of Labor is removing the companionship exemption to minimum wage along with overtime rules for home care aides who are employed by a third party, which also includes home health agencies.
According to the DOL, this change was suggested nearly two years back when President Obama had made a promise to make sure that direct care workers will receive adequate pay for a full day of work. Additionally, the introduction of a "fair wage" will help a crucial line of work which is short of efficient staff to be stable and become professional.
But, on the other hand, those opposed to the change in FLSA exception are dubious of the fact that the rule will bring about differences in the pay handed out to aides. To add to the woes, because of reimbursement constraints, there will be a pressure on agencies to keep a check on the aides' hours and limit it to fewer than 40. This, however, will encourage aides to seek employment in multiple agencies to cover-up for the shortfall.
Experts feel that although this change is directed towards helping caregivers who work hard, it will end up having the opposite effect. Moreover, it will generate issues for vulnerable citizens based on the attitude of advocates for people with disabilities.
According to NAHC, people will start receiving less care because of this change. Home Care Agencies will be left with no choice but to appoint part time workers since Medicaid payment rates and people with low income will not be able to afford such high costs. Thus, the irony is Caregivers will end up receiving less pay. The restriction will have immense impact on agencies who receive Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement because private agencies will be able to garner overtime costs by passing it on to their clients but there will be no changes in government reimbursement. So, the end result of this change will result in extensive scheduling and tracking of hours by home health agencies, reduced stability of employment for aides and more aides getting allotted to patients.
The restriction will also have a huge impact on the quality of care that is provided. This is because agencies will have to hire more aides to cover up for the same time. Providers who are already following the FLSA minimum wage and overtime rules are satisfied with the new proposal as now their competitors will have to follow the same set of guidelines.
There have been several differences amongst lawmakers regarding this revision. According to leading sources and experts, politicians are not willing to accept the changes mostly along party lines. They have mixed reactions and are not unanimous. According to some, the implication of this rule has been delayed for long in being fair to all the caregivers who are an integral part of supporting and caring for citizens who are most vulnerable. Moreover, it can also prove to e helpful in reducing turnover and help in increasing the size as well as quality of people who provide home care.
On the other hand, some feel that the proposal will bring about a huge rise in costs and give very limited access to people who need in-home care.
One area of concern is HHAs now have to stay cautious of lawsuits from unsatisfied staff along with the additional burden of increase in pay. It is essential that agencies gear-up to stay compliant when the new rule gets implemented in 2015.

Chevrolet's Powerful Christmas Commercial, Heartfelt Short Is Based on True Events
by Jack Davis, The Western Journal on December 20, 2021
The following article, Chevrolet's Powerful Christmas Commercial, Heartfelt Short Is Based on True Events, was first published on Flag And Cross.
Heartbreak and hope merge in a new holiday ad from Chevrolet.
Chevrolet's "Holiday Ride" captures the melancholy of loss, the power of memories and the spirit of love in a 4-minute short that debuted recently.
The ad is based on true events, according to AdAge.
The ad features a man no longer young coming to his barn with the only companion he has — his dog.
The man takes down a battered Christmas wreath and puts up a new one, but that is only where the story starts.
The short continues with the man entering the barn to come upon a 1966 Chevy Impala, a relic of the days when America believed in GM.
The man and his dog enter the car, as the man looks upon an old picture of his long-dead wife and recounts the memories that mingle with mourning in a sad, wistful scene — reminding America of the memories braided with the holidays for so many people.
But the ad does not end there.
When the man's daughter sees her emotionally distraught father, she decides to do something about it.
Without telling her father, she gets the local mechanic, who knows the importance of that old Chevy, to get it running again, while she pitches in as well.
The ad ends with the man finding the car, revving up with tears in his eyes and driving it to the front of his house, where his daughter stands waiting, wondering if her gift was the right thing to do.
"Thank you," he says. "It's the best Christmas gift I could ever have."
For those out there that don't understand our love and dedication to our old cars, THIS is it.
If you don't understand after this, you never will.#musclecar#classiccar https://t.co/SJALI9hui5
— GTOkie (@GTOKLAHOMA) December 17, 2021
They drive off down a dirt road, laden with memories and love.
"So many customers have a Chevy story, and we're proud that our vehicles have helped create memorable moments that span and connect generations," said Steve Majoros, a marketing director at Chevrolet, according to the Washington Examiner.
"This holiday ad captures the type of poignant stories that only Chevrolet can tell," he continued. "This is a love story — for a car, a family and the spirit of a community that brings it all together."
The ad was created by the Commonwealth/McCann agency.

LAS VEGAS -- First-degree arson charges in state court have been dropped against Fred Ball, one of two men arrested in connection with the blaze that destroyed the historic Moulin Rouge casino, but Ball could still face federal charges, his lawyer said.
Deputy Public Defender Lynn Avants said state prosecutors dropped one count each of first-degree arson and a conspiracy to commit arson against Ball, 45, also known as "Bubba," in the fire that destroyed the long-closed casino at 900 W. Bonanza Road.
He said Ball would likely face charges in federal court. District Attorney David Roger had said federal charges could come because the hotel is on the National Register of Historic Places. Ball is in federal custody but any charges pending against him are under seal.
A second man who faces charges in connection with the blaze, John Antwan Caver, nicknamed "Antman," still faces arson and conspiracy to commit arson charges.
Caver appeared Thursday during a hearing before Justice of the Peace William Jansen. He is out of police custody on a $3,000 bond. A preliminary hearing in the case is scheduled for Nov. 18.
Police said Ball, 45, acted as the lookout while Caver, 29, set the blaze.
Ball admitted to investigators that he helped set the fire, and implicated Caver as his co-conspirator, prosecutors said.
Damage from the fire was estimated at $12 million.

