Remembering Beth
Inside Beth Chapman's life with Dog The Bounty Hunter: Photos
By Wonderwall.com Editors 9:35am PDT, Jun 26, 2019
After a long, difficult battle with throat cancer then stage 4 lung cancer, Beth Chapman passed away peacefully on June 26 in Hawaii. She was 51. Following her death, many fans took to Twitter to express their condolences to the "Dog The Bounty Hunter" star. Beth's husband, Duane "Dog" Chapman, was by her side when she took her last breath, which is fitting, as they navigated life together at home and on TV. Keep reading to see how Dog and Beth went from an on-and-off romantic relationship to become two of reality TV's most notable lovebirds.

Duane Chapman and Beth Smith met in the mid-'80s when she was just 19 and he was 34. The couple had an off-and-on romance but eventually married other people. They later found one another again and tied the knot in May 2006 — about a year after this photo was taken at A&E Upfronts in New York City in April 2005 — after 16 years together.

In 2004, Duane Chapman and Beth Chapman gave America a glimpse into their personal and professional lives when "Dog the Bounty Hunter" premiered. The show, which was filmed in Hawaii and Colorado, would ran for eight seasons. They're seen here at Dog's office in Honolulu in July 2006.

While both Duane Chapman and Beth Chapman (seen here before a boxing match at Madison Square Garden in New York City in January 2008) have children from previous relationships, they also share two kids together, Bonnie Joanne Chapman and Garry Chapman.
Beth Chapman (seen here with husband Duane Chapman at the 48th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas in April 2013) remained committed to her job of catching criminals even when her health took a downturn. "She has told me repeatedly that if these are her last days on earth she wants to spend every moment with me on the hunt, living life to the fullest and enjoying the time we have left together," Duane told the Daily Mail in March 2019.
Beth Chapman — seen here out to dinner with Dog in Los Angeles in March 2017 — was diagnosed with stage 2 throat cancer in August 2017. But after a 12-hour surgery to remove a tumor in her neck and further treatment, Dog announced that she was cancer-free that November. However, a year later in November 2018, the cancer had returned and spread to her lungs. Around that time, Dog told Us Weekly, "I don't listen to the bad news. I don't want to hear it… I cry all the time." He added, "I'm a sinner. I pray a lot. I have done double that. I constantly ask God to heal my honey and make sure He takes care of it. I've been telling Him that I'm going to try and quit smoking and cursing. I'm a dealmaker, and I'll do anything."
Duane Chapman and Beth Chapman were teammates on the small screen for multiple shows including "Dog The Bounty Hunter," "Dog and Beth: On the Hunt" and the upcoming WGN America show "Dog's Most Wanted," which was filmed during Beth's most recent cancer battle. "My wife, the love of my life, is fighting for her life," he said in a promotional clip for the new series. "Instead of being at home helping her, I'm out here looking for you. So, I'm warning you in advance: May God have mercy on you when I get you. 'Cause I won't." Beth chimed in, "You've been warned." The couple are seen here attending the Fox Reality Channel Really Awards in September 2008.
How's this for love? In speaking about his wife when her health started taking a turn for the worse, Duane told DailyMailTV, "My baby has cancer and she is fighting like hell. I have cried a lot over this because Beth is my everything. Despite all of the obstacles I have overcome, this is by far the biggest test of my life and mark my words, I will not let her die. She is my rock and my bodyguard. I will do everything I can to keep her here." The couple are seen here in November 2017 — the same month she was declared cancer-free during her first battle with the disease — at a celebration for Season 8 of "Hawaii Five-0" in Waikiki, Hawaii.
Duane Chapman and Beth Chapman continued to live their lives despite the diagnosis. After a night out in Beverly Hills in March 2019, Beth was approached by a reporter and she said she was feeling "pretty good." She added, "It's an every day struggle. You can either laugh or cry. We choose to laugh." The couple are seen here leaving Craig's restaurant in West Hollywood on Nov. 26, 2018 — just hours before Beth was rushed to nearby Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where doctors discovered a huge mass in her throat. She soon learned her cancer was back.
Things began to look dire for Beth Chapman — seen here with husband Duane Chapman at LAX Airport in Los Angeles in September 2018 — after she was rushed to a Hawaii hospital on June 22 after a choking emergency. The choking, TMZ reported, was related to breathing trouble Beth was having due to her lung cancer. She was soon placed in a medically-induced coma. "Please say your prayers for Beth right now thank you love you," Dog tweeted at the time.
Dog the Bounty Hunter — seen here with wife Beth Chapman in November 2017 — had her back until the end. Amid reports that Beth was not expected to recover from her latest hospitalization, Duane tweeted on June 25, 2019, "90% of what you're hearing is fake news. I don't mean to be nasty but some are filling in the blanks… Please keep prayers coming!"
Beth Chapman, seen here with husband Duane Chapman in 2009, passed away on June 26. In a tearful tweet, Dog wrote, "It's 5:32 in Hawaii, this is the time she would wake up to go hike Koko Head mountain. Only today, she hiked the stairway to heaven. We all love you, Beth. See you on the other side." RIP.

Who has the backbone to stop this?
Australia has an excellent health system. Yes, many improvements could be made, but generally the mixture of public and private provision of health delivery and insurance together with regulatory oversight works to provide one of the best, if not the best, health care system in the world.
Alongside this system is a parallel system of "medicine", where science might receive lip service but superstition, tradition and faith provide the supposed evidence of efficacy and safety. This sector used to be called "Alternative Medicine" but now prefers to be referred to as "Complementary" in the hope that it can be seen as an adjunct to real, scientifically-based medicine.
In the grey area between these two forms of medicine sits Chiropractic.
There is a popular misconception that chiropractors are some sort of back pain specialists. If a chiropractor confines himself to treating lower back pain by massage and manipulation then he is not really doing chiropractic, he is doing physical therapy. The fundamental principle of chiropractic is that all dis-ease (note the hyphen) is the result of subluxations of the spine causing pressure on nerves and therefore inhibiting the transmission of the signals which allow the innate intelligence of the body to heal itself. Everything is caused by subluxations (which chiropractors have trouble reliably identifying on x-rays) and everything can be fixed by removing these annoying misalignments. Chiropractic rejects the "germ theory" of disease, preferring to see microorganisms as just inconvenient nuisances or perhaps even opportunistic scavengers that come along after disease is established.
Chiropractic was "discovered" by Daniel Palmer in 1895 when he cured someone's deafness by pressing on a bulge on the person's back. (Anatomists will say that the nerves between the ear and the brain don't go through the spine.) Palmer's son saw the commercial potential of chiropractic as well as training schools and colleges, and there is a thriving industry today teaching chiropractors how to attract and keep patients. Attempts to reform the profession and place it on a scientific basis have been strongly resisted, and chiropractors in the USA who have broken ranks have been subject to much vilification and abuse.
Examples of the promotion of inappropriate uses of chiropractic are easy to find. Almost any magazine aimed at new parents will contain advertisements for chiropractors who claim to treat autism, bed wetting, asthma, ADHD and colic. One highly promoted chiropractic treatment for children is for the ear inflammation otitis media. Not only are there no nerves passing from the spine to the ear, but the procedure exposes children to risk from sudden stress on the spine, particularly the neck.
One aspect of chiropractic which is often overlooked its declared opposition to vaccination. If everything is caused by vertebral subluxations then vaccination is unnecessary, but the opposition goes beyond that to claims that vaccination is harmful. At a recent trade fair in Sydney aimed at parents of young children a professional association of chiropractors was distributing brochures which contained serious misinformation about vaccines. In an extreme case, at the 2000 national conference of the Pediatrics Council of the US International Chiropractors' Association an award of Hero of Chiropractic was made to a man who was in prison for the murder of a ten-week old child. The award recognised that the killer was just as much a victim as the dead child, because a vaccine had really caused the intracranial bleeding and the broken ribs, not Shaken Baby Syndrome.
Outside of journals run by and for chiropractors there is little reliable and valid evidence that chiropractic is useful to treat any medical condition other than some forms of back pain. There is no scientific plausibility to the hypothesis that subluxations of the spine impair nerve function (except in the grossest cases, where the spinal damage far exceeds any definition of subluxation) or that this impairment affects the operation of the body's immune system. There are direct dangers from chiropractic treatments, particularly neck manipulation where there is a risk of stroke from sudden movement, and there is the indirect danger that people with serious illnesses will use chiropractors as primary care physicians (a term that chiropractors regularly attempt to appropriate) and consequently avoid medical treatment.
I would like the relevant authorities to take the follow actions.
Prohibit chiropractors from using the honorific "Dr" and from referring to themselves as doctors
Discourage health insurers from providing benefits for chiropractic care, other than for treatment of lower back pain
Provide educational material to the public advising of the limitations of chiropractic and the dangers of some chiropractic procedures
Prosecute chiropractors who claim to be able to treat conditions which are not plausibly amenable to spinal manipulation, such as autism and ADHD
Prohibit chiropractors from treating young children for any reason

