"The Weekend Sailor is a new feature documentary about the unexpected victory of the Mexican yacht Sayula II in the first crewed sailing race around the world in 1974. The most demanding sailing quest in history"
In 1973, the United Kingdom organized the first head to head sailing race around the world, inviting expert crews from Europe and other countries against each other. The Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race, today the prestigious Volvo Ocean Race took the sport to its limits. The British Royal Navy purchased six yachts to train 800 man and chose the best four 10-man crews for each of the four legs of the race, yet, an inexperienced Mexican man also signed up. In his fifties, with a crew that included his wife, son, family and friends. His name, Ramon Carlín. A weekend sailor. And he beat every competing nation. In Mexico, Ramon lived the working man's dream, turning a door to door sales job into a million dollar company through flawless work ethic and a sheer effort. He married the love of his life Paquita and formed a family. His rebellious teenage son, Enrique, wanted to marry to his 14 year-old girlfriend, so Ramon sent him to school in Ireland to keep them apart. It only made things more extreme on their life. While visiting Enrique in the United Kingdom, Ramon noticed an ad on a magazine for a sailing race around the world. He'd been sailing casually for two years in Acapulco and saw this race as an opportunity to teach his son some discipline and a real life experience.

'Pervert': Florida deputies say president of condo association arrested 3 times for allegedly hiding cameras in homes
by: Katlyn Brieskorn, Nexstar Media Wire
FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — A Florida condo association president was arrested for the third time after deputies said he allegedly recorded at least four people in their homes.
Authorities said 59-year-old Robert Orr, who served as the President of the Las Brisas Condominium Association in Flagler County, is accused of installing a hidden video camera inside a condo without the owner's permission.
According to deputies, the camera was focused on the master bedroom.
Investigators said they first found the hidden camera on Aug. 30 after a woman staying at the condo discovered a USB camera hidden inside a flower pot.
Since then, Orr has been arrested a total of three times. He was most recently arrested on Dec. 14, when he was charged with five counts of video voyeurism and four counts of unlawful use of a two-way communications device.
Investigators said they have identified at least four victims recorded as far back as 2018. All the victims were unknowingly being recorded by hidden cameras within the condo, they said.

Orr now faces a total of twelve counts of video voyeurism and six counts of unlawful use of a two-way communications device, deputies said. He has posted a total of $90,000 in bail.
"We knew when we arrested this pervert this was likely not his first time," said Sheriff Rick Staly. "Our Major Case Unit has combed through his seized technology and worked hard to bring justice to the victims in this case. I encourage anyone else that thinks they may have been a victim to contact us."
Those who believe they may have been a victim of similar voyeurism are asked to call the Flagler County Sheriff's Office at (386) 313-4911.

New Coach, Solid Returning Core Bring Optimism to Lake Forest
By Ross Forman
Katy Shadek takes over the head coaching role at co-op Lake Forest, an average team last season in Metro Girls, now anchored around Kennedy Stein – a senior forward who has the hardest shot on the team, the most accurate shot on the team, is the best on penalty shots and, naturally, is their best stick-handler.
Despite playing only 8 league games last season, Stein (Lake Forest High School) still led the Scouts with 10 goals and 2 assists, including a game-winning goal. Then in 9 Founders Cup games, she struck for 22 goals and 3 assists, including 4 game-winning goals.
"While we have a roster of players with varying levels of experience, they work hard as a team both on and off the ice which helps with their success as a team," Shadek said.
The Scouts have 19 returning players, and represent Lake Forest, Libertyville, Stevenson, Highland Park, Deerfield and Woodlands Academy.
Shadek replaces Liz Zorn and Laura Danforth.
"From what I've seen so far, it should be a competitive season and I am excited to see how far this team can go," said Shadek, 22, who lives in Kenilworth and is a job coach working with teens and adults with special needs in the Wranglers program at Equestrian Connection in Lake Forest.
She is in her third season coaching, her third in the high school ranks. Shadek was on the bench at New Trier for two seasons, including the 2018 state championship and last season's state runner-up finish.
Shadek is joined on the Scouts' bench by Jacque Rogers (Lake Forest College class of 2020) and Jordan Trapp (Lake Forest College class of 2021).
Shadek also has coached multiple teams for the Wilmette Hockey Association, including currently for the Wilmette Girls U10s.
"(The former Lake Forest coaching staff) has set the bar high for Lake Forest and I am excited about the opportunity to work with this team and help them further develop their hockey skills and love of the game," she said. "Having grown up in the area, I know that the Lake Forest team has always been competitive and a close-knit hockey family. I have always heard positive comments about this organization and am looking forward to being a part of this team."
Shadek officially took over the LF coaching reigns on June 9. The team's season-opener was on the road Sept. 22 against Glenbrook.
Lake Forest has twice captured the Illinois Girls High School State Championships, in 2011 and 2013.

As the days are getting longer and we enter into summer, we thought it was only appropriate to round out the Spring Recipe Series with this delicious creation from the one and only Pam Bruan!
This is a fun dessert to serve to company in the summer, and a great way to use the grill.
Skewer fruit pieces randomly onto six 12 inch skewers. Place on a clean, medium-high, oiled grill and cook until fruit is soft and caramelized, about 5 minutes on each side.
Using a pot holder or oven glove, remove skewers and place on a large platter. Drizzle with the Melted Chocolate.
Place the candy in the top pot of the double boiler and stir until the candy melts and becomes smooth. Be careful not to splash any water into the chocolate in the top of the double boiler or the chocolate will seize and become unusable.