Garcia tosses driver, misses Valero cut
By Will Gray
It wasn't quite to the level of his watery meltdown earlier this month at the Masters, but Sergio Garcia still got frustrated during the second round of the Valero Texas Open - and his driver paid the price.
Garcia had a hand in redesigning the AT&T Oaks Course along with Greg Norman several years ago, but this marked his first return to TPC San Antonio since 2010. After an opening-round 74, Garcia arrived to the tee of the short par-4 fifth hole and decided to get aggressive with driver in hand.
When his shot sailed well left, a heated Garcia chucked the club deep into the bushes that lined the tee box:

It took considerable effort for Garcia to find and retrieve the club amid the branches, and once he did things only got worse. He appeared to shank a chip once he got up to his ball, leading to a bogey on one of the easiest holes on a demanding track.
Garcia closed out his round with four straight pars, and at 2 over he eventually missed the cut by a shot. It marks the first time he has missed consecutive cuts on the PGA Tour since 2003, when he sat out the weekend at the AT&T Byron Nelson, Fort Worth Invitational and Memorial Tournament in successive weeks.
Garcia entered the week ranked No. 10 in the world, and he was the only top-20 player among the 156-man field. He missed the cut at the Masters in defense of his title after carding an octuple-bogey 13 on the 15th hole during the opening round.

Diocese of Phoenix Maligns Catholic Nun, Errs on Canon Law
The recent news about a woman in Phoenix who received an abortion in a Catholic hospital has raised again the issue of Catholics, abortion and excommunication.
The bishop of Phoenix has declared that a nun who is a hospital administrator and a member of the ethics committee is excommunicated because of her alleged action, or inaction, in regard to the pregnant woman's care.
To defend the bishop's announcement that Sister McBride was "automatically excommunicated" for her actions, the diocese has published a document called "Questions & Answers Re: The Situation at St. Joseph's." While the questions are timely, the answers unfortunately misrepresent the church's law.
For example, one of questions reads: "Does that mean that all women who have had an abortion are excommunicated?" The incorrect answer the diocese provides reads: "Yes, anyone who has had an abortion is automatically excommunicated. But so are those who encouraged the abortion, helped to pay for the abortion, or performed the abortion, including those who directly assisted in its performance." This claim is simply not supported by Catholic canon law.
The real answer to that question is: No. Not every woman who has an abortion is excommunicated. The Catholic church's law on crimes and punishments is very strict, and, as in secular criminal law, provides a range of characteristics that would make a person incapable of committing a crime (for example, being under the age of seventeen, or acting in self-defense). There are also mitigating factors that would make a person who committed a crime ineligible for punishment or eligible only for a lesser penalty. These include people who act in fear or in case of necessity.
Another wrong answer is provided in response to this question: "From the news reports we were told that Sr. McBride also consulted with others who agreed that the abortion should be performed. Are they also excommunicated?" The diocese says: "Yes. Those Catholics who gave their consent and encouraged this abortion were also excommunicated by that very action. So too is anyone else at St. Joseph's who participated in the action; including doctors and nurses."
The real answer is, again: No. The Catholic church's law does, in limited circumstances, provide penalties for accomplices, but the scope of people who might be eligible is even smaller than in the first case. In the situation at St. Joseph's, even if all the requirements were met, the penalty of excommunication would only be available for someone whose participation was so necessary that the abortion would not have been provided without his or her action. It's not clear that this is the case for Sr. McBride. Canon lawyers have long agreed that the actions of hospital administrators rarely if ever rise to the level that would make them "accomplices" according to canon law.
Jon O'Brien, president of Catholics for Choice, said in a statement, "It is unfortunate that once again, given an opportunity to show compassion and understanding, the Catholic hierarchy has instead taken the low road and persecuted a Catholic who, in good conscience and based on her experience, provided her opinion in a difficult medical and ethical situation. The bishop's response was to publicly damage the good reputation of a woman who has, by all accounts, dedicated much of her life to caring for those in need. In the Catholic church, Sister McBride has a right to her good reputation and a right, as well as a duty, to follow her conscience. It's notable that the diocese isn't talking much about those provisions of canon law."

The Copyright Royalty Board, pictured here circa 2007, sets royalty rates for internet and other forms of radio in the United States.
Back in 2007, webcasters really scared technology journalists with the news that they would not survive the royalty rates handed down Copyright Royalty Board.
We liked internet radio. So did seemingly everyone else. Why did three judges (pictured to the right), whom some said were beholden to one industry (the music industry) at the expense of another (music technology companies), want to ruin the party?
Where was the love, as it were? After so much back and forth that I had to create an entire category on my old blog just to keep track of it all, it looked like digital music companies had some of what they wanted, and that record labels, artists, and publishers had some of what they wanted.
In other words, it looked like a good compromise.
Not so fast. In 2012, Pandora and other large internet broadcasters are finding the current rates too onerous. It's true, that if they can't make a business out of this, they will pay precisely zero to SoundExchange, which would hurt music copyright holders quite a bit. Pandora's IPO isn't exactly igniting a fever on Wall Street, although it's trading a bit higher today, possibly due to news that these royalty rates will once again be configured.
It's a tricky balancing act. Set the rates too high, and internet radio companies can't stay in business, and nobody gets paid. Set them too low, and SoundExchange won't disburse a fair amount of money to artists, labels, and publishers.
Today, TechCrunch reports that Pandora has, unsurprisingly, thrown its support behind the Internet Radio Fairness Act, by broadcasting ads to listeners, just like it did last time around. You can watch Pandora's message here.
The crux of the issue is that even with these rates, which Pandora and other webcasters saw as a victory at the time, internet radio indeed pays much higher royalties than satellite or cable radio (both of also pay artistsSoundExchange). However, satellite radio services have to put stuff into orbit, and cable radio stations have their own physical equipment-related costs, which is why internet radio has a structural advantage — which the Copyright Royalty Board saw apparently fit to try to even out, by saddling it with a higher royalty rate. As a result, Pandora pays over half its revenue to copyright holders, while satellite radio pays 7.5 percent.
Is it Pandora's fault that it uses a more efficient medium to stream music than satellite and cable companies? If you buy Pandora's argument that it's not, the company offers a number of ways in which you can contact your congressional representatives and use the hashtag #fairnetradio to spread the word.