TRANSCRIPT - RADIO INTERVIEW - ABC RN BREAKFAST - TUESDAY, 6 NOVEMBER 2018
FRAN KELLY (HOST): Why have one election when you can have two? The Morrison Government has reportedly looked at sending voters to the ballot box twice next year. First for the Senate and then later for the House of Representatives to give the Government more time to regroup following the leadership coup that unseated Malcolm Turnbull. The manoeuvres being canvassed as all six crossbenchers in the hung parliament leave open the possibility of preferring Liberal backbencher Chris Crewther to the High Court which would further undermine the government's grip on power. Tony Burke is the Manager of Opposition Business. Tony Burke, good morning.
TONY BURKE, MANAGE OF OPPOSITION BUSINESS: Good morning.
KELLY: Now, the Prime Minister's office has told us this morning there are no plans for dual elections but we do understand that the two election option has been under active consideration. If the election for the Reps was delayed until November it would give the government more time to recover its position with the voters. How would that affect Labor's chances do you think?
BURKE: Whenever an election is called Labor is ready, we're stable, we're united. But the fact that the Government has even had this consideration is about as focused on yourselves as you can get. It would have them clinging to power until the last minute for the election, inconvenience to the public, massive additional costs. This is something that ordinarily the concept of separating House and Senate elections, governments of both sides have just dismissed as not even an option.
KELLY: It has been done before, a few times.
BURKE: But you don't want to nominate the date because it's a while ago.
KELLY: No it is, the sixties and the seventies, just for everyone listening.
BURKE: And so the reason it hasn't happened is that the public know that if you make that sort of decision it's all about the politicians, it's not about the public. Why is it good for the public to have to vote twice? To have to pay for two elections? It's a ridiculous proposal and I'd be surprised if they end up deciding to do it. What stuns me is that they even had it under active consideration.
KELLY: Well the Prime Minister's office has told us this morning that there are no plans for a dual election. The election will be next year and most people have been thinking it would be May after the NSW state election. But it is possible for the Government to have an election in early March to be called soon after Australia Day. When do you think the election is most likely?
BURKE: I think the story today says it all. The timing will all be about power and it'll be chosen obviously by Scott Morrison.
KELLY: Which is always the case.
BURKE: Well I don't know that it's always all about power.
KELLY: Well the adage is that Prime Ministers go to the election when they think they can win.
BURKE: And maybe that's why he was wanting to cling to the last possible date with this other thing being under active consideration. But they've got the problem that at the last election they spent a whole lot of the campaign saying how illegitimate minority government would be and that's the reason you shouldn't vote Labor. They're now in exactly that situation as a minority government which they said would bring instability not just for the Parliament but for the economy. And every day it goes on the fact that Scott Morrison still can't even say why Malcolm Turnbull's not Prime Minister just makes the public think what on earth is happening here?
KELLY: Let's go to the other notion with regards the hung Parliament. None of the six crossbenchers have ruled out supporting a Labor motion referring Liberal MP Chris Crewther the Member for Dunkley to the High Court under section 44 of the Constitution. A number of crossbenchers say they want detail briefings, Kerryn Phelps told us this yesterday before she makes up her mind for instance. Is Labor planning to test the numbers by seeking to refer Chris Crewther when Parliament resumes later this month?
BURKE: We're certainly providing all the information we can to the crossbench. I have always said on these matters that the smart thing for the government to do is for them to make the referral themselves. Now, the government threatened a number of times referring our members and ultimately once the Katy Gallagher case came down our members made the decision the High Court ruled on our facts anyway and went straight to by-elections. But no one can say that they can be sure what the High Court will rule on these matters and every time the Government walks into Parliament without a majority. So they're by the skin of their teeth every day and if there is any reasonable argument that says constitutionally they might not be entitled to be there, even with just one of their members, you have to refer to the High Court.
KELLY: Well that's the notion of whether there is a reasonable argument. We've heard from constitutional lawyers in recent days like Anne Twomey and George Williams, two of our top constitutional lawyers, of the view that Chris Crewther probably doesn't have a problem. His shareholding in the biotech company Gretals Australia probably doesn't have a financial agreement with the Commonwealth, even if it's received a benefit via research grants. Have you sought your own legal advice on this?
BURKE: I'd have to refer the full detail of that to Mark Dreyfus. The issue that we have though, and it was the same with the solicitor general's recommendations on Peter Dutton, is we all know that we've all been wildly off on predicting what the High Court would do in these cases.
KELLY: So given that, will you let sleeping dogs lie? Or is Labor actively contemplating or in view that the position of Chris Crewther should be tested in the High Court?
BURKE: Well, our view is that it should be tested in the High Court and we are calling on the Government to move the motion themselves. That's what the Government should do.
KELLY: If it doesn't do that will Labor try and bring it on?
BURKE: We'll deal with that when we get there. At the moment our position is that the Government should do that. It goes to every law that's passed in the Parliament. It goes to whether or not the Government has any legitimacy to govern. It's not unreasonable to say the High Court should check and from the Government's perspective, it's one thing to have not realised that Peter Dutton or Chris Crewther might be having these problems but it's another thing to not care and to not care and to not bother to check.
KELLY: Don't you think the Australian public are a bit sick of the parade of MPs through the High Court? They just want the Parliament to get on with governing.
BURKE: I think that's absolutely true. They also don't want the Constitution to be ignored. That's reasonable too. They want whoever is in government for it to be legitimate. And as long as you've got a government that is hiding and refusing to let the High Court check on the eligibility of its own members, one of whom is in charge of national security and home affairs then it's just a reckless way to deal with principles that have been in our Constitution for more than 100 years.
KELLY: Tony Burke thank you very much for joining us.
BURKE: Good to be back.