Give senior lawyer his current tax compliance certificate, high…
A PROMINENT senior lawyer in Kenya, Professor Tom Odhiambo Ojienda, has persuaded the high court in Nairobi to order that the country's tax bosses give him a current tax compliance certificate. This despite the Kenya Revenue Authority's earlier refusal to do so. The tax authorities say the lawyer owes them a lot of money and so they won't issue the certificate. But Ojienda told the judge he needed the certificate so that he could contest a seat he wants to keep – on Kenya's Judicial Service Commission, the body that helps select the country's judges.
Professor Tom Odhiambo Ojienda is a familiar name in Kenya's law reports. At the moment he is involved in several long-running disputes over his tax affairs, without any indication that these matters will be resolved any time soon.
Most recently, however, he was in court to persuade the judge of the constitutional and human rights division that he ought to be issued a tax compliance certificate even though the tax authorities had refused to oblige.
Ojienda told the court that he was a member of the Judicial Service Commission, representing the Law Society of Kenya on that body, with his term of office due to expire on 6 April 2019. In November 2018 the Law Society advertised for nominations to fill the post that would become vacant in April, namely its male representative on the JSC.
The deadline for nominations for the post was set at mid-December 2018, and one of the stipulated requirements was a current tax compliance certificate. Though he had been issued with a valid tax certificate every year since 2011, he was unable to get a new certificate when his old one expired in November 2018. In his view, this was a strategy to ensure that he would be out of the running for the Law Society's position on the JSC.
Ojienda said that all one needed for such a certificate was "remittance of accounts and payment of appropriate tax for the year in question", conditions that he had met every year, and that this was no exception.
In refusing to give him his current certificate the tax authorities were acting "maliciously and irrationally", he said, in order to "lock him out of the upcoming elections" for the JSC. One reason for Kenya's revenue bosses to act as they had was that he was involved in several disputes with them about his assessments including an assessment that had been set aside by the high court in May 2018, via a judgment that was now the subject of a pending appeal.
He said that the tax authorities refused to reconsider his application for the certificate, and in so doing they clearly showed "malice, bad faith, witch hunt, unreasonableness", a "total disregard" for the court process and "abuse of office" in order to keep him out of the running for the JSC position, a move that violated his political rights under the constitution.
He said he was entitled to an interim order for the certificate as he had already complied with all the requirements and there was so little time before nominations closed.
The judge said that he did not have to make any definite finding of fact or law, as that would be the work of the court that would finally hear the full petition. At this stage Ojienda only needed to establish that on the face of it this was a case with a likelihood of success. Ojienda also needed to show that unless the order were granted he stood to suffer real danger or prejudice. The test was not whether the case would definitely succeed at the full hearing, but rather whether it was a case that was "not frivolous".
"My take is that considering the totality of the issues raised in this petition, this court cannot say that the … case is frivolous. Indeed, I find that the dispute … over the issue of assessment of taxes is a longstanding legal battle that began way back in 2016 when (Ojienda) filed the judicial review case which was determined in his favour in May 2018."
It was not in dispute that Ojienda had "fully complied" with the requirements for his current certificate to be issued. It was also not in dispute that the reason the tax authorities refused to issue the current certificate was because of the pending appeal.
Because of this pending appeal, the judge decided it would be inappropriate to "delve" into that dispute, but that he would only consider whether Ojienda had made out a case, on the face of it, to warrant the interim orders he had sought.
In his view, Ojienda had established that he had "an arguable case" against the revenue authority in terms of which he stood to be severely prejudiced if the order were not granted. On the other hand, the tax authorities and the Law Society had not shown any loss they would suffer if the court made an order against them. The revenue authorities could cancel the certificate at a later stage if Ojienda were to lose the main case.
It was not in dispute that Ojienda had already obtained orders against the revenue authorities in other cases including one barring them from "initiating civil or criminal proceedings" against him over the disputed tax assessment. Now, that bar was cited by the taxman as the reason that a certificate could not be issued. From all these factors, said the judge, "one cannot help but … feel that the real reason" for the refusal of the certificate, particularly now when he needed it for nomination to the JSC, was to "pile pressure" on Ojienda "to give up or withdraw the case that he filed" against the revenue authority.
In the circumstances, it seemed that the taxman was attempting to steal a march on Ojienda in the pending cases, and for that alone a mandatory injunction was merited.
He therefore ordered that Ojienda be given his certificate immediately, but that, even if the revenue authorities refused to obey, the Law society should accept his nomination without a current compliance certificate.
The court's decision given on 4 December 2018 by Judge Wilfrida Okwany was quickly met by an announcement by the revenue authority that it would appeal. By the time the appeal was noted, however, Ojienda had already put in his nomination for the JSC position that he wants to keep.

The whole argument for pouring taxpayer dollars into this area is that its growth will spill over to the rest of the city, opening up jobs and business opportunities for all Detroiters. But research by Michigan State University's Laura Reese and Wayne State University's Gary Sands published earlier this year suggests that on virtually every metric, life outside the targeted zone is worse than it was even in 2010, when the alleged renaissance began.
Detroit's overall population actually declined by 2.6 percent between 2010 and 2014. The unemployment rate among Detroiters increased by 2.4 percentage points between 2010 and 2013. This may have been because of the bankruptcy-induced layoffs of city employees, but Sands maintains that the trends don't seem to have changed much in 2015. "About half of the neighborhoods in the periphery saw employment and payroll declines," he notes. What's more, although the overall number of Detroit businesses remained unchanged between 2014 and 2015, 13 of the more peripheral city zipcodes saw a decline.
The whole thing is a terrific read, if you like to be depressed about how our cities are increasingly being run as engines for boosting the profits of their richest citizens. But you almost certainly do, since you read this website, so by all means go check it out.
Sports and pizza boss Michael Ilitch said today he wants to buy the Detroit Pistons and move the team to a new arena in downtown Detroit.
The Ilitch family already owns the Detroit Tigers and the Detroit Red Wings.
The Ilitch bid is for the entire Palace Sports & Entertainment organization, not just for the basketball team itself. If successful, that means that the Ilitches would also own the Palace of Auburn Hills arena, the DTE Energy Music Theatre and other aspects of the Palace network.
You'll recall that the big question about this plan, which was originally floated about a month ago, was whether giving monopoly control over sports and concerts in the Detroit area would really generate enough money to pay for a new Detroit arena. Still nothing on that in today's coverage, though enough column-inches were spilled on it that there was room for worries that Bud Selig might thing Ilitch doesn't love him anymore.

