This matter is pending before the Court on the defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment. Defendant contends pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 7056 that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that he is entitled to judgment as a matter of law that the plaintiff's claim should be dismissed and that he should be awarded costs and attorney's fees expended. The issue to be resolved herein is whether a debt owed to the plaintiff by the defendant is non-dischargeable pursuant to 11 U.S.C. '523(a)(6). This Court has jurisdiction of this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. '1334; it is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. '157(b)(2)(I).
According to the Complaint filed by the plaintiff herein on May 18, 1990, he obtained an Agreed Judgment against the defendant on August 30, 1989, in the amount of $4,688.00 as a result of his having been involved in an accident in which plaintiff alleged that defendant had negligently caused him damage. The defendant admitted the allegations of the complaint therein and the Agreed Judgment was entered. The defendant was not carrying automobile insurance at the time of the accident. The defendant filed his bankruptcy petition in this Court on February 5, 1990.
In his Complaint in this proceeding, plaintiff argues that the defendant's failure to maintain insurance, in violation of KRS Chapter 187, was the "proximate cause" of the injury to the plaintiff, and as such constitutes a willful and malicious injury to the person of the plaintiff, thereby precluding discharge of the debt. It is the opinion of this Court that there is no support for the plaintiff's contention in either logic or law. It was not the defendant's failure to maintain insurance that caused the damage to the plaintiff's vehicle, the damage for which he obtained the Agreed Judgment, but the defendant's conduct in driving his own vehicle. That conduct resulted in the accident that caused the damage. To agree that the failure to maintain insurance was the "proximate cause" of the injury to the plaintiff requires a leap across the chasm of reason which this Court is not prepared to make.
In addition to its conceptual difficulty in applying the plaintiff's theory of the case, the Court also finds no support for it in the cases he cites. In re Smith, Bankrupt, 161 F. Supp. 896 (WDNY 1956) involved driving under the influence of alcohol. Such conduct may be, and often is, the cause of injury to parties involved in vehicular accidents. The other two cases, Carroll v. Jones, 141 N.E.2d 239 (Common Pleas Ohio, 1956) and Greene v. Lane, 87 F.2d 951 (7th Cir. 1937) deal with willful and malicious misconduct, but the plaintiff does not represent that these cases identify the "willful and malicious misconduct" as failure to maintain insurance. In addition, the Court's own research has revealed nothing in case law that would support the premise that failure to maintain insurance constitutes a "willful and malicious injury" for the purpose of applying '523(a)(6).
In conclusion, it is the opinion of this Court that the defendant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law and that his Motion for Summary Judgment as to dismissal of the plaintiff's Complaint with prejudice should therefore be SUSTAINED. That part of the defendant's Motion which seeks attorney's fees and costs should be OVERRULED.


Blade Runner 2049 is in theaters now and actress Ana de Armas, who played Joi, is getting plenty of attention and critical praise for her role. Born in Cuba, the 29-year-old actress was raised in Havana where she attended acting school. At the age of 18, she moved to Spain and continued her budding acting career. You might remember Ana from her role as Bell in the movie Knock Knock where she starred alongside Keanu Reeves.
Ana de Armas will next appear in the 2018 movie Three Seconds where she plays the role of Sofia Hoffman. The movie is currently in production and filming is taking place.
Ana will star in the film with Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl), Joel Kinnaman (The Killing, Suicide Squad) and Clive Owen (Children of Men).
Ana began her movie career in Havana, appearing in the film Virgin Rose. Following her move to Spain, she starred in more movies and picked up television work. It wasn't until she appeared in the movie Hands of Stone, that she became an international success with movies that appealed to U.S. audiences.
In 2016, Ana de Armas appeared in Hands of Stone, War Dogs, and Exposed. Overdrive and Blade Runner 2049 followed in 2017. Currently, Three Seconds is the only movie Ana de Armas has set for a 2018 release.
Considering that Ana de Armas moved to Los Angeles from Spain in 2014, and has appeared in multiple, successful movies, it is apparent that she is on the track to achieving even greater things.
Many are calling Ana de Armas a breakout star due to her role in Blade Runner 2049, but since she has been working as an actress since her teen years, she might challenge that title.
Ana de Armas has enjoyed a successful acting career in Spain and is only becoming widely recognized in the United States now.
It is possible that she will enjoy a career as successful as Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem, and Antonio Banderas who all got their start in Spain, before becoming American movie stars.
Did you see Blade Runner 2049 this weekend? What did you think about the movie? How did you feel about Ana de Armas' character Joi? Have you seen her in other movies?
Saw the movie, as a sci-fi fan pretty good movie. Ana de Armas easily stood out among the best actors in the movie.