Ferdinand official release date
A new movie directed by C. Saldanha and produced by Blue Sky Studios is called "Ferdinand." In the topic below, you will find all necessary information on the movie including the answer to the question: "When is Ferdinand movie release date 2017?"
"Ferdinand" – the forthcoming full-length cartoon movie directed by C. Saldanha, based on Munroe Leaf's children's book. The cartoon will tell about the animal (bull) which will have to defend his beliefs and remind us that even in a hard time, the main thing is to recognize yourself. It should be reminded that the first film adaptation of the children's book was the short film 1938 "Bull Ferdinand," filmed by the studio "Disney" and received the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film.
Ferdinand official release date in 2017 is scheduled for December 15 in the USA.
Since childhood, the main character is charming and good-natured bull – loved atypical pursuits: instead of competing with other representatives of his species, he sniffed flowers on lawns and enjoyed the beautiful landscape, listened to music and often walked around the city, which greatly frightened the locals. Once, when Ferdinand grew up, he was taken from his native places to Spain. The hero was expecting the same fate as the other bulls – he had to participate in battles.
However, for a peace-loving animal, it was almost impossible, because Ferdinand was very different from his relatives. He never did any harm to anyone, therefore, having appeared on the field amidst a furious crowd of people, he was confused. Now Ferdinand has to learn what he should have been able to from birth – to be a brave bull. On the farm where he is kept, Ferdinand meets real friends who give him advices and explain that it is not necessary to be angry and aggressive; it is necessary to pretend to be angry and aggressive. What will this experience turn out for a hero? Will he be able to change?

Secret gardens of Somerset
Neil Booth
Garden lovers are saving dates in their diaries with help from the National Gardens Scheme's famous 'Yellow Book' to plan this year's visits and appreciate the fruit of someone else's labours
The National Gardens Scheme (NGS) has been opening fine gardens to the public for charity since 1927 when you could have enjoyed a visit for just a shilling a head.
Once again, proud garden owners in England and Wales are preparing to allow visitors a glimpse of their colourful corner of the world. In doing so they are helping to raise more than £2.5million each year for nursing, caring and gardening charities supported by the NGS.
For some garden owners this is the first year they have opened their garden gates to the public and Somerset County Organiser Lucy Hetherington says for them the experience will be a little nerve wracking, very enjoyable and extremely rewarding.
"I say nerve wracking because in addition to all the gardening in the run up to an open day, the lawn cutting, the weeding, constant battles with nature, late and early seasons - not to mention the wildlife that seems to be working against us - there are quite a lot of other things to think about and organise."
This includes thinking about possible teas and plant sales, as well as parking arrangements - not to mention publcity and those all important NGS yellow road signs.
Lucy adds: "Then the new garden owner can experience for the first time the joy of seeing and hearing visitors enjoying themselves in their special garden. A wonderful feeling to share what has been developed and cared for with so much love."
Each new garden has already been through the daunting process of contacting the NGS and being approved for opening by the County Organiser the year prior to the first opening.
The NGS is always looking for new and interesting gardens to join the scheme. If you are interested in opening please contact the Somerset County Organiser, Lucy Hetherington, at lucyhetherington@btinternet.com
The Yellow Book 2014 is your essential guide to the thousands of gardens that open for the NGS. To order yours visit ngs.org.uk or call 01483 213910.
Over 100 gardens will be opening in Somerset this year, they include regular supporters of the NGS and its charities, as well as 19 new gardens - such as two tucked away off the main streets in Glastonbury.
JACOB'S LOFT
Glastonbury, BA6 9JJ
From A39 turn off at Beckery roundabout into Sedgemoor Way. Take second right into the car park. The garden is at 7/9 Northload Street
For the first time, visitors to Glastonbury will be able to slip off the main vibrant high street into a tranquil walled courtyard garden being opened for the NGS by Bill Knight.
Set alongside a row of pretty holiday cottages dating from Georgian and Victorian times, this town garden is full of colour in the summer, with features such as a 200 year old olive tree from Tuscany, a fig tree and Bill's collection of old agricultural tools.
Added bonus: Enjoy two for the price of one – also visit the nearby St Margaret's Chapel Garden.
Open: 5 & 6 July, 2pm-4pm
ST MARGARET'S CHAPEL GARDEN
Behind 38 Magdalene Street
Created in the remains of the 15th century Royal Magdalene almshouses and 11th century chapel, this hidden gem of a garden will take your breath away.
A trustee, Sandra Booth says: "Visitors will feel surprise at such a glorious garden in the midst of a bustling town centre, and while looking around they will experience the deep peace and tranquillity that our garden gives to our pilgrims and visitors.
"It may encourage them to make a special tranquil place in their own gardens and they may realise it does not necessarily need space to do this, a quiet spiritual haven can be created anywhere."
This award winning garden is open in the winter Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays 11am-3pm and then daily 10am–4pm from late March to October.
Added bonus: A display of iconography
Open for NGS: 5 and 6 July, 2pm-4pm.
9 CATHERSTON CLOSE
Frome BA11 4HR
From the town centre head west towards Shepton Mallet on the A361.Turn right at Sainsbury's roundabout, left into Critchill Road, over crossroads and left into Catherston Close
Visitors are taken by surprise when they discover the size of this back garden in Catherston Close; 16 years ago, owners Dave and Prue Moon bought some extra land from their neighbouring farmer.
As well as a pond, bog garden, patios, pergolas and a wild flower meadow area, there are far reaching countryside views, a vegetable and fruit garden.
The garden has won gold in the Frome in Bloom competition eight times and this is the fourth year it has opened for the NGS.
Added bonus: An exhibition of garden photography by Dave is on display in the summerhouse
Open: 25 June and 2, 9, July from 12 until 5pm.
RUGG FARM
Limington, BA22 8EQ
Exit the A303 onto the A37 to Yeovil/Ilchester. At first roundabout go left to Limington, then second right.
In 2007 a group of five friends sold their respective properties in order to buy one between them with potential for creating a garden.
This two-acre plot, created around former farmhouse and farm buildings includes ornamental, kitchen and cottage gardens, orchard, wildlife meadows and woodland plantings.
The group has opened for the NGS since 2012 and they love showing fellow gardeners around.
Added bonus: Metalwork designs by Andy Stevenson Garden Sculptures.
Open: 10 July, 5pm-8pm; 13 July, 11am-5pm.