Remembering The 1964 Tokyo Olympics
Published July 28, 2021 at 12:40 PM EDT
On this Oct. 10, 1964, file photo, balloons fly over Olympians and spectators during the opening ceremony of the 1964 Summer Olympics at the National Stadium in Tokyo. The famous 1964 Tokyo Olympics highlighted Japan's resiliency. It was a prospering country that was showing off bullet trains, transistor radios, and a restored reputation just 19 years after devastating defeat in World War II. (AP)
This year's summer Olympics mark the second time Tokyo has hosted the games.
The first was in 1964. Tokyo had been selected to host the 1940 summer Olympics, but the games were canceled because of World War II.
To mark Japan's recovery from the war, torchbearer Yoshinori Sakai — a Japanese athlete born in Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, the same day the United States dropped the atomic bomb — lit the cauldron in 1964.
After an emotional Opening Ceremony, Japan's women's volleyball team won gold in the final against the Soviet Union.
The year 1964 was packed with historical events: The Beatles played "The Ed Sullivan Show" in February. The World's Fair was in New York that year. The U.S. was at war in Vietnam. The Civil Rights Act was signed into law. Muhammad Ali was the heavyweight champion of the world.
Athletes and fans remained focused on the sports during the Olympics despite everything else going on during that time, says author Roy Tomizawa, who wrote the book "1964 – The Greatest Year in the History of Japan: How the Tokyo Olympics Symbolized Japan's Miraculous Rise from the Ashes."
Tomizawa argues that the '64 Olympics represented a rebirth for Japan — a mile marker of all that went before and all that came after.
The games took place 19 years after the end of World War II. Photos from after the war show that bombings left parts of Toyko in rubble, he says.
"The challenge was phenomenally great. I mean, Japan was devastated," he says. "So getting to the games and then running a fantastic one, according to all the visitors, that achievement was unprecedented."
The first-ever Olympics in Asia earned the Japanese praise for "their efficiency, modernity and friendliness," he says.
"I think the most important thing was the consensus in Japan. From government to corporation to student, all the way down the line, it was universal: Everyone wanted the Olympics to succeed," he says. "And that's why it was such a watershed moment in Japanese history."
Watch on YouTube.
On how Tokyo made the games run so smoothly
"The biggest reason there was this huge momentum from the economy, what we call the Japanese economic miracle. Japan had found its strength in the export markets and the Japanese were at a moment of great innovation and creativity. You know, necessity is the mother of invention, as they say. And so tremendous creativity and innovation in the 1950s and 1960s, particularly in the major manufacturing industries like automobiles and electronics, for example. So the whole country was humming and everyone was working hard to get the country back on its feet. And so when the Olympics came around, it was actually a time to breathe and pat themselves on the back. I think they were all amazed at what they had accomplished at that point."
On Japan's handling of hosting the Olympics this year during a global pandemic
"I don't think the Japanese government or the Japanese people would wish this situation on any other host city. Any decision to cancel, proceed or postpone all have issues. I think in a way, the only logical decisions have been made so far. I sort of wish personally that the organizers and the Japanese government agreed on having fans in the stands. There was just too much evidence that you could do it. You know, even in Japan, professional baseball had upward of ten thousand people in the stands on game day last Saturday or two Saturdays ago. Team France and Team Japan had a basketball friendly in Okinawa, which was also under a state of emergency, and they had people in the stands. And of course, you know, in America, there are people in the stands in almost every professional event there is. So there was a professional wrestling match in Tokyo Dome, I think, a few days ago. So, you know, I think there is enough signs that we could have done it. But obviously the organizers felt that the public sentiment was so negative and that they have to respect that. And I respect that, too, even though I had a lot of tickets."
On what surprised him from his interviews with 70 athletes from 16 countries
"I don't think there were surprises as such, but they had endless anecdotes and stories of those days. And to me, it was just such a revelation to hear about how they thought about Japan. I felt honored to be able to hear their stories and to play them back in the book. It was always my dream while I was writing the book that when we had Tokyo 2020 that they would come visit during the Olympics and we would grab tickets for their event in '64 and watch it together and just have a grand old time. And of course that never came to be so."
On how Tomizawa's father worked as an editor for NBC during the 1964 Olympics
"I wish I had asked [him] more. He passed away before I could ask him questions when I was writing the book, but of course he had brought back all sorts of memorabilia from those games, coins and patches and things of that nature. And I do remember him talking about the Japanese women's volleyball team, about the training that they underwent so that they could be as good as they were. But we're a family of sports fans as well. So, you know, we just love sports. And when he was working for NBC and they had regained the contract to the broadcast, I was hoping secretly one day that I could get on some sort of NBC team to help out. But that never happened."
On why Tomizawa couldn't find any books about the 1964 Olympics
"I was quite lucky. But I suppose part of it is that anything dealing in the Japanese language is going to be a challenge for researchers and having to conduct all the interviews in Japanese, for example. But you know what? They could have translated probably books written in Japanese into English. I guess perhaps the interest in sports books is not as great as I would like. But on the other hand, I was quite fortunate that was material not covered so I could go in with eyes wide open."
Alex Ashlock produced and edited this interview for broadcast with Jill Ryan. Allison Hagan adapted it for the web.

The local authority data by ONS showed people in south Northamptonshire had the highest average happiness score of 7.86.
Daventry was second with 7.46, followed by Northampton with 7.41, Wellingborough 7.32, Kettering 7.31, east Northants, 7.25 and Corby 7.01.
For life satisfaction, south Northants also came top with a score of 7.97, with Daventry second with 7.78.
East Northants is in third place with 7.58, then Kettering with 7.49, Northampton 7.34, Wellingborough 7.25 and Corby with 7.18.
The data, which also measured how anxious people feel and how worthwhile they rate their life, was collected from a sample of 2,060 people in Northamptonshire.


A motorcyclist from Port Townsend was injured in a two-vehicle crash on Highway 106 Tuesday afternoon. According to the State Patrol, a 2008 Harley Davidson motorcycle was eastbound on State Route 106 about 12:30 PM. At the intersection with Creekside Drive (milepost 13 – seven miles west of Belfair; about a mile east of Twanoh State Park), a 2008 Chrysler van, which was westbound on SR-106, turned left from in front of the Harley. The rider of the motorcycle was ejected and the both vehicles came to rest in the roadway.
The State Patrol identifies the injured motorcyclist as Jeffrey S. Hubbard, 56 of Port Townsend. He was transported to Harrison Hospital in Bremerton.
The driver of the van, Mildred L. Kloot, 74 of Belfair, was not injured.
A WSP press memo indicates the cause of this crash was failure to yield.

By Patrick Condon Star Tribune
October 2, 2020 — 10:10pm
The rival Minnesota candidates for U.S. Senate offered sharply different visions for the job in a short debate Friday that saw them clash over the pandemic, public safety, race, the Supreme Court and climate change.
The 50-minute debate on Minnesota Public Radio was the third and final scheduled encounter between Democratic Sen. Tina Smith and her Republican opponent, former U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis.
Coming just hours after news of President Donald Trump's positive coronavirus diagnosis, the federal response to the pandemic dominated the start of the debate. Smith criticized the White House's handling of the COVID-19 crisis while Lewis decried the economic toll from Gov. Tim Walz's business restrictions.
Lewis met with Trump on Wednesday on the president's campaign visit to Minnesota.
"I've been tested four times in the past four weeks. We maintained social distancing — I did talk to the president, but at a distance," Lewis said. "We're going to quarantine until I can get to a doctor until I can get tested."
Smith said that "the Trump administration's response to the pandemic has been a disaster" — citing shortages of testing capacity and protective equipment, and a nationwide death count that has topped 200,000. She said her focus in the Senate has been on measures that would extend direct help to individuals, business owners, school districts and local governments.
"Quarantine the sick, protect the vulnerable, treat the rest of the country as adults and we will get through this together," Lewis said, while warning that business shutdowns would go on longer under Democrats. "You're not going to cure this with another Great Depression," he said.
The candidates also clashed on the police killing of George Floyd, and ensuing civil unrest that drove a nationwide debate over race and policing. Smith was asked to explain where she stands on the "defund the police" movement advocated by some activists on the left.
"I do not want to defund the police and I've said that consistently," Smith said. She added that the recent months have "laid bare inequities in our policing and in our courts" as she called for "common sense reforms to bring more accountability, transparency and justice to policing."
Citing discussions with Minneapolis business owners, Lewis said, "We don't have a problem with too many police, we have a problem with too little police." He cricitized Smith for, in his view, not sufficiently condemning the riots, looting and arson that followed Floyd's death in May.
Smith said that "we all condemn violence and arson and looting" but then added: "I have to say, to listen to our president in the debate earlier this week fail to repeatedly condemn white supremacy … I have not heard my opponent condemn that."
"Of course we all condemn them," Lewis responded.
Smith was appointed to the U.S. Senate by former Gov. Mark Dayton in early 2018. She won a special election two years ago. She and Lewis, a former Republican congressman and radio host, are now competing for a full six-year term.
A Star Tribune Minnesota Poll published earlier this week found Smith leading Lewis, 49 to 41%.