While the incidence of hip fracture appears to have declined overall since the mid 1990s, as discussed in a previous section, hospital discharges from the MEPS database related to osteoporosis were 44% greater in 2009 to 2011 than they were in the years from 1996 to 1998. Recent years, however, have shown a decline after peaking in 2001 to 2003. (Reference Table 10.2 PDF CSV) This increase in hospitalizations likely reflects the increase in older population cohorts as the Boomer generation enters the prime years for fracture incidence.
In a study among Medicare beneficiaries, the 65 years and older population, experiencing hip fractures in the years 2000 to 2004, 98.2% were hospitalized in the six months following the fracture compared to 27.1% hospitalized at least once in the prior six months for other reasons.1 Thus, hip fractures were associated with a 71% increase in the probability of being hospitalized. The average length of stay for hip and upper leg (femur) fractures was more than 11 days. (Reference Tables 5.3 PDF CSV and 5.4 PDF CSV)
Using recent 2011 data from the NIS hospital discharge database, an average hospital stay of 5.5 days was reported for people age 50 years and older with a primary (first) diagnosis of fragility fracture. While it might be assumed the inclusion of younger-age patients could account for this difference from the earlier study, age was not a factor in length of stay. Sex was a more significant factor, with males staying nearly a day longer than females. With the exception of wrist and arm fractures, site of the fracture was also not a factor. (Reference Table 5.5 PDF CSV)

A beautiful picture. I must admit, however, I will not be sad when winter is gone and the warming sun of spring shines down, bringing spring flowers and green growth. I am tired of winter's cold.
I, too, am ready for warm spring sunshine and time outdoors again. However, I do love living in an area where we experience all four seasons and the beauty of each one.


Adding a new member to your family is a joyful occasion. But this happy event also brings with it the responsibility of providing for your child's future.
From baby carriages to college, you want to ensure your children have the best in life, even if you're not there anymore. If you were to pass away suddenly, how would your family cope with the expenses?
It costs on average over $243,660 to raise and educate a child from birth to 18 years old.1 Add to that the cost of a college or university education and the need for insurance protection is pretty clear.
With the added expenses of a new child, you might be saying to yourselves, "We can't afford life insurance right now." But you owe it to your family to find out just how affordable coverage can be.
"This gives life a whole new meaning"

The men have been charged with an offence under Vagrancy Act 1824 s 4, namely that they were found in an area, Iceland, for an unlawful purpose, stealing food. In fact, it is said that they were taking food items out of a skip, prior to them presumably being thrown away.
The Guardian has a report of the story here, which is worth a read.
UPDATE: There is a press release from Iceland which makes clear they did not call the police and are seeking clarification as to why the CPS believe it to be in the public interest to prosecute.
UPDATE 2: The CPS have confirmed they have dropped the prosecution. See the press statement for details.
There are a number of issues here, which have been discussed in case law, some of it, recent. These include what does 'found' mean, what does 'unlawful purpose' mean and when does the unlawful purpose need to exist.
One interesting point that appears to arise from the Smith case is that the unlawful purpose must be criminal, and not merely a wrongful act such as a tort (e.g. trespass). So consider the situation where the unlawful (criminal) purpose is said to be theft.
Does that then require an evaluation of the offence of theft?
Theft Act 1968 s 1 defines theft as 'dishonestly appropriating property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it'. Section 7 sets out the maximum sentence of 7 years for a person convicted of theft.
Sections 2 to 6 define the elements of the offence. All five elements must be proven in order for the offence to be 'made out'. The only one we are really concerned with is the first.
(c) in the belief that the person to whom the property belongs cannot be discovered by taking reasonable steps.
So there would be problems showing that the 'thief' did not believe that they had the consent of either the council responsible for emptying the bin or the supermarket who placed the property into the bin.
So if it cannot be shown that the individuals were in the area specified with the intention of committing a theft (because they believed they had the consent of the owner) then it would appear that they are not guilty of an offence at all.
The Full Code Test, emlployed by the CPS when deciding whether to charge someone is as follows.
The public interest stage: In every case where there is sufficient evidence to justify a prosecution, prosecutors must go on to consider whether a prosecution is required in the public interest.
Perhaps it is necessary to add a third limb to this test – the idiot test: 'could someone legitimately call me an idiot for pursuing this prosecution?' It might save a few quid (and keep the naked rambler out of jail too).

Quinoa is not a grain. How do we know this? Because even the Ashkiest families like the Kaufmans are totally able to eat it on Pesach. Quinoa became super trendy several years back when we realized that it was versatile enough to be a hearty side dish or totally capable rice substitute in sushi. Its unique texture, low-maintenance cooking process and high protein content has helped it become a trendy rice replacement at Shabbat meals. Now you don't need a Shabbat or Yom Tov meal or even a kitchen to make your favorite member of the chenopodioideae family in your dorm room.