Carpenters, Carriers, and Cell-Sites (Oh My!): SCOTUS to Hear Mobile Locational Privacy Case
By Kelley Drye on June 8, 2017
Posted in Broadband, Federal & State Regulatory, Litigation, Privacy
On June 5, 2017, the United States Supreme Court granted cert in Carpenter v. United States, a case in the hotly contested area of mobile cellular location data privacy. The question before the Court is whether law enforcement must obtain a warrant for historical cell-site location information.
The case stems from 2014, when Timothy Carpenter was sentenced for his alleged role in coordinating a series of armed robberies of smartphone vendors. To support its case, law enforcement obtained access to 127 days' worth of Mr. Carpenter's cell-site location records through what is commonly referred to as a "D order" (after the subsection of the act under which the records were requested). Whereas warrants require the government to show probable cause, under the Stored Communications Act, a D order merely requires that law enforcement present "specific and articulable facts showing that there are reasonable grounds to believe" that the records requested "are relevant and material to an ongoing criminal investigation." 18 U.S.C. § 2703(d). …

That Won't Fly: The D.C. Circuit Strikes Down the FAA's Registration Regime for Recreational Drones
By Kelley Drye on May 24, 2017
Posted in Federal & State Regulatory
Last week, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ("D.C. Circuit") struck down an FAA regulation that required the owners of small Unmanned Aircraft Systems ("UAS") to register with the agency (the "Registration Rule").
In 2012, Congress passed the FAA Modernization and Reform Act ("FMRA"), which prohibited the FAA from creating "any rule or regulation regarding a model aircraft." Under the FMRA, a model aircraft is a UAS that is:
capable of sustained flight in the atmosphere;
flown within visual line of sight of the UAS operator; and
flown for hobby or recreational purposes.

Sprint and Windstream Waste No Time Appealing Business Data Services Order

Open Internet Rules Hit the Federal Register, Triggering Effective Dates and Appeal Deadlines
By Chip Yorkgitis on April 13, 2015
Posted in Broadband
On April 13, 2015, a notice and summary of the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC's) seminal Open Internet Order (the Order) was published in the Federal Register. As we explained in an earlier blog post and client advisory, the Order includes new and modified open Internet rules; reclassifies broadband Internet access service (BIAS) as a "telecommunications service" under Title II of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended; and imposes several provisions of Title II on BIAS providers (e.g., consumer protection, privacy, and disabilities access requirements), while forbearing from others. …

D.C. Circuit Sends a Strong Signal in NAB Case – Public Notices May Not Be Reviewable

In May of this year, the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) petitioned the D.C. Circuit to review a Public Notice issued by the Media Bureau.

Court Dismisses Verizon Net Neutrality Appeal — For Now
By Kelley Drye on April 5, 2011
Posted in Broadband, Litigation
Back in January, we posted on Verizon's attempt to appeal the FCC's Net Neutrality order. Verizon presented a controversial claim that the order was a "licensing" decision which limited review to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The FCC opposed that interpretation.
If successful, Verizon's preemptive move would have prevented a lottery from deciding which court of appeals considered the Net Neutrality order. Yesterday, however, the D.C. Circuit dismissed Verizon's appeal as premature.…

Verizon Net Neutrality Appeal Update
By Kelley Drye on February 3, 2011
On January 20th, Verizon took the controversial move of appealing the FCC's Net Neutrality Order before notice was published in the Federal Register. Shortly after Verizon appealed, MetroPCS Communications filed a similar appeal, also in the D.C. Circuit and also relying on section 402(b) to assert that venue lies exclusively within the D.C. Circuit.
The FCC has moved to dismiss both petitions as premature. Verizon opposed the motion and the FCC filed its reply yesterday. At this time, the court has not ruled on the motion. However, the D.C. Circuit issued a brief order denying Verizon's motion to refer the case to the Comcast panel of judges.
Meanwhile, the FCC's order still has not been published in the Federal Register. Once it is published, we expect multiple appeals to be filed, most likely in several circuit courts of appeal. Such appeals would trigger the lottery process to determine where to consolidate the cases.
Links to the pleadings relating to the FCC's motion to dismiss are available below.…

Verizon Appeals Net Neutrality Order
By Kelley Drye on January 21, 2011
In a controversial move, yesterday Verizon filed an appeal of the FCC's Net Neutrality Order adopted December 21. Verizon sought review in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit — and asked the same panel that decided the Comcast case to hear the appeal.
Verizon's appeal is controversial because it was filed before…
FCC Adopts Net Neutrality Rules, Endorses Accelerated Docket Complaints for Violations
By Kelley Drye on December 21, 2010
Posted in Broadband, Enforcement, Investigations & Audits, Federal & State Regulatory, Litigation
Today, a divided FCC adopted enforceable "net neutrality" rules for the first time. By a 3-2 vote, with all three Democrats voting in favor and both Republicans voting against, the Commission adopted a Report and Order in its Open Internet inquiry. As Chairman Genachowski announced last month, the new rules rely upon the FCC's "Title I" authority to adopt "basic rules of the road" to preserve the open Internet "as a platform for innovation, investment, competition and free expression."
To win the support of the other Democratic Commissioners, the Chairman agreed to several changes from his proposal last month. Most notably, the Order applies the transparency rule and a limited blocking prohibition to wireless carriers, and — although the exact extent is unclear — appears to bar wireline broadband service providers from engaging in paid prioritization of Internet content. The Order also adopts a definition of the "broadband Internet access services" to which the rules apply.
Commissioners Copps and Clyburn pronounced this action imperfect but sufficient to enable them to permit adoption of the Chairman's proposal. On the other hand, both Commissioners McDowell and Baker dissented from the Order. Both strongly objected to the Commission's claim of exisiting authority over Internet network management. Commissioner McDowell also asserted that the Order would create "irreparable harm" — a factor considered by courts in granting a stay of agency orders.
The FCC action is described in more detail below. UPDATED: A PUBLIC NOTICE WITH THE RULES WAS RELEASED. SEE BELOW…