Pakistan plans to repatriate 1.6 million Afghan refugees
Updated November 20, 2015 at 7:25 PM
One of the top destinations for Afghan refugees has been Pakistan.
Now Pakistan is on the verge of expelling about one and a half million Afghans. That's in addition to the nearly four million that have already been sent back.
The U.N. says it's one of the oldest populations of refugees anywhere in the world.

A busy Labor Day weekend saw more than 40 arrests and citations, many for traffic-related issues.
Increased enforcement thanks to a Joining Forces grant put extra patrols on the streets.
While focused on preventing impaired drivers, only three driving under the influence arrests were reported.
"Alcohol is a substance that impairs decision making and muscle coordination which drivers absolutely need," Sheriff Ron Pierini said. "Statistics show that a person dies in an alcohol-related traffic accident every 50 minutes and I want everyone in our community to be aware of the danger of driving under the influence."
The Joining Forces program continues through Monday.
Most of the traffic arrests and citations over the weekend were for driving on a suspended drivers license, including one man who was pulled in for virtually the same charges a month apart.
Stateline was busy over the weekend with 16 arrests, including three people for possession of cocaine early Sunday morning.
Sheriff's deputies at the Lake dealt with a half dozen trespassing calls at the Stateline casinos over the weekend, with most of those early on Labor Day.
Most of the calls in Carson Valley were related to traffic enforcement, where someone had failed to appear in court.
Several of those defendants appeared in East Fork Justice Court on Tuesday.
Tahoe-Douglas Fire District responded to a report of an electrical fire at the Ridge Tahoe on Friday night.
No serious collisions were reported over the weekend.

Your continued access to or use of the modified web sites conclusively demonstrates your acceptance of those changes prospectively. Hot Rod Depot reserves the right to, at any time, discontinue products, change product specifications, prices, designs, features, models or equipment without incurring obligation.
No other provisions or changes are binding upon us unless reduced to writing and signed by an authorized Hot Rod Depot representative.
Hot Rod Depot will process all orders received the day after the order is received. If the item is currently available, the product will ship the day following the order date, with respect to the type of delivery service requested by the customer. (For example; If you order something on Monday selecting the Next Day Air Option, if the product is available, your order will be processed and shipped on Tuesday and you should receive it by Wednesday) This does not include weekends and holidays. We are not liable for shipping charges, for items that are not currently in-stock. We will ship the item the manner in which it was ordered (i.e. Next Day, 2nd Day) whenever the product is or becomes available… However, if the item is or becomes backordered, and you wish to change your order to UPS ground when it arrives, we can give you an in-store credit for the difference between ground and the air option you originally requested. There are no refunds given for shipping charges!
Fiberglass body parts do not fit the same as stamped steel parts. While they can be finished to show quality, fiberglass body parts are built closer to race car standards than show car standards. Although fiberglass parts are easy to work with, they can require substantial work to conform to the varying history of your car. This means every car is slightly different. We have come to this conclusion after many years of installing and selling fiberglass body parts from many different manufacturers. Within 30 days of receipt, you must check fit before sanding or painting your new fiberglass pieces. If fiberglass parts have been sanded or painted they can no longer be sold as new for either race or show purposes. For this reason, the manufacturer will not warranty such parts. Our policy for returning fiberglass parts is limited to the purchase price of the unit on exchange. A 20% restocking fee is applicable for the monetary return of funds. In the event you feel the product is defective, our policy requires that you send the product back to us freight prepaid. A full investigation by Hot Rod Depot and the manufacturer will ensue. This includes fitting the item on the respective car, matching the part to the mold, and matching it with other items produced from the same mold. If it is determined that the product is not defective, the product will be returned at the customers expense. If it is deemed that the product is defective, a replacement will be sent at no cost, and the return freight charges incurred by the customer will be refunded in the form of an in-store credit.
All product that leaves Hot Rod Depot is inspected and confirmed to be in good condition, heavily packaged, and is insured for the value of the product. Noted on the package is clear neon stickers warning you to inspect the product in the presence of the carrier/driver. In the event damages occur, have the driver notate the damage. If the package was left at your door, you must notify the carrier immediately and file a damage claim. Do not return the product to Hot Rod Depot as it is our policy to refuse returns without an Return Authorization number. Retain all the packaging so the product can be inspected by the carrier. In most cases, small repairs can be made at a reasonable cost. Get an estimate, and submit the claim. Full loss claims are scrutinized much heavier.
Back Orders – Items temporarily out of stock will be placed on back-order unless you indicate that a refund should be made. All shipping charges on regular domestic orders are charged on the initial order, so back orders are shipped at no additional charge. Back ordered items usually are shipped within 30 days, however, availability can change and Hot Rod Depot reserves the right to cancel any back order and issue a refund.
Hot Rod Depot expressly disclaims, and the purchaser expressly assumes, responsibility for any incidental or consequential damages arising from any and all product failure, sold through Hot Rod Depot.

Q: Windows Hibernate API Is it possible to programmatically trigger the Windows's Hibernate without actually Hibernating, just to take snapshot of the OS at regular intervals? So that the system can return to the previously saved state in case of any failure.
This is much like System Restore, which backups system files; but the idea is to backup the complete OS's active state.

A: I don't believe something like that exists, but even if it did, I don't imagine you'd want to use it.
When you hibernate, the kernel freezes all user-mode processes while it takes a snapshot of memory. This can take 10-15 seconds depending on how much memory you have (and therefore how much it has to copy to disk). You don't normally notice this because Windows blanks the screen, but you've probably noticed that the "power" light stays on for a while longer after you hit the "hibernate" button.
So I can't imagine a use-case where freezing everything for 10-15 seconds is really desirable...

A: No, I have never heard of anything like this. Also, there's (at least) one reason this would be quite tricky to pull off: If you want to save the entire state of the system, you also need to save the state of the harddisk, i.e. take a snapshot of all active partitions (since a file there might presently be open). If done naively, that would be prohibitively expensive. There are ways around this (e.g. FS support for snapshots), but it would be non-trivial.
Note that exactly what you want is already possible in most virtualization software programs; they usually support "snapshots".

A: VirtualBox has API to create snapshots, and does this quite fast. But 10-15 sec. delays are inevitable.

'It's Not Lord's' and progress with Honley CC renovations
'It's not Lord's': A West Yorkshire Cricket Anthology
By accident.
In the later noughties, a colleague from The University of Huddersfield, Peter Davies, suggested a creative writing group within the annual Pennine Cricket Conference, part of Peter's history of cricket in Kirklees and Calderdale. The group didn't thrive, but with Peter's energy we began to put together selected pieces from the history website (http://www.ckcricketheritage.org.uk). Peter was then off work for a while. We had no access to the university press, so, early in 2011, we kept the momentum going by starting up a new small publishing company, working with local printers, Riley, Dunn and Wilson. Finance came from a personal loan.
Whilst Peter has now retired from teaching, he is still very active in local cricket circles and writing.
It can be enjoyed on a number of levels.
First, it praises the players, professionals and amateurs.
Second, it pays tribute to the efforts of the men and women who, from behind the scenes, enable players to perform at their best. Persistence in the face of stiff opposition, otherwise known as Yorkshire bloody-mindedness. Some articles touch on external pressures: commerce, church committees and vicars, league and cup administrators, sponsors and benefactors. The major theme remains, however, success through people, mostly unpaid, at the sharp end. This relentless bottom-up pressure helps create personal identity; the interplay between individuals and their social environment. Who am I? How do others see me? How am I the same or different to others?
Third, it is a short journey through history. How informal games of bat and ball grew into organised cricket. Despite professionalism, commerce, gambling, and wealthy patrons. Despite efforts by middle-class vicars to improve bodies as well as minds. Despite landowners, railway companies, house-builders, racists, war and a hundred and one other things, cricket clubs thrived and achieved. The influx of top overseas players, amateur immigrants, ladies in administrative roles, computers and bowling machines also hint at the eras in which cricket has developed.
Fourth, it is a celebration of mostly local, university and amateur writing. Guys who just love to search around and understand stuff.
Fifth, I would like to think that the articles are not purely about informing, but are also to be enjoyed.