Belle Gibson lied about everything
Belle Gibson has been a prominent figure in the alternative health world for some time now. Ms Gibson's big claim to fame has been that she miraculously cured her terminal brain cancer just by eating healthy food. Not only did she claim that she cured her own cancer, she also suggested that other cancer patients would benefit from following her healthy lifestyle and profited from selling a cook book and app on the subject.
And it was all bullshit.
Wikipedia sums the scenario up nicely:
In early 2015, emerging media scrutiny revealed that Gibson's cancer claims appeared to have been fabricated, that she had lied about her age and other details of her personal life and history, and had used company and charity campaign funds to lead a profligate and affluent lifestyle. There are claims she rented an expensive town house, leased an office suite and luxury car, underwent cosmetic dental procedures, and holidayed internationally from the proceeds of money purportedly raised for charity.
After a month of intense media scrutiny of her story, in an April 2015 interview Gibson admitted that her cancer claims had been totally fabricated, stating "none of it's true".
Gibson's actions have been described as "deceit on a grand scale, for personal profit".
It's estimated that the book and app had raised over $1,000,000 and Gibson herself has claimed that she had "countless times helped others" to treat their cancers "naturally" and "leading them down natural therapy for everything from fertility, depression, bone damage and other types of cancer".
Do you realise what that means? She lied to cancer patients to profit from their hopelessness and actively lead them away from the only treatments that are medically proven to help them survive.
And she didn't even follow the bullshit she was spouting about keeping toxins out of your body
In addition to this, it is alleged that Gibson raised a lot of money in the name of 5 different charities but either didn't use the money for the charitable work she had claimed she would and/or massively exaggerated how much of the money she did end up going to charity.
Gibson actively encouraged things such as not vaccinating children, consuming raw, non-pasteurised milk, and Gerson Therapy.
When it became clear that people were going to find out that Gibson had never had cancer at all, let alone the multiple cancers she had claimed, she started deleting any posts relating to that topic from her social media platforms. In many cases, she went further and deleted the accounts completely.
Gibson has finally bitten the bullet and conceded that everything that she'd said to help her become famous was fabricated. She had lied her way into the hearts of those millions of people who are suffering with medical conditions that modern medicine doesn't have pleasant solutions for, and then she used those lies to take their money.
You don't have to be a shrink to suspect Ms Gibson is an out and out crazy bitch, now do you?
Of course there's been complete uproar since the truth has come to light. And Ms Gibson's response is has been to say:
"In the last two years I have worked every single day living and raising up an online community of people who supported each other… I understand the confusion and the suspicion, but I also know that people need to draw a line in the sand where they still treat someone with some level of respect or humility – and I have not been receiving that."
"I just think [speaking out] was the responsible thing to do. Above anything, I would like people to say, 'Okay, she's human. She's obviously had a big life. She's respectfully come to the table and said what she's needed to say, and now it's time for her to grow and heal.'"
Of all the shit Ms Gibson has said and done, to me, it's these quotes which are the most telling of just how far from normal her line of thinking is. You don't get to build an empire on lies while you take money from hopeless, suffering people in return for offering them fairytales and good vibes and then get to expect anyone to feel sorry for you or be understanding of your plight.
What the fuck sort of thinking is that? If you actively and knowingly deceive people, you don't get to be treated with dignity when they find out. No, you should count yourself lucky that some poor cancer patient who wasted time on your lies doesn't hunt you down and end you! For fuck sake! Who the hell could do this and still expect "some level of respect or humility"? That's the statement right there that just proves there's something very, very wrong with Belle Gibson.
There are a lot of angry people out there who are definitely not saying "Okay, she's human." Instead, they're calling her a monster, and I'd be hard pressed to disagree.
So, as far as the crazy bitch ranks go, Belle Gibson is sitting very, very high up. She may even be the craziest bitch I've ever heard of.
Crazy bitch tip: do not mislead millions of people into thinking that eating well and exercising are enough to fight cancer.

There are books that dance on the dividing line between straightforward narrative and bizarre realm where chaotic language and raw poetry push at the edges of meaning in order to produce a beautiful reading experience. Corey Zeller's You and Other Pieces belongs to this strange category. A dynamic and somewhat experimental hybrid that's part prose, part poetry, and part something special only Zeller does, this collection is at once lugubrious and full of magic.
You and Other Pieces belongs to the surreal realm of poetry in the sense that the words it contains seem to have forgotten the meaning of time and exist in the interstitial spaces between memory and now, the personal and the communal, real and fantastic. What Zeller offers here is proof that prose poetry can be a wonderful tool for exploring new spaces when it comes from the sharp mind of a writer who's not afraid to bleed on the page and to make readers bleed in the process.
The "pieces" inside this book are pieces of thoughts, pieces of lives, pieces of stories. They are fragments of many things that come together to be presented in new ways, to be made ours instead of only Zeller's. While the language is something constantly shifts, there are plenty of grounded narratives, and they are as great as the poetic bits that reside at the edges of surrealism because the author's style bathes them in the same light. Take, for example, the opening of Criminals.
Those criminals thwarted and left for dead in every action movie for the past thirty years. I'm sure at least a dozen survived the slaughters. This one who quit working for Colombian drug smugglers is now an insurance salesman who makes kids say the Pledge of Allegiance every morning. Or this one, with a trachea, in some VA Memorial Hospital in New Jersey. he sits by the window in his wheelchair holding the wooden figurines of animals he made in a whittling class.
The seventh house is aware of itself and therefore hates itself. It feels the little boy inside it move things, run, spill spice on to the floor. Everything is replaced in it: win- dows, candles, appliances, floors. The boy becomes a man inside the house and then becomes a ruined thing. He holds a knife against his throat in a mirror and cuts and cuts. The mirror becomes a kind of red sky, another house, walls the boy can live inside. The house loses the boy. The boy was a red dream the house had. The boy was a red bridge with two ends and the feeling you were waving your hands at every edge trying your best not to fall. The house coughs the boy's blood and swallows it through each mirror. It hates itself more and more, drop by drop by drop.
There are books that linger in the brain long after the last page has been turned, and You and Other Pieces does just that. However, unlike most books, it's hard to pinpoint exactly why this bizarre, dark collection is memorable. The unique use of language and the unexpected changes in tone, subject matter, and atmosphere surely have something to to do with it, but there's more to it than that, and that something has to be experienced in order to be fully understood.