FCC's Genachowski Proposes Net Neutrality Rules, Creates Firestorm
Since April, the FCC has been struggling with how to react to the Court's reversal of the Comcast P2P blocking order. Today, Chairman Genachowski announced that he plans to move forward to adopt net neutrality rules at the FCC's December 21 open meeting. That announcement was met with prompt condemnation from the Republican commissioners and measured support from his fellow Democratic commissioners.
Genachowski's speech abandons his prior proposal for a "third way" to resolve this issue. His current approach relies upon the same Title I authority that the court of appeals found lacking, although presumably the Chairman intends to provide a better rationale connecting the rules to the Commission's authority. One issue that should not get lost in the shuffle, however, is that Chairman Genachowski is proposing to adopt enforceable rules that bind broadband providers for the first time. This would replace the 2005 Policy Statement, which, as we've pointed out, creates enforcement problems of its own.
Follow the jump below to read the statements released today.…

Thousands Of Migrants Seek Asylum In Canada The Past Few Weeks
The federal and provincial governments are under pressure to deal with the thousands of new asylum seekers arriving in Canada in the past weeks. There has been a growing number of migrants arriving in Quebec seeking asylum. Many of them file claims to the IRB to be granted asylum seeker or refugee status. With thousands of newcomers, the IRB is now forced to utilize all its resources in order to handle numerous claims and deal with the current back log.
In July, 3,000 asylum seekers were intercepted by the RCMP while crossing the border in Quebec. This August, the number has risen to 3,800. This is considered a huge spike from June where 781 asylum seekers were intercepted by the RCMP as they walked across the border. In January, the figure was much lower at 245.
The Government Is Under Pressure
Housing these asylum seekers has become a challenge for the government. According to an announcement that was made by transport minister Marc Garneau, a new shelter is set to be opened in Cornwall where some of the migrants will be housed. There are also refugees being hosted at the Olympic Stadium whereby tents have been pitched to provide temporary housing for the migrants. Some conservatives now claim that providing new housing for the migrants will only encourage more of them to come. Therefore, they argue that the government is not coming up with solutions that will deal with the issue and avoid long term issues.
As a result of the influx of asylum seekers in recent months, the government has made a move to add new staff to the IRB in order to help process the refugee and asylum applications faster. A ministerial task force has also been put in place to help manage the process. Although the government clearly states that there is no crisis, they are taking measures to ensure the situation is properly managed. Conservative MP Michelle Rempel stated that the resources that are being used to deal with the rising number of asylum seekers should have been directed to deal with more urgent cases of refugees.
The government is facing criticism from the opposition for failing to address the rising number of asylum seekers and refugees coming to Canada from the U.S this year. The migrants come from different parts of the world, with countries like Nigeria and Haiti having the highest numbers, claiming to fear the changes in immigration policy that will be put in place by the new administration in the US.
Partner With A Canadian Immigration Lawyer
The Immigration and Refugee Board recently increased the waiting period for hearing asylum seeker claims to 16 months. However, some of the changes made by the government have not had any significant impact on speeding up the process of addressing the current backlog. Immigration lawyers can help asylum seekers to prepare their claim and increase their chances of getting accepted. Immigration policies keep on changing and working with a lawyer will ensure the migrants increase their chances of getting the refugee or asylum status.

7 Best Shows Like 'Luna Nera' You Must See
Sayak Basu
If we tend to look carefully, we shall see that folklores in many places across the world, mention witches and their magical powers, with which they tend to cause great harm to whoever they want to. In the middle ages, many women in Europe were accused of being witches and as a result, were burnt at the stake. The Netflix original series 'Luna Nera' tells the story of such an incident that happens in Italy.
A midwife called Ade and her grandmother are accused of being witches, and even after they try to escape, the elderly lady is caught. Just when she is about to be burned, a group of mysterious women appear out of nowhere and stop the burning with a magical chant. But the group of local witch-hunters is not about to give up easily. With great production design and some solid performances, 'Luna Nera' is a compelling watch for fans of supernatural drama shows. If you have enjoyed watching this series, here are some other titles you can check out. Many of them are available on Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime.
7. Shadowhunters (2016-2019)
Clary Fray is the central character of this Freeform original series, based on 'The Mortal Instruments' by Cassandra Clare. Despite possessing superpowers all her life, Clary comes to know about the same when she turns 18. She discovers that she is a Shadowhunter, a human with special abilities, with which she can take on demons and other supernatural forces from the netherworld.
After her mother gets kidnapped, Clary joins a group of Shadowhunters in order to bring her back safely. Intense visuals and a solid premise are the reasons why 'Shadowhunters' has become one of the most talked-about supernatural shows in recent years.
6. The Magicians (2015-)
A Syfy fantasy series, 'The Magicians' centers around the adventures of one Quentin Coldwater. When the show begins, we see him getting admitted to Brakebills University for Magical Pedagogy, a school of magic. However, his friend Julia's application to the school is rejected and she has to learn magic from some other source.
As he studies more and more about magic, Quentin begins to understand how it reflects all the things he has read about this world till then. While the series begins with a magic school, it is also a brilliant adventure story with amazing special effects and interesting characters with whom you will fall in love in no time at all.
5. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018-)
This Netflix original series follows the adventures of the eponymous character who is half-witch and half-human and has equal connections to both of these worlds. As she tries to maintain a balance between the two, Sabrina realizes that certain forces of the magic world are becoming a threat to the humans she cares about. Despite being about a supernatural world, 'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina' does delve into modern issues with equal sincerity.
4. The Originals (2013-2018)
'The Originals' is a spinoff of the highly popular TV series 'The Vampire Diaries', and centers around the adventures of the siblings Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah. These siblings belong to the very first family of vampires in history. The story follows them as they gear up to take control of the city of New Orleans which was originally under their rule but now, has been taken over by a protege of Klaus. The series beautifully connects up with 'The Vampire Diaries' and bolsters its superior writing with strong performances by the cast members.