About the social enterprise
Autumn 2012, Chris Humphries, a friend from Honley and now Holmfirth, bought a couple of cricket books and mentioned he was part of a group hoping to raise money to help renovate Honley CC's pavilion. It was a natural response to offer the proceeds of 'It's Not Lord's' to the fund.
As of summer 2013 the pavilion remains at the planning stage.
Update on the social enterprise - December 2013
The group have met thirteen times in all. The guys are: Dave Hutchinson (Treasurer), Malcolm Ellis (Aedas architects), Bill Parker (Chairman), Charles Greaves, Chris Farrell, Peter Green, Rob Moore and Chris Humphries.
Progress has been steady. A development plan is 90% complete. It contains a history of Honley CC and the project, including cricket achievements, community interaction and fund-raising successes. It lists the problems that have been encountered and their solutions. Support has come from sports clubs, including Holmfirth Harriers and local institutions such as Holmfirth High School. Steve Archer from the Yorkshire Cricket Board has been both consultant and link with the English Cricket Board.
The group are keen to retain the pagoda as part of the new build. The options include a grant-funded top of the range facility for all (disabled access as well) through to a less ambitious locally funded scheme. £10k is already in the bank from the local council, and book sales have topped £600 with more to come from the group.
Once the development plan is complete, the group can go ahead with formal fund-raising.
Richard Green, Dave Walker and Dr Bill Parker in front of the pavilion
April 2015 Dave Hutchinson writes
In the last 12 months the Cricket Club have;
Repaired the balcony on the Pavilion which included removing the old score box and new wood to most of the area. Helped by Andy Birkhead and his company Huddersfield Joinery.
Replaced the lean-to roof on the shower which backs onto the Recreation Ground plus lots of painting by Peter Green.
Replaced certain tiles on the Pavilion roof.
Built/repaired new changing rooms in downstairs of Pavilion for use by visiting team.
Present project to create two new Artificial Wicket lanes (mainly for the Juniors) in the corner of the Ground - old garage remove and groundwork completed. Expected overall completion mid-May. We've lots of spare top soil if you need some?
Total cost of property repairs in 2014 accounts was £3,838 which reflects the fact that a lot of this work was carried out by players and members (including those well known local roofers Chris Humphries and Bill Parker !) with free/low cost assistance from local plumbers, joiners, electricians and builders.
Members of the renovation group - Chris Humphries (CWH) (Chairman), Rob Moore (RM), David Hutchinson (DJH) (Secretary and Treasurer), Peter Green (PBG), Malcolm Ellis (ME), Charles Kaye (CK), Bill Parker (BP), Charles Greaves (CG), Chris Farrell (CF)
New Mill MVC goes to Cornwall
New Mill Male Voice Choir set off for Cornwall later in this week. A contest and sundry other concerts including a return fixture with St Buryans MVC, who visited with us in 2014.
Our contest pieces are Ave Verum, In Flanders Fields and Swing Low. They have been composed or arranged by local guys: Alan Brierley (our MD), Robert Cockroft and Jim Morgan.
The concert venues include St Pol, Land's End, Liskeard and Truro Cathedral.

Students Shine at University presentation
EDKA Consultancy
Elina, Dominic, Kathryn, Alex.
Representatives from New Mill Male Voice Choir attended a research presentation last Tuesday. The second year business students worked on our relationship with supporters and general audience and came up with some challenging yet common sense suggestions which we need to take forward.
They were very attentive consultants and communications were excellent.
The group came to our Christmas concert at Christ Church, New Mill and gave a spendid rendition of Four Calling Birds in our version of The Twelve Days of Christmas. New Mill Club was the venue for the concert afterglow and earlier this year, the focus group of 6 singers from the choir.
Otherwise consultations took place at the university - great coffee.
We all wish them well in their next real world projects and look forward to renewing our relationship with the university once we have developed an action plan from the current research.
Honley Ladies entertain
A welcome return for Cliff Matthews whose arrangements are still in Honley's songbook.
Honley is now a large choir and produces a rich powerful sound.
Whilst Cantorion Gele is small, their second half showed great control and harmony.
Credit to all who took part. Apparently everyone was well fed.
The raffle went okay too.
New Mill Choir 'afterglow'
The Rock in Brockholes, any time after 9.00pm. Tuesday 14th April.
New Mill Male Voice Choir informal sing after our Town Hall concert.
Be there!
New Mill Memorial Room - Open Night
We had around 20 turn up on the night. A couple of great nephews of WW1 casualties and the rest simply interested, wanting to find more and respectful. Many didn't know there was a memorial room within a local club which is known more for its bar, pool, snooker and crown green bowling. The room is taken very seriously, a quiet place away from the rest of the club. Unusually, the cenotaph is indoors.
This was phase 1 of Tom Ashworth's plan.
1. Find relatives of 34 men commemorated in New Mill Club.
2. Book launch 'Photos on the Wall', a short history of New Mill and the Great War
13th May 7.00pm New Mill Club
3. Photograph the 34's final resting places.
This is from behind. Some people don't like the donkey, so ignore if you want.
The original house/club is two storeys with white concert room, brown brick extension and patio on stilts added later.
New Mill Memorial Room
This is the WW1 cenotaph. I'm told it is one of the few indoors. It was the main reason behind the purchase of the building. Few people realise there is a memorial room there as it is mostly a club for the local village
Andrew Arnold 10:31am Mar 18
Try searching for the men in family trees on Ancestry. If there is a match contact the tree owner. I made contact with many relatives of the men on my local memorial by doing this
Gillian Talbot 9:30am Mar 18
Your local paper would write an article. Ours helped us time and time again when we were researching Uttoxeter's names. A website helps too. Ours brought in people from Canada and New Zealand! Good luck! it is a fine thing you are doing.
Sarah Smith 9:11am Mar 18
Start a facebook group, have an open day at a local library or somewhere. That's what we did for the Conisbrough and Denaby 100 Project, and we've found /been found by quite a few relatives
Andrew Arnold 11:03pm Mar 18
Try & put in as many details as possible - year of birth, place, year of death, parents names etc. Of course there may not be a tree at all...
Heather Lamb 12:38am Mar 19
If you would like any help pm a name to myself and I will happily research for you :-)
Josh Timlin 12:46pm Mar 19

Would he be interested in doing something for the war weekend in September
David Walker 8:59am Mar 18
Tom Ashworth, a Holmfirth military historian will soon publish a book about 34 men from New Mill (near Holmfirth, Huddersfield)) who were killed in WW1 and who are commemorated in the memorial room of New Mill Club. We do not know the whereabouts of any friends and relatives who could hook up with this project. Any ideas as to how we find them?
David Walker 5:28pm Mar 18
Brilliant all of you - we are having an open night and there is some pr. Tom had a Facebook page. Andrew, locating just a name in Ancestry hasn't worked - can you guide me in the process? Thanks
An update for all of you. We have held an open night. 20 or so turned up, mostly interested people rather than relatives, but a success nevertheless. Our next date will be the book launch on May 13th.
Tom, the author of the book, met Josh last week and an article is out soon.
We have something on Facebook - photosonthewall66@gmail.com
The publisher's website - shallileybooks.org
Andrew - I have copies of biographies now of the 34 men - I might have a go at Ancestry.
Heather - how would you search and would there be a fee involved?
Jason - What is happening in September?