Drug may have led to suicide stabbing — (Sunderland Today)
Original article not available
Sunderland Today
A HOUGHTON pensioner may have killed herself as a result of the very medicine meant to lift her depression, city coroner Martin Shaw has suggested.
Now the death of 64-year-old Enid McDermott is to be referred to the national medicine watchdog.
Mrs McDermott died of four self-inflicted stab wounds in November last year, at the home in Glebe Street, Houghton, she shared with her husband, Gordon.
An inquest at Sunderland Magistrates' Court yesterday heard that the retired insurance agent had been suffering from depression for about a month before her death and had been prescribed Prozac shortly before she died.
Her daughter Janice told the hearing that the way Mrs McDermott had died had been totally out of character:
"She hated pain. If she had taken an overdose, it would have been in some way understandable," she said.
Recording a verdict of suicide, Mr Shaw commented on the method Mrs McDermott had chosen to end her life.
"You have got to have either amazing courage to do this or be temporarily very mentally disturbed," he said.
"However disturbed her mind was, she has, nevertheless, taken her own life.
"In the past, there has been concern raised in some very limited cases as to the effect of the drug Prozac and there have been suggestions that sometimes the taking of it increases the risk of suicidal actions and behaviour in the early stages of its use, before it kicks in."
Experts had failed to find any such link, added Mr Shaw, but he could not rule out the possibility and would send details of the hearing to the national Committee on the Safety of Medicines:
"I have had occasions before, in very similar cases, where it looks as if it might be involved.
"It is a possibility that could explain these dreadful actions," he said.
Verdict: suicide

La ex strada statale 361 Septempedana (SS 361), ora strada provinciale 361 Septempedana (SP 361) nelle Marche e strada regionale 361 Septempedana (SR 361) in Umbria, è una strada regionale e provinciale italiana che collega il capoluogo marchigiano con Nocera Umbra.

Percorso
La strada inizia il suo tracciato dalla Baraccola, la zona industriale di Ancona, distaccandosi da un tratto dismesso della strada statale 16 Adriatica. Proseguendo verso l'Umbria attraversa i centri abitati di Osimo, Montefano, Montecassiano, San Severino Marche, Castelraimondo, Pioraco, Fiuminata, e tramite il passo del Cornello (813 m s.l.m.) arriva in Umbria a Nocera Umbra dove si innesta su un tratto dismesso della strada statale 3 Via Flaminia.

La strada percorre in parte trasversalmente le Marche nel primo tratto (Baraccola - Villa Potenza di Macerata) e poi per arrivare in Umbria percorre trasversalmente la provincia di Macerata, seguendo la valle del fiume Potenza.

In seguito al decreto legislativo n. 112 del 1998, dal 2001, la gestione del tratto marchigiano è passata dall'ANAS alla Regione Marche: in realtà su sollecitazione di quest'ultima, la strada è passata di proprietà alla Provincia di Ancona e alla Provincia di Macerata per le tratte territorialmente competenti; la gestione del tratto umbro invece è passata alla Regione Umbria che ha poi ulteriormente devoluto le competenze alla Provincia di Perugia mantenendone comunque la titolarità.