3. Grimm (2011-2017)
Set in the modern world, 'Grimm' is the story of a police officer called Nick Burkhardt. He realizes that he is a member of the family, which has produced huntsmen called the Grimms whose job is to protect the earth from the nefarious creatures of the netherworld.
The creatures he is up against are known as the Wesen, and one among them, Monroe, proves to be Nick's ally. Nick also has, beside him, his trustworthy partner in the police, Detective Hank Griffin. 'Grimm' combines the aesthetics of a procedural show with the unpredictability and charm of the supernatural universe, thus essentially giving us the best of both worlds.
2. Midnight, Texas (2017-2018)
'Midnight, Texas' is the story of Manfred Bernardo, a psychic, who is advised by the ghost of his grandmother to find the eponymous town if he wants to have friends and stay safe. Since Manfred wants to escape his past, finding the town of Midnight and seeking refuge there is highly essential for him.
Once he finds Midnight, he realizes that all sorts of creatures who have been thrown out of their communities have found shelter in this town. Midnight starts becoming the haven for all the people who are discriminated against by their peers, thus giving the show a solid political subtext.
1. Supernatural (2005-)
This long-running supernatural fantasy series centers around the adventures of two brothers who set out to kill all the monsters and demons of the world, who have the potential to harm human beings. These brothers are motivated by the death of their mother at the hands of one such creature. It was actually their father who started off this trend, but now he has gone missing.
Will the brothers be able to find their father and take revenge upon the demonic entity which was responsible for their mother's death? The chemistry between the two leading actors and some genuinely scary moments have helped 'Supernatural' become one of the greatest shows of its genre.

Pyre I, from the "Pyre" portfolio
2007:7.10
Ficek-Swenson, Bernice
image: 9 in x 7 3/4 in; paper: 16 1/2 in x 12 1/2 in
The photographs in Bernice Ficek-Swenson's Pyre portfolio (2001-2006) capture the ephemeral and continually varied forms of burning fires in a series of close-up views. In some of the images, regimented rows of smooth, round stones determine the path of the flames and affirm the fire's presence in a concrete world. In other images the flames are captured against a backdrop of darkness, the dynamic forms verging on abstraction or, in the case of a few longer exposures, appearing as hazy clouds of light. The portfolio is printed as a set of twelve photogravures, a printmaking process widely used in the 19th century that yields a soft but grainy quality in the overall image and an almost velvety sense of tactility. Ficek-Swenson earned a BA and an MFA at the University of North Dakota, Grand Fork, and an MA at the State University of New York, Oswego. She is a professor of art at the University of Wisconsin at River Falls.

A watch's most significant function is to keep track of time, but mountaineering watches provide other essential information on altitude, location, weather, and health.
On this account, manufacturers compete with each other to produce brands with innovations. Most of these innovative features are helpful, but some complicate a watch's operation while others are seemingly useless.
As you contemplate buying a mountaineering watch or replacing your old one, what core features are worth considering? What brands are the best?
We'll review the best mountaineering watch brands required for your next expedition, noting every feature from functionality to style, durability, and convenience in this article.