This is how it is now. I had a walk past it the other weekend. It's such a shame it's been left to crumble!
Thought I would thank you all for contributing to the thread. A friend and I just happened on the site at the end of a walk. Eric Gehlhaar to be precise, who also worked there for two years - as a psychiatrist. It's a mess as you can see. I spent my time there as an auxiliary, filling in for holidays, mostly on the acute ward, though I visited the locked and other wards occasionally. Wiki has a good entry.
It was shut in 1991 by other friends of mine from NHS days - John Rotchell, David Whalley and David Devlin.

Trouble with money
Tom, author of 'Photos on the Wall', due out May 13th
New Mill Club launch, 7pm.
Wednesday night, open invitation for friends and relatives to visit the memorial room at New Mill Club. About twenty came when we thought we could have struggled. So a great night and worth a pint of blonde over the club bar. Tom, author and my current client, 'You'll have to lend me some money.'
Greg and yours truly opening the batting at Helmsley.
Our ages combined were more than their total.
Blow me following morning. Pilates with my pal Greg, followed by an Americano in Scufflers. 'You'll have to buy them, I haven't any money'.
The final indignity out of three - last night at the Giants. We lost and the ref was too. I had a complimentary ticket given me after I'd gone in and paid my £18.

Benedict Cumberbatch's yellow outfit on W Magazine cover has become a hilarious meme
Elaine McCallig
Benedict Cumberbatch was one of ten famous actors to feature on W Magazine's Best Performances issue.
Each given their own front cover, the magazine honoured an array of A-listers including: Kristen Stewart, Adam Driver, Gemma Chan, Lady Gaga, Denzel Washington, Cate Blanchett, Jessica Chastain, Jennifer Hudson, and Tilda and Honor Swinton.
Cumberbatch has had a remarkable year which saw him play a leading role in Netflix's new flick Power of the Dog, which swept up numerous Golden Globe awards.
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly got engaged then 'drank each other's blood'
It's been 6 years since the iconic reality TV moment 'David's dead' was aired
But it wasn't Cumberbatch's on-screen prowess that had chins wagging after the W Magazine cover was unveiled.
Clad in a floral Hermès shirt, a yellow bucket hat, and tinted Ray-Ban sunglasses - some likened the actor to Sacha Baron Cohen's Ali G.
He was also compared to Raoul Duke from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas thanks to the hat and glasses combination.
Some compared his get-up to festival attire:
Others said the picture showed the "Wes Anderfication" of Cumberbatch, or that he was "manic-pixie-dream-girlified".
Either way, people enjoyed sharing their thoughts on the outfit:
In the W Magazine interview, Cumberbatch spoke about his latest film, and revealed that his parents - who are both actors - discouraged his "ridiculous choice of occupation".
But after playing Antonio Salieri in Amadeus when he was in his early twenties and at university, his father told him he's better than he ever was or ever would be, and he's now delighted to share the profession with his parents.
Alongside his acting career, it looks like Cumberbatch will now be also be hailed as a fashion icon…

Im in the process of trying to design a pH sensor, however there are a few things so far which are confusing me.
Essentially i intend to buy a pH probe such as the "American Marine Pinpoint pH Probe", attach it to an amplifier such as the AD602 (as seen in the weight sensor project) which is in turn connected to one of the ADC pins on the MCU.
Every pH probe is attached to a BNC connector, as i am new to electronics, i have no idea how i am meant to attach the probes wiring to the AD620. Am i supposed to cut of the connector and work with the actual wire? What will if find if i do this. Will it have 4 wires S+,S-,E+ and E- again like the weight sensor project... I dont just want to start cutting probe wiring until i know what im dealing with, these things are $50 a piece.
I think once this problem is solved the rest should hopefully fall into place.
That doesn't look like a BNC connector It looks like a power plug with two contacts (normally center + outer -) (2 wire plug).
Regardless "IF" the probe is just two wires use a multimeter to measure continuity of the probe when it it in your calibration fluids.
Use the multimeter (voltmeter) to measure the monitor voltage at the socket.
IF the monitor is just measuring resistance and you know the voltage you "should" be able to easily connect to your Op-Amp/Nerdkit.
You could just use the tempsensor project code.
If the probe has a power plug (not BNC) take it to Radio Shack to see if you can find a matching receptacle that way you do not need to cut the wire. If it is BNC you might find a socket at Radio Shack or on line.
The first thing to do is to determine how your probe works. Variable resistance would be the easiest to deal with.
The tempsensor project is where i intend to start, however for all the pH probes ive read about it is required that you have an amplifier as the pH electrode has a very very high source impedance. From what ive read a typical pH probe will put out approximately 60mV per pH level and the source impedance is in the order of a billion ohms.
So at the moment im just working on the project theoretically, i want to get the hardware aspect of the project in order before i start with the coding.
From reading through something like this, I see what you're talking about: a voltage slope of about -60mV per pH unit (around neutral / pH=7), with a impedance of 10 to 100 Megaohms. I've never worked with this type of sensor before, but we can try to start making educated guesses based on that information.
Physically, you could use a BNC jack to plug your cable in.
Then, electronically, you could try using an op-amp as a high-input-impedance input buffer. For example, one of my favorites is the TLC2272, which is a dual CMOS op-amp in a DIP-8 package with rail-to-rail inputs and ouptuts. The input bias current is listed as 1pA typical around room temperature. This yields a (undesired) voltage drop of 1pA*100Megaohms = 100uV -- far smaller than the 60mV per pH unit, and also much smaller than your ADC input resolution. You could bias the exterior part of the cable around 2.5V, and then use one channel of the op-amp to simply buffer the input around that point. Then, you could use the second channel to possibly amplify the signal to make use of the full ADC scale -- for example if you wanted to measure a pH range of 2 to 12, that would be 2.2V to 2.8V after buffering, but you could amplify it by a factor of about 8.3 to get it to take the full 0 to 5V scale.
Other op-amps may provide lower input bias current, or lower power consumption, or other desirable properties, and that's fine -- I'm just recommending one I happen to have on my workbench right now.
There is one last source of confusion.. You also create a voltage reference at 2.5 volts which is which i want to do.. i think.. is this set up specific to the weight scale or is it a universal set up i could use to also get a voltage reference of 2.5 volts.
Also i forgot to add. coming out of pin4 of the op-amp id that a capacitor (the green thing) of so what is its capacitance.
AD620 weighscale schematic is here.
Three 1K resistors in parallel leads to a smaller overall resistance, of 1000/3 = 333 ohms.
I do think you want a 2.5V reference (as is common when using a single-supply op-amp setup with a 5V supply).
I don't think you need to use the AD620 because you don't really need its features, and don't need much amplification at all in any case. However, it is a good clue as to what you need to do (with 2.5V reference, etc).
So this is where I am up to. I have used this schematic and the basic circuitry of the NerdKit including the LCD display to try and build my pH sensor.
HOWEVER it has not worked!. When I connect the battery the LCD shows no life. I know its the additional circuitry that is causing the problem because when i remove it the LCD works.
Below are some pictures to show what ive done. I Am using a TL062CP op-amp just like the one in the pH schematic. If i was to guess whats wrong i would say that my attempt at copying the schematic hasnt worked. i have used the same value resistors (for the voltage reading to be between 0-5V). The potentiometer could be an issue i dont know if thats wired up correctly. Also where ever it says on the schematic V+ i have wired it to the +5V rail and for V- have wired it into the ground rail. Also on the BNC jack, one wire is going into ground(green) and the other (black) is going into pin3.
As i am new to electronics so i do not know what things i should be doing to debug the system.
I hope I have given enough info for this post to be of any use. I Would like to Thank everyone in advanced for helping me.
If you have any questions ill do my best to answer them.
Ive managed to get power. It was the potentiometer. I took the +5v lead out and switched it to the ground and then took the lead that was originally in the gnd rail out completely and i have a functioning lcd screen.
Next step is to reprogram the microcontroller. Going to start by Just getting ADC values between 0 and 1024 and displaying them on the ldc then going to calibrate the probe.