The ancient art of Yogic practice is one that has sustained and, in recent times, revived itself to become a large part of modern culture and people's daily lives. While the experience of Yoga is physical, in many ways, it is mental too. For Yoga enthusiasts, there is nothing more calming and memorable than a Yoga session in the lush green gardens of Agra, merely 150 metres away from the Taj Mahal. Learn or enhance your Yoga techniques from an accomplished teacher, and experience the physical and therapeutic benefits of this ancient Indian practice without the experience of which, your trip will remain incomplete. The session will include warm-up and stretching exercises followed by Yoga asanas, pranayam (breathing exercises) and meditation. We recommend sunrise as an ideal time for this session though timings can be arranged as per your requirement as well.


Alright, this one might remind you of grade-school days and soggy bowls of cereal, but don't dismiss it now that you're all grown up. Instead, use your new maturity—and culinary skills—to add a bit of sophistication to this classic treat. If you can enlist your mom or someone else who lives with him to help you out, you can have your accomplice keep him in bed (and away from the kitchen) until you arrive; if not, just give him a call the night before and tell him to expect you the next morning, and to be hungry. If he's got a sweet tooth, these protein-packed coconut pancakes are sure to please, and if you want to go savory, these zucchini pancakes with poached eggs are a tasty way to sneak Dad some veggies.
One of the best ways to make Dad instantly feel like you're on vacation is to spend time near a body of water. If you live in a coastal state, take Dad on a trip to the beach; if you're by a lake, rent a kayak or paddle boat and head out into the open water; if a river is nearby, pack a picnic (don't forget your cooler essentials!), rent a canoe, and float leisurely down with the current. Just make sure that you take on the brunt of the rowing—remember, this is Dad's day to relax.
With the nonstop daily grind, it's likely that your Dad hasn't taken time recently to explore the cultural offerings of his town or city. Use this day as an excuse to show him around his own home and help him find renewed appreciation for where he lives. Do a little research to find something fun and interesting nearby, and buy tickets ahead of time. Even if he doesn't live near a major city, there's bound to be something worth checking out—a local museum, art galleries, a community theater production, an outdoor park, a historical landmark. Take into account your dad's own unique personality when you make your choice.
Spend the morning stocking up on all of Dad's favorite barbecue staples—is he a carnivore or a vegetarian? A burger man or steak guy? Does he have a favorite beer? A favorite dessert?—and invite him over for an afternoon or early evening get-together. Be sure to invite friends and family members who you know he'll be excited to see. Keep it simple with traditional grilled veggies and meat, or get fancy with these delicious kimchi turkey burgers—it all depends on your dad's tastes. Tell Dad that he's allowed to tend the grill if he likes, but all cleanup and preparation are your domain.
No matter where your dad lives, chances are there's some beautiful nature nearby, even if you need to drive for a bit. Do some research to find a local wildlife preserve, mountain, or nature trails, and plan a hike for the two of you. You'll both get to enjoy the calming beauty of nature, as well as have some serious quality time to reconnect and catch up. Be sure to pack some healthy portable snacks—don't let Dad go hungry on his special day!
Do you have other suggestions for special ways to spend this Father's Day with your dad? Share them with us in the comments below!

EVER! It must be exhausting having choosing to live this way. And the numerous mentions of von Trapp to remind us of his relation.
On July 23, 2014, they arrived at the garden carrying a picnic basket and "Something Fresh," a novel by Wodehouse which he read aloud to her under a willow tree. "It was the best first date ever," she said.
I want to copy/paste the whole thing but it is loooong.