Encouraging young people to consider a career in agriculture or food production is a key focus of our businesses. We typically make sugar in rural areas very close to where sugar beet or sugar cane is grown and it is crucial to continue to attract people with the right skills to grow and make sugar.
AB Sugar recognises that its success is built on the effectiveness of its workforce and has continued to invest in recruiting the next generation and continually developing its people.
British Sugar employs apprentices, graduates and experienced professionals for roles across the business and throughout the supply chain, across a range of roles and professions.
British Sugar has been a member of WISE (a campaign to promote women in science, technology and engineering) for three years and was proud to have been a member of the operations team on the Young Women's board. WISE inspires girls and women to study and build careers using science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) and aims to encourage 1 million more women into the UK STEM workforce. It achieves this by working with businesses and boosting the talent pool from classroom to boardroom.
In Spain, Azucarera runs various programmes to attract, develop and retain talent. The company is firmly committed to helping young people into employment and arranges work experience programmes at its workplaces so that students can combine it with their studies.
Azucarera also has agreements with education centres, has developed an apprentice and graduate programme and has introduced dual training as a channel for access to the Azucarera apprentice programme. Azucarera has an ongoing commitment to combating youth unemployment. In 2015, it signed a specific agreement with the Public Employment Service of Castilla y León to provide work experience at its Benavente Packaging Centre.
AB Sugar China recognises the value of new talent into the organisation. It has partnered with a university in the region to promote the development of sugar-manufacturing technology and provides internships to students interested in a career in the sector.
Illovo has built its own state of the art sugar academy and delivers a programme which offers full bursaries to students. Upon the successful completion of studies, students are invited to apply to join Illovo's management trainee programme.
Over the past ten years British Sugar has recruited and trained over 100 graduates and over 90 apprentices. The four year apprenticeship programme includes a recognised professional qualification and a 2016 National Survey by allaboutschollleavers.co.uk ranked British Sugar's Apprenticeship Scheme at Number 15.
Last year Illovo offered full bursaries to 45 students to allow them to further their education.
At Azucarera, 58 students participated in their development programme with education centres, 7 students participated in the apprentice programme and 8 students participated in the graduate programme.
AB Sugar China is recruiting university graduates regularly each year. Graduates have been offered structured and systematic training and development as well as career development opportunities.


Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park is located in south central Texas. A visit to this great park gives you the opportunity to learn more about President Lyndon. B Johnson and his presidency. We really enjoyed the LBJ Ranch when we visited. It was so much more than what we expected it to be.
We thought it would only take an hour or two but we found ourselves truly enjoying every minute we had at the park. This park has two distinct visitor areas separated by 14 miles. One site is located in the small town of Johnson City where the visitor center provides info on LBJ and his wife Eleanor. Near the visitor center is President Johnson's boyhood home where he lived from the age of five through high school. You can also see where other relatives lived near town.
Near Stonewall, Texas you can visit the LBJ Ranch and learn more about Hereford cattle that are descendants of President Johnson's herd. One thing to know if you start your visit at the state park and then can head towards the ranch.
At the state park you can pick up a auto tour pass and visit the visitor center and get your park stamps. It is a short drive from the state park to the ranch.
The auto tour is en-route to the Texas White House visitor center. Along the route there are interpretive panels discussing the ranch and the cattle. Keep an eye out for great bird watching.
Tours are $3 per person and you can sign up at the visitor center. As of August 2, 2018 the tours of the Texas White House are not being conducted. The park service found structural issues within the house and want to make sure it is safe to bring visitors into the house.
The Junior Ranger program can be picked up at the Texas White House visitor center. The majority of the program can be done from this visitor center. The book is great for learning more about the park and exploring new areas. I would suggest between 30 minutes to an hour depending on the age of the person completing the program.

KeyGuard cabinet comes in on the 8th position thanks to its impressive features like the fact that it provides keyless operation. After all, what's the essence of getting a key lock box if it comes with a key for you carry around? That's like trampling upon the very role it's designed to play, right?