Do I need a GPS Feature on a Mountaineering Watch?
Can Mountaineering Watch be used offline?
Could I Wear My Watch While Not Mountaineering?
Is it Worth it to Buy a Cheap Mountaineering Watch?
How Do I Take Care of a Mountaineering Watch?
Before purchasing a new watch, you must consider its core features, including GPS, altimeter, and compass functions.
An excellent watch option should be able to do all or some of telling you your location, anticipate the weather, estimate your distance and elevation, monitor your fitness, and last as long as possible.
Some smartwatches have a sync function that helps you connect to your phone for detailed weather forecasts and other functions. The following buyer's guide will highlight the factors you need to consider before purchasing a mountaineering watch.
According to economics, resources are scarce, but wants are unlimited. Therefore, price is the foremost thing to consider as you plan to buy your new watch.
Your estimated price range allows you to set a limit to peripheral features and prevents you from overpaying for specific functions you might not eventually use.
The more you're willing to pay, you're likely to get lighter, more durable watches with several features. Mountaineering watches could cost as much as $100 on the low side but can go over $500 on the high end.
Buying a mountain watch you can use without complications is essential. Some watches are touch screens, while others use the traditional button operation. While the touch screens seem like the most hassle-free option, they're useless when your gloves are on, or your hands are wet.
In contrast, button watches might be challenging to navigate as they require a specific pressing order but can work under the conditions that negate the earlier.
You want your watch to last as long as possible during an expedition even though you'll be regularly using some features that drain its battery. As such, you'll need a GPS watch that can last a couple of days per full charge.
Some watches use solar, which makes them last as long as your escapade. A watch might also come with a power-saving mode that reduces battery consumption by turning off some features when they're not in use.
Climbing can be exhausting sometimes, and the last thing you need is something that'll become a burden. Hence, it would be best if you had a light mountaineering watch that'll be comfortable on your wrist.
Watches between five grams and fifty grams are usually the sweet spot for mountaineers, but extra features mean more weight, and most watches with several features are above the sweet spot.
Hence, you have to sacrifice one for the other — your comfort or the features.
Your watch's design usually determines its durability. For example, a poorly designed wristband may pull off; that's why your choice must have a soft and flexible wristband.
Some designs fit corporate and casual occasions, so you can use them when you're not mountaineering.
Mountaineering is an outdoor sport, so you should expect sudden weather changes. Your watch should be able to withstand these weather conditions, including rainfall.
Therefore, you'll need a water-resistant mountaineering watch that you can wear without fear of damage whenever it comes in contact with water.
As you find your way through the hills, it's a beneficial practice to track your distance and elevation. Ergo, it would help if you had a watch with GPS to record your movement throughout an entire expedition. You can even analyze your data later on.
An altimeter is used to measure altitude while climbing. Since mountaineering involves climbing, a mountaineering watch should have an altimeter as one of its essential features.
A GPS can be used as an alternative, but it would only provide estimations from its coordinate data that wouldn't be as accurate as an altimeter's definite values.
Moreover, GPS operates on signal strength, implying that interference could disrupt its accuracy.
The compass's importance cannot be overlooked, especially on a journey you've never been on before.
Some of the routes you'll explore will be your first time, while others might have never been explored by anyone else. As such, you can't do without a compass.
Latest mountaineering watch brands have 3D compasses that work regardless of placement, which eases the stress of having to hold your wrist in a particular position for accuracy.
Peripheral features include a thermometer, barometer, fitness monitor, etc. Your budget determines the number of features you'll get in a watch. However, be careful not to pay extra for unnecessary features.
Here are the ten best mountaineering watches you can buy in 2021.
The 5X Plus Sapphire is built for every mountaineer; durable, comfortable, and feature-packed.
It's a multipurpose watch with incredible measurement accuracy via an automated GPS; it also features smartphone compatibility, compass, altimeter, and barometer.
The 5X Plus Sapphire will last two weeks in smartwatch mode, 60 hours in battery saver mode, and 24 hours in GPS mode. It's equipped with an ambiance sensor that controls automatic LED backlight and assures readability under intense sunlight.
You don't have to worry about water damage as it can resist water up to 100 meters deep.
While the Garmin Fenix 5X Plus Sapphire is a mountaineering watch, it has a stylish design that fits corporate outfits. Its stainless steel buttons, bezel and back, abrasion resistance, and scratch-proof sapphire lens guarantees durability.
GPS + Global Satellite Navigation/Topo Maps (Pre-loaded with topo maps of the US)
It can measure blood oxygen levels
Versatile (can be used for running, swimming, skiing, and be worn to non-sporting events)
The primary disadvantage of touch screen watches is that you can't operate them with gloves on.
However, that isn't the case with the Suunto 9 Baro — a multisport mountaineering watch with several intelligent features and navigation systems.
The Suunto 9 Baro can perform under adverse weather conditions and withstand heavy rainfall and other contacts with water up to 100 meters during outdoor activities.
It's equipped with a thermometer, barometer, compass, GPS, altimeter, and a heat map feature that allows you to track your route. With a stainless-steel bezel, sapphire glass, and silicone strip, you're assured of durability.
Integrated Wrist-based Heart Beat Tracking
GLONASS support
Intelligent Power Management
It can be operated with gloves on
The Ambit 3 Peak is one of the best-selling mountaineering watches in the market. Its market success can be attributed to its functionality, design, and durability.
Its most notable feature is the altimeter, as it's one of the pioneer altimeter watches. However, it boasts reliable water resistance and comes with long-lasting battery life.
The Ambit 3 Peak is also known for its accurate barometric pressure readings, reliable GPS, data-capturing features, and smartphone compatibility through Bluetooth and support apps.
The Suunto Ambit 3 Peak is one of the best you can get regarding convenience and durability. It weighs about 90 grams, which is good enough for a watch of its caliber.
Data-capturing
Reliable barometer, compass, altimeter
Ideal for other sports like running, cycling and swimming
No heart rate sensor
Complicated setup
There's no doubt that the Traverse is worthy of being a mountaineer's favorite with features like altimeter, barometer, thermometer, compass, step counter, flashlight, vibration alerts, and GLONASS support.
It has earned comparisons with the Ambit 3, having its fair share of strong points and shortcomings.
Step counter, flashlight, vibration alerts, and GLONASS support are features missing in the Ambit 3, but the Traverse appears less sporty, lacks Bluetooth connection, and does not support multi-sporting.
Both watches are even regarding water resistance and durability, but the Traverse edges its counterpart in terms of battery life and weight. The Traverse weighs 80 grams and can last up to 100 hours.
Route planning in Suunto Movescount with topographic maps
No Bluetooth
It does not support multisport mode
This is the first non-GPS mountaineering watch that'll make a list, implying that it's an excellent overall option regardless of a GPS absence.
The Pro Trek PRW-2500T-7's standout feature is its durability, with a titanium band material that guarantees you a couple of years despite regular use.
The absence of a GPS implies that it'll last longer than most of its counterparts, five months on a full charge without further exposure to sunlight and 23 months on power-saving mode.
Water isn't a problem as well; the Pro Trek PRW-2500T-7 guarantees you water resistance up to 200 meters.
Don't worry; you still have mountaineering functions packed in this watch, including stopwatch, countdown, calendar alarms, digital compass, barometer, altimeter, altimeter memory, and thermometer.
The thermometer has an accommodating display range between -10 degrees and 60 degrees Celsius. What's more? A duplex liquid crystal display, moon data, and tide graph.
Auto receive function
Multi-Band Atomic timekeeping
Duplex LC-Display
Water-resistant up to 200 meters
Long-lasting battery life
This is one of the best mountaineering gear you can get for yourself. Lightweight, multiple dates and time functions, and ranks highly in the market regarding weather tracking.
Sadly, you don't have the luxury of a GPS function, but you can find solace in a compass-based navigation system.
You can keep track of your elevation using the altimeter, and the barometer updates you with accurate weather information, including atmospheric pressure and building storms.
The Suunto Core Crush is also durable and completely waterproof.
Intelligent storm alarm function
7-day weather memory
Temperature compensation
Storm alarm
Sunrise and sunset times
Accurate & Easy To Use Altimeter
The Instinct GPS might be one of the latest entrants on the list, but its presence is ground-shaking.
It's a stylish watch built for military and outdoor sporting activities, offering you mountaineering functions, including a GPS, compass, and GLONASS navigation system.
You can monitor your fitness levels, track your elevation, and predict your descent using the TracBack feature that records your route from the starting point. It also features smartphone compatibility.
The Instinct GPS weighs about 50 grams, making it one of the lightest watches on the list.
What's more? A fully vented silicone wristband, water-resistance, and a scratch-resistant display that accommodates every ambiance.
3-axis compass and barometric altimeter
TracBack feature
Can monitor your fitness levels
Comfortable design
Battery life can be improved
The Epix is one of the best mountaineering watches you can get in the market, offering a full-color mapping GPS/GLONASS navigation system.
It has a high-resolution color touchscreen and an 8 GB built-in memory to store maps, topos, and satellite imagery.
You have the luxury of a 3-axis compass, an additional navigation system, and an auto-calibrating altimeter and barometer to give you real-time information, bearing, and weather change predictions.
It's equipped with smartphone compatibility functions and can resist water up to 50 meters deep.
Full-color mapping GPS/GLONASS
Altimeter, barometer, and 3-axis compass
1.4-inch high-resolution color touchscreen
Extensive mapping support
Compact size and unique design
No WIFI feature, unlike other high-end Garmin watches.
The Pathfinder PAG240-1 might be the least stylish watch on this list, but it offers you the best mountaineering functions except for a GPS navigation system.
So it's quite the best value for money if you're not bothered by the absence of GPS. However, you have easy-to-use Altimeter Barometer Compass (ABC) functions that can run on its fully charged solar battery for six months without further exposure to sunlight.
It's lightweight (65 grams), its rugged build can handle challenging terrains, and it's water-resistant, so you don't have to worry about rain.
Interestingly, the Pathfinder PAG240-1 has a 31-time zone function for 48 cities and a multiple-alarm function, including one for a stipulated target altitude.
Multiple alarms function
31-time zone function for 48 cities
You can set a target altitude
The display features a backlight for easy reading
Resin band with buckle closure for optimum comfort
Casio's G-Series has a history in the timepiece market, being the first-ever solar-assisted GPS watch with multiple functions.
The G-Shock Rangeman GPR-B1000 is one of the best buys for a mountaineer because of its rugged design, wireless charging, shock-resistance, water-resistance, triple sensor, and GPS navigation system.
The battery life lasts 33 hours with the GPS function after a 5-hour wireless charge.
Shock-resistant
G-SHOCK connected
Smartphone link
Tough solar
Long-lasting battery
A GPS navigation system is not an essential feature of a mountaineering watch. Still, it offers more accuracy than the Altimeter Barometer and Compass (ABC) functions, which every mountaineering watch should have.
Whether a mountaineering watch can be used offline depends on the watch's innovative features and the operation you are trying to perform.
All mountaineering watches can be used for offline navigation, checking fitness levels, and predicting the weather, but you can't perform mobile syncing when you are offline on a smartwatch.
The primary function of any watch is to keep track of time, and your mountaineering watch offers that primary function.
The most significant differences are the technological features in a mountaineering watch. Therefore, there is no restriction regarding wearing your mountaineering watch when you're engaging in other sports or non-sporting activities.
Getting a watch with primary mountaineering functions at a low price is a good bargain. Your watch is worth every penny if it's durable, comfortable, easy to use, and offers primary sporting features.
Watch out for features like timer, alarm, compass, altimeter, and barometer. Some sports experts suggest that you get a cheap watch if it offers the primary functions because of its uncomplicated user interface.
Most of these advanced watches have anti-scratch lenses, are water-resistant, shock-resistant, or mud-resistant.
However, maintaining your watch is very important as it helps it to last longer and in good condition. Try always to keep your wristband clean and avoid over-tightening it when you strap it to your wrist
Remember to charge your batteries as often as required.
A functional watch is as essential as any other mountaineering gear and for worthy reasons. It is a crucial ingredient of safe climbing and helps you enjoy each escapade to the fullest.
Several brands are available in the market, but the ones we've highlighted offer the essential features. They're also durable and can withstand adverse weather conditions and rugged terrains.
This comprehensive buyer's guide and the best mountaineering watch brands suggested will help you make a wise decision regarding price and brand on your next purchase.
It's a valuable resource whether you are planning to buy a mountaineering watch for the first time or you'll be replacing the one you already own.