Mother's Day is now officially less than a week away. In the midst of preparing gifts that will make your mom, grandmother or other mother figure in your life feel special and appreciated, I find myself thinking about my own mother.
Mothers and grandmothers, aunts and mothers-in-law are infinitely influential in our lives. From my mom, I learned how to care for other people. The creativity involved in preparing Stella Leona chocolates comes in part from my mom who has spent many hours of her life painting and creating quilts.
My mom put up with me when was a difficult kid and loves me in spite of my faults, and believe me, she KNOWS what they are. Thanks Mom!!! I love you!
I was also forever changed by the investment my grandmother, Leona and her sister, my great aunt Estella made in my life. I learned from them the joy that exceptional food can bring to people we love. I saw living examples of what it means to work hard and invest in the lives of other people.
This Mother's Day, take a few moments to express appreciation to your mom for the way she has loved you. If you are missing your mom this Mother's Day, remember what you love most about her and find a way to pay it forward to someone, anyone else you think needs to experience what you felt from your mom.
Of course, if a chocolate expression of your appreciation is in order, stop by our shop in Pettisville or our web site. Happy Mother's Day!!!
Nancy, This post prompts me to think of my mom, too, and how she has a profound influence in my life even today. Her example of faith, her care for others, her attention to detail, and her list-making skills, among many other gifts, have contributed to whatever I have undertaken. I am grateful for her! I think I will call and order a special creation for her from your lovely shop for Mother's Day!
Thanks Renee! I hope your mom loved her chocolates!

Leon Malhomme de la Roche (ur. 4 stycznia 1881 w Petersburgu, zm. wiosną 1940 w Katyniu) – polski urzędnik konsularny, dyplomata i polityk okresu międzywojennego.

Życiorys
Pochodził z rodziny polskich zesłańców, wcześniej arystokratycznej francuskiej rodziny Malhomme de la Roche, która pod koniec XVIII w. osiadła w Rzeczypospolitej. Syn Mikołaja i Julii z Orłowskich. Brat Henryka Malhomme. Ukończył gimnazjum w Petersburgu, po czym studiował na uniwersytetach w Petersburgu i Dorpacie. Był członkiem Konwentu Polonia. Po uzyskaniu przez Polskę niepodległości w listopadzie 1918 sprawował funkcje w departamencie konsularnym MSZ (1918–1928), m.in. nacz. wydziału administracyjno-paszportowego (1927). W latach 1922–1928 był stałym delegatem na konferencję międzynarodową poświęconą uchodźcom z Rosji. W 1925 stanął na czele polskiej delegacji w komisji mieszanej ds. likwidacji zatargów granicznych z ZSRR. W 1928 objął placówkę konsularną w Bytomiu, zostając zastępcą konsula generalnego/p.o. kier. urzędu a od 1929 konsulem generalnym. Po przeniesieniu konsulatu do Opola w lipcu 1931 kontynuował swą pracę w stolicy niemieckiej części Górnego Śląska. 1 stycznia 1933 objął funkcję radcy ambasady polskiej w Paryżu ds. wychodźstwa. 1 lutego 1934 stanął na czele placówki konsularnej w Morawskiej Ostrawie jako konsul generalny, zastępując w tej funkcji Karola Ripę. Zasłynął jako osoba organizująca opozycję wobec państwa czechosłowackiego wśród mniejszości polskiej na Śląsku Cieszyńskim i Opawskim (m.in. w kontekście obchodów 15. rocznicy zajęcia Śląska przez wojska czeskie). Na skutek żądań czeskich został wydalony z placówki. 16 maja 1935 objął urząd wicewojewody śląskiego, który sprawował do wybuchu II wojny światowej.

W październiku 1938 sprawował władzę cywilną (urząd Delegata Wojewody Śląskiego przy Dowództwie Samodzielnej Grupy Operacyjnej "Śląsk") na Śląsku Cieszyńskim w okresie po jego zajęciu przez wojsko polskie, a przed jego formalną inkorporacją do Polski. Wydawał rozporządzenia publikowane w osobnym Dzienniku Urzędowym.

DA requests update on the Bushiris' extradition
The DA has released a statement confirming that it has written to the Home Affairs Committee to request a meeting and update from those involved in the extradition proceedings of the Bushiris.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) took to Twitter on Sunday, 22 November 2020, to circulate a statement confirming that it has requested an update on the extradition of self-proclaimed prophet, Shepherd Bushiri, and his wife, Mary Bushiri. The party wrote the request to the Chairperson of the Home Affairs Committee, Bongani Bongo. The statement touched on the contentious matter that has put Minister Naledi Pandor front and centre of the ongoing saga.
The statement read, "The Sunday Independent today reported that the Bushiris had help from both the Malawian and South African Governments to escape South Africa, in a plot that involved them being issued with diplomatic passports bearing fake names and disguises before allegedly being spirited away on the Malawian President Lazarus Chakwera's hired jet. In light of these allegations, it is imperative that the CCTV footage from the Waterkloof Air Force Base be made available to the investigation and the committee."
This is the same matter that Pandor has allegedly vehemently denied and threatened legal action against the publication. It is unclear whether the request will be met, as the state has continued to maintain its silence on the matter.
See the post below.
We've requested a meeting to obtain feedback on the progress govt. has made on extradition proceedings involving the Bushiri's. The seriousness of this situation cannot be overlooked – this is not the first time an incident like this has happened.https://t.co/O8Qcv7eWqu