The ownership requirements of REITs
INSIGHT ARTICLE | February 15, 2018
Neil Furmanski, Steven Gianos, Scott Helberg
With attributes that help mitigate tax and reporting obligations for individual, tax-exempt and foreign investors, real estate investment trusts (REITs) have long remained an attractive alternative to pass-through structures for certain real estate funds. Due to the recent passing of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), REITs have become an even more attractive investment vehicle for real estate. Starting in 2018, the TCJA allows for ordinary REIT dividends to qualify for the new 20 percent pass-through deduction regardless of the wage and qualified basis limitation rules. This benefit has captured the attention of many private real estate owners and investors looking to reduce the overall tax burden on their real estate holdings. While this is an appealing benefit, longstanding prohibitions on controlled ownership of REITs serve as a barrier to entry and remain a challenge for investors looking to incorporate as a REIT.
While there are several organizational and operational requirements that must be met to qualify as a REIT, this article will focus on two ownership tests that present issues for any investor considering a REIT for their real estate investments—the 100 Shareholder Test and the closely held prohibition test.
100 Shareholder Test
After the first taxable year, REITs must be held by 100 or more persons for at least 335 days in a 12-month taxable year or a prorated equivalent for a short tax year. The determination of ownership is based on the holder of the actual REIT shares (the person who gets the Form 1099-DIV). There is no consideration for attribution when testing for 100 shareholders. For example, assume a partnership with 150 partners owns 100 percent of the REIT's stock. For purposes of the 100 Shareholder Test, the partnership, as the sole owner of the REIT shares, counts as the only shareholder and the REIT would fail the test. All classes of stock are considered as part of this test. If the REIT has one common shareholder and 125 preferred shareholders, for example, it would qualify for the 100 Shareholder Test. The 100 Shareholder Test is generally not a problem in the public REIT sector due to the number of public investors. However, it can be a challenge to secure 100+ investors in the private sector. Private REIT sponsors, who may not have access to a critical mass of investors necessary to meet this requirement, often hire shareholder accommodation firms to help bring in the necessary amount of investors.
Closely held prohibition test
After the first taxable year, REITs cannot be closely held. A REIT will be closely held if more than 50 percent of the value of its outstanding stock is owned directly or indirectly by or for five or fewer individuals at any point during the last half of the taxable year. This is commonly referred to as the 5/50 Test. Unlike the 100 shareholder requirement, attribution rules under section 544 (modified to exclude partner attribution), must be applied to the 5/50 Test. These attribution rules require the REIT to look through corporations, partnerships, trusts or estates to the ultimate owners, shareholders, partners or beneficiaries. Each individual is assumed to own all shares owned by their brothers, sisters, spouse, ancestors and lineal descendants. Special care should be taken with respect to shares owned by certain trusts, tax-exempt and foreign entities as treatment varies (i.e., treated as an individual, look through to beneficiaries, or ignored altogether) for these purposes depending on facts and circumstances.
Example of 5/50 Test
Top 5 shareholders
With attribution
Tom B*
14% (10% + (80%*5%))
Tom B and Bill B (treated as 1)
24% (14% + 10%)
Bill B*
Individual 1*
7.6% (80% * 9.5%)
*Note: Assumes that Individuals 1, 2 and 3 are each a 10 percent partner (along with seven other unrelated individuals holding the same 10 percent interest each) in the upper-tier partnership (UTP) that holds the 95 percent interest in Partnership, LLC which in turn holds 80 percent of the common REIT stock. The remaining 5 percent of the UTP is held by Tom B. Further assumes that Tom B and Bill B, who are brothers, each own 10 percent of the common stock in the REIT. Finally, all preferred stock of the REIT (which has nominal value relative to the common shares) is held by 125 unrelated individuals.
Without the attribution rules, this REIT would pass the 5/50 Test as the total effective ownership of the top five shareholders would be 46.8 percent of the REIT. Due to the attribution rules, Tom B and Bill B, who are brothers, must combine their interests as if they were one person. Consequently, the top five shareholders then own 54.4 percent of the REIT and fail the 5/50 Test.
Maintaining compliance
There are certain strategies and mechanisms in place to monitor REIT ownership and ensure compliance with the aforementioned rules. REITs often times include certain ownership and transfer restrictions in their governing documents to preserve REIT status. For example, to help prevent an inadvertent violation of the closely held prohibition test, REITs will often times include an excess share provision in their governing documents that limits the amount by which a shareholder can increase his or her stock ownership (directly or indirectly via attribution). If a transfer is attempted that would violate the closely held prohibition test, the transfer to such an individual is voided, and the shares are instead transferred into a trust with charitable beneficiaries. Special care should be taken to make sure any such provisions do not infringe on another organizational requirement that REIT shares be freely transferable (beyond the scope of this article).
Another REIT requirement intended to help with the monitoring of these ownership tests is the shareholder demand letter. REITs are required to issue an annual shareholder demand letter to a certain number of shareholders on record to request confirmation on the actual owner of the REIT stock and the number of shares owned. REITs must distribute these letters within 30 days after the close of the REIT's taxable year.
The 100 Shareholder Test and the closely held prohibition test present significant obstacles for private real estate owners considering a REIT for their investments. The 100 Shareholder Test requires that the REIT's stock be held by more than 100 persons or entities. The closely held prohibition test requires that no more than 50 percent of the value of the REIT stock be held by five or fewer individuals (directly or indirectly via attribution). REITs can avoid violations of these tests through excess share provisions, thorough documentation with demand letters and continued monitoring of shareholder rosters. When considering the ownership rules, it is important for REITs to have the proper advisors in place to assist with these issues. A violation of these rules can result in significant penalties or worse, the disqualification of REIT status.
ABCs of REITs
REITs are becoming increasingly popular, but along with many valuable benefits come strict compliance rules that must be considered.

Suspicious package at justice center turns out to be stuffed unicorn
by: Craig Cannon
Posted: Apr 1, 2019 / 10:03 AM EDT / Updated: Apr 1, 2019 / 10:33 PM EDT
CONWAY, SC (WBTW) – A suspicious package that delayed the opening of the Horry County Government and Justice Center on Monday morning turned out to be — a stuffed unicorn.
The suspicious package was discovered Monday morning by maintenance staff, according to Kelly Moore, Horry County Government spokesperson. Multiple crews were called to the scene at about 6:45 a.m. to investigating the package.
Moore said the package was found in a location that doesn't typically have a package over the weekend. The call was made "out of an abundance of caution," Moore said.
The center delayed opening and operations until 9 a.m. due to the investigation. Later in the morning, the package was determined to be safe.
It turns out, the package contained a stuffed animal for use in the county's Victim's Advocate Office. It was recently ordered by the Solicitor's Office through grant funding.
"This little guy, along with other stuffed animals and toys, will help comfort children who have been impacted by crime in our community," the county posted on social media.
Horry County Police, Conway Police, and Conway Fire Department assisted in the investigation.
NORTH LAS VEGAS, NV (KLAS/WBTW) -- Detectives with the North Las Vegas Police Department need the public's help finding the person, or people, responsible for leaving a one to 6-month-old baby boy inside a dumpster in North Las Vegas.
The child was found dead Sunday morning in a dumpster in the 2500 block of Carroll Street near E. Carey Avenue and Civic Center Drive.
ROBESON COUNTY, NC (WBTW)- Two people are dead after a single-car crash in Robeson County.
Trooper J.W. Scott, with the North Carolina Highway Patrol, told News13 the crash happened on Cabinet Shop Road. Troopers believe the vehicle crossed the center line, hit a tree, overturned, and caught fire.

COLUMBIA, SC (WBTW) - A Grand Strand lawmaker is trying to prevent opioid overdoses by giving people more access to a life-saving drug.
The state Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) says about 73% of the 1,103 drug overdose deaths in South Carolina in 2018 were caused by opioids.