Two years ago, we chose the best lockbox after spending hours on research, interviews, and tryouts, as well as shadowing professional locksmiths as they mimicked burglar break-ins. For this update, we scoured the field for new entries that could meet our standards—and we found none. Our original pick, the Kidde AccessPoint KeySafe, remains the best lockbox available, hands down.
No new lockboxes can match the strong combination of security and price of our current pick—the Kidde AccessPoint KeySafe. This year, we've added a new pick for a vehicle-mounted lockbox. For simply hiding a spare key, we're sticking with our low-tech fake rock pick.
Despite their limited market, lockboxes come in a bewildering variety of forms and are sold under multiple brand names. To cut through the tangle, we first spoke with locksmiths and realtors for advice. Our conversations revealed a consensus: The most secure lockboxes are wall-mounted models made of solid metal and attached by concealed screws. A determined thief with a crowbar or sledgehammer might consider breaking into one, but actually doing so would cause a scene and draw too much attention—and quash any burglar's grand plan.
These wall-mount boxes make a mockery of the alternative: shackle-style boxes with a U-loop that goes over a doorknob or gate for convenience. We categorically reject these for use on homes and rental units. As one locksmith explained, a quick snip with bolt cutters will get through the loop on most models. Then the perp can take the box away and use all of his faculties to break in without worrying about onlookers.
Our locksmiths then helped us decide between locking mechanisms. There are three common types: wheels, which employ tumblers marked with numbers or letters; push buttons, on which you punch in a numerical code payphone-style; and dials, on which you enter the combination with a rotating dial, like on a classic school padlock.
Wheel models dropped out of consideration almost immediately: Our locksmiths emphasized how easy it is to insert a thin metal shim between the tumblers and work out the the combination by feel.
Push-button boxes are simple to operate—kids can do it, which is a real selling point—but they have a significant drawback: The numbers can be pressed in any sequence (so if your combo is 3-2-1, you can also open it by pressing 2-1-3, or 1-2-3). That dramatically reduces the effective number of possible combinations, which in turn reduces security. Plus, when trying to crack push-button locks, burglars (and locksmiths) first simply look for the extra wear-and-tear on the combo's numbers. To avoid that vulnerability, you have to change the combination with some regularity. That can be confusing for infrequent users and kids. And be honest: How high is changing the combo going to be on your list of chores? The simplicity of push-button locks is attractive, but it's also a bit of a liability.
If there's a downside to the Kidde, it's that it's a bit more difficult to set up than push-button models—setting the code requires manipulating a set of internal discs and takes about 1minutes. But we (and our experts) feel strongly that the extra security is worth that minor hassle.
Cheap and simple, this fake rock is not at all secure, but it can keep a spare key safe—just make sure you put it in a discreet location.
We looked hard to find the best fake rock, and this is the one we'd get.
For certain outdoor activities—surfing is a big one—bringing your car keys along is inconvenient. Locking them securely to your vehicle instead is an attractive option, and for that, we recommend the shackle version of our wall-mounted, dial-lock pick: the Kidde AccessPoint Portable.
As stated above, all shackle models have a significant built-in weakness: the shackle can be cut, allowing the thief to retreat somewhere private to break open the box and steal the key. So, again, don't use a shackle model on your house or rental property. It would be too easy for someone to walk up as though they were an innocent visitor, pop the shackle, and disappear with your key. And when using one on your car or truck, take a couple of extra steps to boost security. Conceal the lockbox in the undercarriage or engine compartment, locking the shackle around something anchored and robust: a shock strut or engine-block mount, for example. Don't shackle it to the car door handle, as at least one manufacturer suggests, because it'll become an obvious target in an empty parking lot. And the more confined the space you put the lockbox in, the harder you'll make it for a thief to put a pry bar or pair of bolt cutters into action. So tuck the box behind a wheel or in a tight spot under the hood (provided you can pop the hood from outside, that is!).
There are dozens of different lockboxes out there, but once we learned how flimsy wheel locks and button locks are, we dismissed a majority of competitors. The Master Lock 5400D, for example, can be had with a bit of metal and some sensitive fingertips. That meant we couldn't recommend models like this one from Vault Locks, either.
Button locks present more options, but they, too, are susceptible to a break-in by an expert. That includes models like this one from KeyGuard, and the push-button version of our Kidde dial-lock pick.
We also tested the Master Lock 5900D, but the plastic exterior and thin cable connector made it feel fragile. The wheel combo system, of course, is easy to crack.
Stand-Alone Locks as the name implies are an "all-in-one" access control system for a single-door. The lock powered by replaceable internal batteries can be unlocked by keypad, proximity card or a combination. The advantages of stand-alone locks are they can be installed and operational in minutes. Some offer hand-held readers that extract the audit trail from the lock. The disadvantages of stand-alone locks are they are stand-alone and not part of a broader network.
Proximity readers are the most popular option in commercial access control. They are easy to use, and when cards are lost, it is a simple matter to deactivate them and issue new ones. They can also be combined with photo IDs for additional security. Proximity cards, which can work from one inch to three feet from a sensor, are the most common. Because there is no contact between the card and reader, they are very reliable and suffer little wear and tear. They are also inexpensive. A specialized type of proximity card is the automobile tag, which allows access to a parking facility without requiring the driver to open their window or get out of the car. Automobile tags can work at hundreds of feet away from a sensor. Security access systems can use magnetic stripe or barcode cards, as well, and these can be a money‐saving option if you already use one of these technologies for employee ID cards.
Keyswitches offer electronic auditing through a network while continuing to use a physical key to activate the lock. are common for single door security access and less expensive systems. They are easy to use but less secure, since users have a tendency to write down the entry code or to "lend" it to others. They also do not provide detailed audit trails until you provide unique codes to each individual.
Biometric systems rely on physical characteristics of the users for identification such as fingerprints, handprints, or even retinal scans. They are by far the most secure methods of access control. However, they are also considerably more expensive and can seem invasive to employees forced to use them constantly. Early models proved less unreliable outdoors, so they were not recommended for exterior security access.
To ensure free pass to exit a secure door, all locking systems include a quick exit device. Examples include; push-to-exit buttons, request-to exit bars, motion detectors, emergency (break-glass) exit and Time delayed exit. These buttons are mounted in the interior, on the casing surrounding the door (mullion mount) or on a wall near the door (gang mount). Examples of Egress Device types follow. 'Clicking' on any of the device photos will open a new window with direct access to pricing, and product datasheets for further and more detailed reference.
Push-To-Exit Buttons as the name implies Push-To-Exit buttons are wall mounted near the exit point and contain directions on a large green or red button. Depressing the button releases the door.
Push Bars attach across the inside of the door at the height of the door latch. You exit the door by pressing against the bar. The action of pressing the bar releases the latch and the door opens.
Emergency Exits attach on a wall near the exit point. Emergency exits are available is two general types, the first is a 'break-glass' model. To gain exit, you break the glass face. The action depresses a button inside the switch and releases the door. The second type uses a pull down handle to release the door.
Delayed Egress function by starting a timer once the device is activated. Delayed egress can include voice commands and sounds explaining the door will open in 'x' seconds. For example, once depressed. a delayed egress can count down from 1seconds to zero and then release the latch opening the door. Delayed egress devices provide the emergency opening functional of a free exit system while providing a delay for enhanced security.
In all locking systems, the locking device represents the physical security barrier. Locking devices include Magnetic Locks (Maglocks), Electric strikes, Deadbolts, Magnetic Shear Locks and Electrified locksets. These devices are mounted on the door and door casing. Examples of Locking Device types follow. 'Clicking' on any of the device photos will open a new window with direct access to pricing, and product datasheets for further and more detailed reference.
Magnetic Locks electromagnetic lock, magnetic lock, or maglock is a locking device that consists of an electromagnet and armature plate. By attaching the electromagnet to the door frame and the armature plate to the door, a current passing through the electromagnet attracts the armature plate holding the door shut. Unlike an electric strike a magnetic lock has no interconnecting parts and is therefore less suitable for super high security applications because it is possible to bypass the lock by disrupting the power supply. Nevertheless, the strength of today's magnetic locks compares well above that of conventional door locks and they cost less than conventional light bulbs to operate. Power supplies incorporating a trickle-charged lead-acid battery pack should be used to retain security for short-term power outages. Magnetic locks possess a number of advantages over conventional locks and electric strikes. For example, their durability and quick operation can make them valuable in a high-traffic office environment where electronic authentication is necessary.