NAACPs want Bridgeport police chief's handling of racist texts reviewed

Bridgeport Police Chief Armando Perez.
BRIDGEPORT — The state and local NAACPs and a prominent Bridgeport religious leader want City Hall to scrutinize Chief Armando Perez's handling of racist texts allegedly sent by his former aide Capt. Mark Straubel.
Straubel is white, and the texts denigrated blacks, including Police Captain Roderick Porter.
Hearst Connecticut Media last week reported that at least a month passed between when the chief initially learned of the texts in mid-to-late June, 2018 and when a formal investigation was launched and Straubel placed on leave in late July.
"This is a very serious matter and can't be taken lightly," said Scot Esdaile, president of the Connecticut NAACP. "Seems like it's open season on black people and no accountability."
Cass Shaw, head of the Council of Churches of Greater Bridgeport, said, "We deserve a chief and a department which is actively confronting any and all forms of racism."
"This is not the first time that a response by ... Chief Perez appears too little in quality and too late in time to provide a secure sense to the community and command respect," said a statement released by the Greater Bridgeport NAACP.
But Mayor Joe Ganim's office on Friday said an independent consultant hired this spring to improve department operations — former Philadelphia Police Commissioner and ex-Washington, D.C., Police Chief Charles Ramsey — recently concluded Perez acted appropriately.
Hearst, through the Freedom of Information Act, obtained the Office of Internal Affairs' file on the Straubel case that provided new details on the timeline.
Straubel retired last Aug. 17 before being interviewed by OIA investigators. Their probe was then shut down, per, the city claims, federal requirements, because Straubel ended his employment with the department.
Hearst initially filed its Freedom of Information request last September, when Perez, then acting top cop, was competing for a five-year contract with other candidates, including Porter. The documents were only released to Hearst last month.
Ganim made Perez, a long-time friend and political ally, permanent chief in November.
The OIA documents also revealed that Perez, after being alerted to the texts by Stratford Police Officer Ken Kubel in a phone call, informed Kubel's boss, Stratford Police Chief Joseph McNeil, about their conversation.
Kubel, a retired Bridgeport cop, in the transcript of his interview with OIA investigators, said he did not believe Perez was acting maliciously. But Kubel also said, "I think he reached out to my chief because I was probably causing problems here in the Bridgeport Police Department."
"At the time many people, including me, were angry that Captain Straubel was allowed to retire," said Shaw. "Knowing now that it took a month for Chief Perez to take any action at all, and that his initial response was to let things slide, shows a blatant disregard for the black officers in the department and all the citizens of Bridgeport."
Racist texts
Hearst last summer obtained screenshots of Straubel's alleged texts, sent to the personal phone of a civilian who worked for him and for Perez. Multiple sources have identified that individual as Kubel's wife, though her identity was redacted from the OIA case file.
In one text, Straubel allegedly recalled asking Porter "if he had seen (the film) 'Planet of the Apes.' He said, 'Yes.' I asked him if it made him homesick."
In another message, Straubel allegedly stated that African Americans were a "cancer" and he hoped for a race war.
Straubel also allegedly complained about having to march in an unnamed parade that involved mostly black people, and used a racist term to describe the event.
After phoning Perez in June, Kubel filed a formal complaint against Straubel with OIA on July 26. Only Kubel and the civilian employee were interviewed by OIA staff before Straubel retired and the case was closed.
Ganim's office, in a statement for Hearst's story last week on the OIA documents, said that Perez, having been told about but not shown the texts by Kubel, "questioned multiple individuals" to obtain evidence. Those individuals included Straubel and Stratford's McNeil.
According to the city, "No text messages had been produced."
"He asked me if I had any proof and I said 'no," Kubel admitted to OIA staff, who wanted to know, "Did (Perez) ask you to bring anything in or did he say, 'I want to see them (the texts)' or 'Can you provide me with anything?' "
"He didn't. He didn't ask me," Kubel said, recalling Perez added, "It may be time to look into 'cleaning house.'"
According to the OIA documents, Kubel also spoke with Porter, who then emailed Perez, Deputy Chief Anthony Armeno and a police lieutenant assigned to the Office of Internal Affairs on June 29.
As for why Perez reached out to McNeil, Ganim's office had previously told Hearst, "Chief Perez also had, and related, concerns about possible repercussions which could result from the underlying personal matter involving police officers of two different departments. These concerns were for the physical safety and mental well-being of those officers and their families."
Responses to the investigation
Porter has since filed a complaint with the state Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities, arguing the city did not properly investigate the Straubel controversy. His attorney, Tom Bucci, has told Hearst "(Perez) instead of immediately initiating an investigation attempted to conceal Straubel's culpability."
Ganim's head of communications, Rowena White, on Friday said the mayor reviewed the OIA report "and was outraged by the racist remarks exhibited within the text messages of Captain Straubel."
"This report was also forwarded to Chief Ramsey for his evaluation and advisement," White said. "He indicated that upon his review of the timeline ... and discussions with Chief Perez, that the actions taken were satisfactory and appropriate."
Esdaile said the city's Police Commission, volunteers appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the City Council, also need to look further into Perez's actions.
"That's where the checks-and-balances are," Esdaile said. "The commission is supposed to be the entity that holds the chief accountable to the people."
Daniel Roach, long-time chairman of the police commission, in a brief interview Friday said, "I intend to have a discussion with the other commissioners." Roach is also a friend of Ganim's and his former campaign manager, and has a mayoral-appointed job in City Hall.
Bridgeport's NAACP said the city also needs to revisit the policy that ended the investigation of the racist texts once Straubel retired. White said that is already being done, but emphasized the policy is based on federal law.
"Chief Ramsey commented about the inability to continue and conclude the investigation," White said. "Had OIA been able to complete the investigation, there more than likely would have been a more satisfactory conclusion. Mayor Ganim brought this issue to the attention of the city attorneys, who are looking to change this."