COVID-19: Saudi Arabia Suspends International Flights, Shuts Seaports
Saudi Arabia on Sunday halted international flights and suspended entry through its land and sea ports for at least a week, after a new fast-spreading strain of coronavirus appeared in Britain.
The kingdom is "temporarily suspending all international flights — except in exceptional cases — for a period of one week, which can be extended by another week," the official Saudi Press Agency said.
"Entry to the kingdom through land and seaports will also be suspended for a week, which can be extended by another week," SPA added, citing the interior ministry.
The suspension does not apply to international aircraft currently in the kingdom, which will be allowed to leave, SPA said.
The development comes after several European countries banned travel from Britain on Sunday as the UK government warned that a highly infectious new strain of the virus was "out of control".
SPA said passengers who arrived in Saudi Arabia from Europe — or any country where the new strain was detected — starting December 8 will be required to self isolate for two weeks, and undergo testing.
Neighbouring Kuwait also announced a ban on Sunday on passenger flights from Britain over the new strain of the virus.
Alarm bells are ringing across Europe — which last week became the first region in the world to pass 500,000 deaths from Covid-19 — after it appeared that a more infectious strain of the virus was raging in parts of Britain.
Last week, Saudi Arabia kicked off a three-phase Covid-19 vaccination programme, after the first shipments of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine arrived in the kingdom.
Saudi Arabia has so far recorded more than 361,000 novel coronavirus cases, including more than 6,000 deaths –- the highest among the Gulf Arab states. But the kingdom has also reported a high recovery rate.

Jan Darnowski (ur. 16 stycznia 1879 w Gogolinku, zm. 9 listopada 1920 w Warszawie) – żołnierz armii niemieckiej,  powstaniec wielkopolski, oficer Wojska Polskiego w II Rzeczypospolitej. Kawaler Orderu Virtuti Militari. Pośmiertnie awansowany na stopień kapitana.

Życiorys
Urodził się w Gogolinku, w rodzinie Jana i Anny z Talaskich. Absolwent seminarium nauczycielskiego. W 1914 wcielony do armii niemieckiej. W jej szeregach walczył na frontach I wojny światowej. W 1918 wstąpił do oddziałów powstańczych i walczył na północnym odcinku frontu wielkopolskiego. Na czele kompanii, a potem II batalionu 4 pułku Strzelców Wielkopolskich wziął udział w wojnie polsko-bolszewickiej. 14 września 1920 w trakcie akcji pułku na tyły 170 BP bolszewickiej, baony niespodziewanie natknęły się na silny opór nieprzyjaciela. Brawurowe natarcie baonu por. Darnowskiego po pięciogodzinnej walce przyniosło rozbicie oddziałów 165 BP bolszewickiej, która straciła ok. 600 zabitych i 300 rannych. W boju Darnowski odniósł śmiertelną ranę i zmarł w szpitalu w Warszawie. Za czyn ten pośmiertnie odznaczony został Krzyżem Srebrnym Orderu "Virtuti Militari". Pochowany został na cmentarzu w Byszewie. Pośmiertnie awansowany na stopień kapitana.

Żonaty z Teofilą Sierakowską. Miał dzieci: Alfonsa, Irenę, Marię, Bernarda, Renatę i Bolesława.

Jan's Geo-Glow Site: Good grief, I Hate Fabric Softener - and most other "fragrances!"
Good grief, I Hate Fabric Softener - and most other "fragrances!"
Okay, this blog has gotten too tame of late, so I'm going to spice things up with a rant! I only need to go back in time to yesterday afternoon, which I spent at home, making more notebooks for the upcoming fall craft fairs. And which all of my "neighbors" spent doing their laundry. How could I tell, and why do I put "neighbors" in quotes?
BECAUSE I COULD SMELL THEIR STINKING LAUNDRY PRODUCTS, COMING IN THROUGH MY A/C VENTS!!!!! That's why. Oh yes, and when I stepped outside for a moment on that beautiful late-summer afternoon, I was overwhelmed by the gaggingly-sickening stink of fabric softener (springtime fresh??? It smells like rotting fruit, to me :P) pervading what I thought was going to be fresh air!
This is particularly important to me, because I strive to keep my home and work space as fragrance-free as possible. (And btw, the safe alternative to fabric softener is a couple of tablespoons of baking soda in your wash water. And don't overdry your clothes. That's it. Duh.) This is important not only for my own health, but also that of my clients. I do readings and bodywork with a lot sensitive people. Yet time and again, I've had new clients show up with clothes reeking of all the toxins our chemical corporations want us to think make our lives better. I have to steel myself for an hour of fighting headaches and nausea while working with them - then massive airing of my treatment space to get it clean for the next client. I've got to remember to say "fragrance-free" in my promotional materials!
I recognize that there are some legitimate uses of fragrance in aromatherapy - but I've also encountered some so-called "aromatherapy" products that are instant-migraine-headache in a bottle. Look, if you still think you want to smell up everything you touch, I hate you. This is not just your business. Your laundry products, perfumes, air "fresheners" (call them "poisoners" and you'd be more accurate) are killing us all. The biggest risks associated with these chemicals are cancer and hormonal disruptions. Auto-immune disease is also a likely result. I've lived with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome since I was 18, so I know a thing or two about that. It affects our environment as well as our well-being - we're seeing effects on animal populations from the hormonal-disruptor actions of these chemicals. And you're lining the pockets of corporations who couldn't give a rat's patootie about your well-being or that of the planet. It just makes me want to weep, when I see otherwise-aware folks buying into this advertising nonsense about "fragrance," while buying poison that harms us all!
Save my sanity. Save money. Save your health and that of your family. Save the planet. Lose the so-called "fragrance!"
Ok, I had to laugh.
I use fabric softner sheets. Lavender scented. The cheapest ones and if you sniff, really hard, when the box is first opened...maybe you can smell the lavender. I also use cheap detergent because I don't want to smell the soap all day.
But I did learn something I consider useful about fabric softner sheets. They serve the same purpose as moth balls. I can tolerate fabric softner sheets a lot better than moth balls! Just throw them in your sweaters when you store them for the summer months.
Cologne...I have been around people that made me ill from their cologne. I completely unserstand that!
@ Tara, I can see you know what I'm talking about - hope your son gets better.
@ Christie, oh my dear, I'm so glad you don't live close to me, because I'd really hate to smell your laundry :) And did you ever think that, if the moths won't go near your fabric softener, maybe there's something in it that you should stay away from, too?
Don't forget to comment on other Etsians' blogs!
Oh, dear, I can't leave the house without perfume, but I never overspray. Can we still be friends? I'll stand six feet away, downwind.
Interesting comments - and it reminds me of the battle over second-hand cigarette smoke. You either get it or you don't!
@ MAB ~ glad you don't overspray, and I hope you use the more natural, non-toxic fragrances - although I don't think any of them are 100% safe. Because this is not just about you or me - it's about the planet!
Synthetic fragranced product using people are the most inconsiderate morons. I would rather smell dog s*&t than your fabric softener odor. At least dog s*&t odor wont give me cancer, brain damage, or a host of other problems! Don't even get me started on how you pollute the air of everyone in your neighborhood by just doing the mundane task of laundry. Get a clue.
Very nicely put and I agree whole heartedly. I'm afraid I'm quite blatant about how I feel about scents be they perfume or otherwise. I've been known to ask a hotel to change the linens to something that wasn't bathed in scent. It is instant headache for me. I have an interesting dilemma though. My mother-in-law passed away a couple of years ago and I came into possession of a few of her recipe books which I treasure. However, she kept her recipe books in the same cabinet as her laundry supplies. You got it - the books reek! They've been away from the scented environment now for two years plus but the smell has not diminished. If I can't get the smell out the books have to go and I'd hate to do that. Anyone have any idea how to remove the odor from books?