In addition to providing you with the right products, the vendor you choose will also be responsible for providing going support and helping to integrate it with any other related systems you have. There is no real standard for connectivity between access control and alarms, time and attendance and video surveillance, so there will always be some additional custom work involved in creating links between these systems. Most important, there are local and national codes governing the types of locks and hardware that can be used on fire and exit doors, so make sure you are familiar with the ordinances in your area.
Do not overbuy – Securing door after door inside your facility is likely to frustrate employees more than increase security. Do not feel like you have to include every door in a security access control system: a mix of card access and plain old keys is often the best combination. Focus your access control points on the perimeter of your building.
If someone tries to jimmy this lock or force their way in, this Schlage will emit a piercing siren, which will warn away any intruders. This lock also has the highest possible security rating. You can program in up to 30 codes, and the touch screen is smudge- and fingerprint-resistant. The Touchscreen Deadbolt doesn''t have its own app, but you can connect it to a smart home hub to control it remotely.
This HomeKit-compatible lock lets you use Siri to open your front door; too bad it doesn't work with other smart home hubs, like the Schlage Connect. It can be programmed with up to 30 different codes. It also has the highest possible security rating, and an alarm if someone tries to break in.
Forget your keys? No problem. In fact, the T1L doesn't even have a key slot, making it potentially more secure from burglars who might try to pick the lock. You can program up to 2codes, and the lock's small and stylish design will blend in nicely with any décor. While it doesn't have a standalone app, the T1L can be connected to, and controlled by, several different smart home systems. If the batteries inside the lock die, you can connect a 9-volt battery to gain temporary access to your house — a nice feature.
If buyers who don't have an agent want to tour a home where one is required, they can use TOOR's on-demand service to find a licensed real estate agent through the app. They'll preview and select an agent who will accompany them at the property. The service is expected to debut in Dallas in October, when Desinor hopes to begin shipping the first round of lockbox orders. He hasn't determined pricing for the agent matching service yet, but Desinor says it will vary by region and should be in line with the fees charged by other lead–generation tools on the market.
Protect your senior from theft or fraud by removing or taking inventory of valuables, not keeping cash around, and watching bank and credit card statements carefully.
Keep an inventory of valuables in the home. Compile a list and take pictures to document your parent's valuables, put them under lock and key, or remove them from the home.
Don't forget about hidden jewelry or valuables, and think about removing any valuable memorabilia displayed in the house. There's no need to put temptation in front of anyone.
Don't invite petty theft. Your parent should keep only a small amount of cash at home. Don't leave money in obvious places, such as the nightstand next to the bed. Make sure your loved one keeps any checkbook, ATM and credit cards, and computer passwords in a secure place.
After spending some time with the hired caregiver, pay attention to how you feel about them in your gut. Most people work hard to make a great impression at the start of a new job. But later, you might start to see a different personality show through.
If you start to feel uneasy, trust your gut and talk with their agency. If it's a private hire, you might want to investigate for theft and (secretly) observe them carefully for a while.
Whether using a home care agency or hiring an independent caregiver, it's important to do your research to make sure that you're getting a reliable person.
Of course, no one knows better than me that this isn't a foolproof method — but due diligence is still required on your part.
Home care agencies are responsible for fingerprinting and screening to make sure potential aides don't have criminal records or other complaints against them.
Amy Nelson, founder and CEO of Accurate Home Care in Otsego, Minn., says that her agency reports theft accusations to the authorities and cooperates however possible. The caregiver is suspended until the investigation is over. If found guilty of theft, the caregiver is fired and reported to the Department of Human Services.
After you've picked an agency, it's still wise to interview caregivers they assign to the job. If you don't feel comfortable — at any time that the person is working for you — tell the agency that this person is not the right match for you.
When hiring an aide without going through an agency, spend the time and money to check them out, advises Lisa A. Lieberman, a licensed clinical social worker, family counselor and author of A 'Stranger' Among Us: Hiring In-Home Support for a Child with Autism Spectrum Disorders or Other Neurological Differences.
She stresses checking references, especially ones from previous employers, and scheduling a face-to-face interview before making a decision.
Unfortunately, these precautions aren't enough to guarantee you won't get ripped off. Detective Mike Cruce of the Oro Valley, Ariz., police department, who solved the case of my missing laptop, warned that just because the prospective caregiver doesn't have a criminal record doesn't mean that you still can't be victimized by them.
Most people try to make a good first impression, so keep in mind that caregivers need to earn your trust and maintain it by being reliable over time. If you develop an uneasy feeling about a caregiver and aren't quite sure they can be trusted, you could be right.
Everyone in the household should be comfortable with the caregiver. If you live alone, ask visiting family members and friends for their opinions of the caregiver and how she/he interacts with you.
In my case, my caregiver the laptop thief was shy but likable at the beginning — but after a few weekends with her, I began to wonder if I could trust her. It wasn't one particular thing she did but a strange feeling that entered the room along with her. I began to secretly look after my wallet. She started showing up late, or not coming at all, and her excuses were hard to believe.
At that time, I should have called the agency and requested another caregiver. But I figured I was stuck with her, because the agency had been having trouble finding a caregiver to work in my part of town. This is a very real issue for people with disabilities nationwide; many people accept personal care attendants who are abusive because there is no one else to fill the gap.
The caregiver in this case asked to borrow his Bible for a couple of days, but after weeks went by and she still hadn't returned it, Kelley, 44, confronted her. She assured him that she would bring it back. After a month passed and still no Bible, he called the home health agency, which contacted the caregiver — but she still didn't bring it back.
Kelley eventually got his Bible back after the detective told his caregiver that Kelley would press charges against her if she didn't return it. The detective warned that she didn't want it on her record, especially since she's a health care worker.
In the case of the house keys, the best way to prevent that scenario is to never give the caregiver a permanent set. Instead, buy a key lockbox, like those used by real estate agents, and hang it on your front door handle with a key or keys inside.
When a caregiver arrives at your home for work, he or she just punches in the code to the lockbox (like this Master Lock Select Access Key Storage Box pictured above) and retrieves the key — and then returns it to the lockbox after opening the door. The lockbox code is easily changed, meaning you don't need to change your locks every time you change caregivers.
Detective Cruce says it's especially important for those with multiple caregivers, or with a "revolving door" of caregivers who are new each time, to secure their valuables. Having multiple caregivers definitely complicates theft investigations, making it difficult to pinpoint who's responsible for missing items.
After the digital camera incident, Cohen also realized she could take measures herself to avoid enabling theft in her home. So to safeguard her valuables — from otherwise trusted eyes as well as the hands of strangers — she bought a safe.
But theft is not limited to physical possessions. Be sure to monitor bank accounts and credit card charges and look for anything unusual. Staying aware of your financial situation and transactions may help detect a theft. Also, hide important documents and consider storing duplicate copies in a safe place with family members or friends.
For example, Kelley learned the hard way that it's wise to always request a receipt when the caregiver returns from shopping for you. He gave one of his caregivers his food stamp card to go to the store for him one afternoon, and she didn't bring back a receipt. "It was a red flag when she didn't bring back a receipt, so I waited until she left and went back over to the store with my food stamp card, and I told them that I needed them to run an audit on the card," Kelley says.
My support coordinator said that the whereabouts of my laptop were still unknown but that my caregiver's ride had called the agency and reported that she had bragged about stealing it from beneath my bed. My support coordinator also told me that my caregiver had quit the day before.
I decided to press charges against my caregiver thief because I didn't want this happening to anyone else. Later, I heard from the prosecutor that she had similar charges before, which were dropped by the client. The fact that she already had a second chance and blew it made me feel a little better about pressing charges.
Allowing a "stranger," even a professional caregiver with good references, into your home can be a scary proposition. But deciding when and how to work with outside caregivers is far less daunting if you assess your options and perform due diligence to evaluate candidates for the position.
Lisa A. Lieberman's A 'Stranger' Among Us: Hiring In-Home Support for a Child with Autism Spectrum Disorders or Other Neurological Differences offers readers, especially parents, tips on how to do just that.
Most important, have fun and choose your key lock box wisely! Good luck!
Chatting about key lock box is my passion! Leave me a question in the comments, I answer each and every one and would love to get to know you better!