Let your home reflect your character, nurture your soul and inspire everyone who enters.
I believe every home should be a reflection of the people who inhabit it. As a designer I strive to create a design that is as unique as the client I am designing it for. I believe that good design should be attainable even with the most humble of budgets. Design is something we all need, we're just not all aware of it. A well designed space should invite, entice, and invigorate. As you move from room to room, space to space, building to building, take note of how the different rooms make you feel. Do you want to sit and stay a while, or are you looking for the closest exit? Does your bedroom feel cozy and relaxing? Does your kitchen cause cravings? Does your living room welcome your guests or tell them you're ready for them to leave? Consider all of these things when deciding whether or not you are in need of a designer.

Stories from the Helpline
Filed By Guest Blogger | August 31, 2008 3:00 PM | comments
Follow bilericoproject
Tags: LGBT youth, LGBTQ, suicide, teens, Trevor Project
Editor's Note: "Stories from the Helpline" is a recurring feature on The Bilerico Project, bringing in the personal accounts of Helpline counselors from The Trevor Project. The Trevor Project is a non-profit organization that operates the only nationwide, around-the-clock crisis and suicide prevention helpline for LGBTQ youth. This installment comes Michael Vacha Jr. is the west coast call center manager at The Trevor Project and a graduate of the University of Southern California (USC). He is also a volunteer Helpline counselor at The Randy Stone West Coast Call Center in Los Angeles.
Every day, my e-mail inbox is flooded with letters from young people. They're crying out for help: they're alone, hopeless, and questioning their sexuality. They turn to "Dear Trevor" and The Trevor Helpline because they don't have anyone else. From my point of view, even as a social worker, it seems so implausible that nobody in their lives has ever said, "it's okay, you're not a freak, and you're not alone." So many of these young people are heartbroken; unsupported by their loved ones. However, so many of these young people are also incredibly brave in the face of abandonment.
This was the case when I took a call from a young person named Heather. She was not suicidal, however, the first thing I heard on the line was sobbing. The pain in her voice was profound. Heather reached out to us because she didn't have anyone else to turn to. Hearing the anguish in her voice, I wished I could reach through the phone and literally hold her in my arms. But because I couldn't actually do that, I did the next best thing. I listened to her story without judgment.
Heather told me that her mother had recently found out that she was dating a girl named Jessica. Immediately, her mother attempted to punish her for this behavior. She took Heather out of all extra-curricular programs at school; she had no cell phone and was grounded. Heather's parents are very strict Jehovah's Witness believers, and thus they sent her to a religious counselor. Heather told me that she had to make up a lie. "It was just something I tried," she told them. She did this out of fear of losing any semblance of a normal life. Her family is from Mexico and her parents repeatedly threatened to send her there if she continued to see her girlfriend. As Heather told me this, she emoted softly and said, "I don't want to go to Mexico. My life is here; this is everything I know."
Despite being so terrified of having her life completely uprooted, Heather didn't want to change. She told me about Jessica and how their relationship made her so happy. It was clear that she wanted so desperately to please her parents and be true to herself at the same time. Yet no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't stop seeing Jessica. And that was the final straw. When her mother found out, Heather was pulled out of school all together and put on independent study. Since then her life has been unimaginably hopeless. Everything she knew and loved has been taken from her. The most tragic part of this story is that most of her friends and schoolmates were supportive of her sexual orientation. Her friends even knew about her relationship and they were all generally encouraging. She even had supportive teachers at school. How amazing! This young girl had such a great support system, but now it's all gone. She said: "Now that I'm home schooled, I've all but lost touch with the outside world."
There is one exception, however. Heather still tries to see Jessica whenever she has a free moment. Unfortunately this isn't very often. She only sees Jessica when her mother isn't home and they usually only have the opportunity to hang out for a half an hour at most.
At the end of the call, Heather was seriously considering running away and trying to start a life for herself. She has tried to apply for jobs, but she is too young. At her request, I provided information on a homeless and runaway shelter in her area. I sincerely hope that she didn't end up running away and I hope that wherever she is now, she is safe.
I can't really say that I've ever felt so unsafe as a child that I really wanted to run away. I also can't say that I had a difficult or tough experience coming out. Sure it wasn't easy, but I've had the most incredibly supportive family, and even during my darkest moments as a teenager, I never felt alone. However, this isn't the case for most of the young people who access our services. As social workers, we're taught to separate ourselves: to provide empathy for our clients without taking on their emotions. I understand and agree with this, but sometimes compliance is an insurmountable feat. When a person is given the opportunity to connect with another person on such an intense level, they are going to be affected. I was definitely affected by this caller.
Hers is a story like so many others. And after taking so many calls, it's impossible to remember every story, but for some reason, I will never forget her. During that call I glimpsed into the life of a truly brave person. At the end of the call I made sure to commend her bravery. I admire Heather. Even though she seemed hopeless, not all hope was lost. She was relieved that someone took the time to listen to her story and she thanked me. The brightest glimmer of hope came from her own strength, before hanging up she said something that I will always remember: "If you would have asked me three months ago, I would have told you I wanted to change to make this all go away, but I don't want to change now. I want to be with Jessica."
I think we all have so much to learn from young people. This is why I feel so privileged to be a part of The Trevor Helpline. I learn from strong and brave individuals everyday. If you're interested in learning more about our programs such as "Dear Trevor" or how to be a Helpline counselor, please visit our Web site at TheTrevorProject.org.