Court denies bail to Jaipur psychiatrist arrested over illegal sale of drugs
In view of the tendency of drug addiction in the young generation, the accused cannot be granted interim bail at this stage, the court said.
Home » City Reports » Court denies bail to Jaipur psychiatrist arrested over illegal sale of drugs
JAIPUR: The Special Jaipur Metro-I Court for NDPS cases rejected the interim bail application of psychiatrist Dr. Anil Kumar Tambi, accused in the case related to the possession and sale of prohibited drugs without any valid documents.
The court said that an increase has been reported in the sale of drugs made for the treatment of psychiatric treatment and this should be dealt with sternly in the interest of the country.
Dr. Tambi – a well-known psychiatrist – had applied for interim bail on the grounds that he was suffering from heart disease.
"There are treatment facilities available to jail inmates, so this can't be a ground for interim bail," the court said.
Advocate Rajveer Singh, on behalf of Malviya Nagar resident Dr. Tambi, sought interim bail for two months on medical grounds saying that he is suffering from heart disease. Original bills of the medicines recovered were also presented.
Drug Control and Central Bureau of Narcotics had raided the house of Dr. Anil Tambi and arrested him in connection with the illegal prescription and sale of banned and NDPS category medicines used in the treatment of patients facing chronic psychiatry issues. These medicines are banned from being sold over the counter.