Some subway station names are easy for me to remember: "Orchard" "Somerset" "City Hall".
Some are a little more challenging. In the morning, I take the North South red line in the direction of Marina Bay and transfer at City Hall to the East West Green line in the direction of Joo Koon, alighting at Tanjong Pagol. In the evening, I take the Green line toward Pasir Ris, transferring to the Red line toward Jurong East, passing through Dhobi Ghaut.
I'm sure it gets easier with time, but for now I have to look at the map every day to make sure I'm going in the right direction.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the cars aren't empty, but there are seats available. At eight o'clock, cars are jammed full. Moving onto or off of a car requires a slow shuffle of inexorable progress or you'll be left behind. Aggression isn't needed – and it would probably be bad form. I haven't seen any, and everyone is respectful. On the other hand, determination is a requirement.
Getting in and out of the station is a little easier. Allow yourself to be swept along with the mob. Have your smart card pass ready to tap at the gate and you're in. Or out. Probably no worse than New York at rush hour, and maybe a little better. The line through the gate moves steadily and quickly. The gate shows how much money is still available on your card and tells you when it's time to top up. I get to the office for about 78 cents.
Signs in the subway are in four languages (and three scripts): English, Chinese, Malay, and Hindi. Announcements are in English, Malay, Chinese, and I assume Hindi too. Station signage is all in English.
One other clue that this isn't Kansas: in various official paperwork, my official ethnicity is "other". I guess that shouldn't be a surprise when in the sub-one percent minority.
We have had four kids abroad, three for extended periods and this is the best travelogue we have ever received. Very interesting and informative. Thank you very much. Amy is a love, but she is not a comprehensive travel writer.


The church is in the village of Crockenhill, about a mile outside Swanley. We're about 5 minutes by car from Junction 3 of the M25, and Junction 1 of the M20. There is a small car park at the church, with disabled access to both halls. There is plenty of extra car parking on the streets near the church.
The 477 bus from Orpington to Dartford stops in the village, only a minute or two's walk from the church. Swanley train station is a 15 minute walk away.
The map below shows the location of the church. Click on the red pin to get directions.