This article contains many teacher gift ideas for that special teacher in your life. Whether you're a parent looking to show your gratitude for the impact your child's teacher has had, or you're a student wanting to thank your teacher for the great memories this year, you can find excellent teacher gift ideas in this article.
For parents, it is important to recognize how much time teachers commit to your child's education and personal growth. In addition to what they do in the classroom, teachers spend lots of outside time grading assignments, buying supplies, and preparing lessons. There are two ways your teacher gift idea can honor this commitment. One way is to buy a gift to help the teacher better do his or her job.
Many teachers have to buy supplies outside of the classroom because of shrinking school district budgets, so buying a gift card to a department or office supply store can help the teacher make those purchases without cutting into his or her personal finances.
The teacher is also free to buy something nice if he or she chooses. Another possibility is to buy the teacher a crafted gift that he or she can use for decoration in the classroom.
If you want to help the teacher unwind, gift cards for popular restaurants or entertainment attractions can help the teacher focus on life outside his or her classroom. This option can also be nice because the teacher doesn't have to use it for something related to the classroom, and therefore can feel more free to use it as he or she sees fit.
For students, the etiquette regarding buying teacher gifts is a little different. It might be awkward for you as a student to present your teacher with a gift certificate to a spa or a steak dinner. As a student, you have the unique opportunity to show your teacher what you've learned from him or her.
For example, if your teacher read a book that is now one of your favorites, you could buy the teacher a special edition of that book, or another book by the same author. An added bonus to this type of gift is that your teacher could possibly reuse it in the classroom.
Teacher gift ideas don't have to stop at something bought from the store, either. Another way for you as a student to make a great impression with your teacher gift is to make the gift from scratch. There are lots of different arts and crafts you can make to present your teacher with a unique gift that will show off your skills.
Sewing or crocheting an article of clothing, or using scrapbooking or bookbinding skills to make a memento of the time spent together, are just two of the ways to make your teacher a one-of-a-kind gift that he or she will never forget.
These are just a few teacher gift ideas that you can use as a parent or student to honor your teacher for the difference he or she has made in your life.

Civil Defender
By Jason Marsh | March 1, 2006
Giving up your seat on a bus. Holding a door open for a stranger. Speaking softly as you gab on your cell phone in public.
To most of us, these seem like minor gestures, social customs we perform without thinking—if we remember to perform them at all.
But to P.M. Forni, they're much more than that. For the past decade, Forni, a professor of Italian literature at Johns Hopkins University, has been on a mission to renew Americans' appreciation for "civility," these kinds of everyday actions sometimes dismissed as mere politeness.
To Forni, acts of civility distinguish themselves from politeness or etiquette because they're based on a fundamental ethical principle: respect for other people.
"Civility is a form of benevolent awareness of others," he said. "When you tilt your open umbrella away from someone else's eyes, that flick of your wrist is civility."
Through public lectures, his 2002 book Choosing Civility, and his work as the director of the Civility Initiative at Johns Hopkins, Forni has tried to call more attention to civility's ethical dimension. He emphasizes that a breakdown in civility often leads to social disharmony, and even violence.
"You start with a slight, and very often the aftermath of the slight becomes violent," he said. "It's what makes two drivers go from flipping the bird to a car chase to a resolution with fists or shooting."
Recent surveys suggest that Forni is combating some strong trends in American society: An ABC news poll conducted earlier this year, for instance, found that 84 percent of Americans say they often or sometimes encounter people who are rude and disrespectful.
Still, Forni takes heart in the growth of school-based character education programs, which stress the respectful treatment of other people. The next generation of Americans must learn to practice everyday acts of civility, he believes, in order to form the strong social bonds necessary for a long and happy life.
"We need to be a part of networks of people for whom we care and who care for us," he said. "If I were not afraid of sounding too guru-ish, I would say that civility, conceived as a set of benevolent social skills, is a matter of life and death."

Alexandria City Council approves Beauregard zoning changes
Alexandria Times Staff
By Derrick Perkins
Despite calls from residents and Vice Mayor Allison Silberberg for more dedicated affordable housing units, the city council voted 6-1 to approve rezoning of the Beauregard corridor.
The vote came after hours of public testimony and discussion Saturday. Opponents, many West End residents, argued redevelopment will push out upwards of 10,000 of the city's denizens. Proponents of the plan, several city councilors among them, worried redevelopment could occur without their say-so, putting even more affordable housing units at jeopardy.
City council approved a conceptual version of a redeveloped Beauregard corridor nearly a year ago. Saturday's vote was to approve the zoning changes outlined in that document. The deal struck with developers gives the five major property owners in the neighborhood increased density in exchange for at least 800 units of affordable housing.
Neighborhood residents told city councilors they support the plan, but have few assurances they – and their families – will be around to enjoy the many public amenities, including a fire station and increased open space. Former city council candidate Sammie Moshenberg compared the plan to designs on another neighborhood ripe for redevelopment, arguing it put longtime tenants at a disadvantage.
"I live across the street from a major new development: Potomac Yard. Now I can fret about increased traffic and congestion, but I will also be able to take advantage of a new Metro station and the other amenities development bring," she said. "But more importantly there is no bulldozer on its way to demolish my home. Whatever price I pay, it won't be at the expense of my home. This is not the case for the residents of the Beauregard corridor."
Silberberg, who mounted several attempts to increase the amount of dedicated affordable housing units above 800, cast the lone dissenting vote.
"When we talk about these numbers, those are peoples' lives," she said. "I think the core question is: What kind of a priority is [affordable housing]?"
Developer representatives and city councilors, including Justin Wilson, argued demanding more than the previously agreed upon 800 threatened to sink the entire deal. The neighborhood's redevelopment has been in the works for several years and the subject of dozens of public meetings.
"We can't – sitting up here – be pulling numbers out of the air expecting [the developers] just to give them to us," Wilson said, arguing last minute changes would spike already increasing rent costs in the West End. "This will be a poison pill."
City councilors did agree to shift any savings from the construction of public amenities toward affordable housing, in Beauregard or elsewhere. They also left the door open to a last-minute offer by one of the property owners to secure more affordable housing upfront, though for just 10 years.