What is our vision of the Commons?
Everywhere in the world are invented and reinvented forms of solidarity and reciprocity, of property and collective governance that follow the pace of technological, demographical, ecological changes of globalization. Our research dynamic is concerned in analyzing and reinventing, including through the analysis table of Commons defined by E. Ostrom and developed under the association spectrum "one resource, on group of actors and one mode of governance".
A "Commons" claim is built on the legitimacy of the right of access to the goods and services or to their preservation, as means to satisfy equity goals and long term resources, involving cooperation and sharing. It may involve natural and immaterial resources (software, database, IT infrastructure). Free software and seeds, collective housing, co-working spaces…. are different ways of articulating innovative technologies and human needs that allow us to live together today and tomorrow.
These "Commons" strengths, marginalized by capitalism and subject of a grabing by the netarchical digital platforms, share values and methods with the Social and Solidary Economy (SSE) in order to build a more democratic and inclusive society.
Indeed, the SSE make the citizens involved in economic actions based on their involvement and their economic, social and cultural means that they put together, with juridical and institutional forms that make the originality of SSE companies, cooperatives, mutual and associations.

After SC's monumental decision, it's time to tackle society's prejudice
ET CONTRIBUTORS Last Updated: Sep 08, 2018, 11:00 PM IST
The language of the judgment is particularly encouraging in its understanding of the challenges faced by our community,
I would like society to see that we are as normal as any other part of life.
By Radhika Piramal
Very few LGBTQ Indians tell parents, colleagues and friends who we are and what we feel. We fear discrimination at work. We fear abuse from the state. We fear being ostracised by society. And worst of all, we fear our families will abandon us. My gay friends tell only a few other trusted friends. Many LGBTQ people don't have anyone to tell at all. Yet, it is almost impossible to find love without coming out.
I believe that two main fears hold back many LGBTQ people from coming out. First, the threat of persecution due to Section 377 and, second, the deep fear of social stigma and not being accepted by our family because of this stigma. Our families fear being cut out of their social lives because of their child. The first fear has been comprehensively addressed by the Indian judiciary. It is a monumental decision. It took courage for the judiciary to make the right moral judgment despite society's wrong prejudice.
Now is the time to tackle society's prejudice. The social stigma about gays and lesbians is completely wrong and stems from many misperceptions. These misperceptions are widespread as many people don't personally recognise a gay or lesbian person. Since few LGBTQ people are open, many people don't know our community. It's a vicious cycle which now finally has a chance to be broken due to the Supreme Court's landmark judgment. The publicity surrounding this decision has raised the profile of the LGBTQ community and educated the mainstream about our lives.
The language of the judgment is particularly encouraging in its understanding of the challenges faced by our community, including statements such as, "LGBTQ has equal citizenship and equal protection of laws", and, "The LGBTQ community should be allowed to live with dignity and without pretense. This is their journey to dignity, equality and liberty. It is time to bid adieu to prejudicial perceptions deeply ingrained in the social mindset". The Supreme Court's decision to protect our rights is brave because it goes against what most of society thinks.
I would like society to see that we are as normal as any other part of life. I realised I was lesbian around the age of 15 and it felt completely natural and right. I knew there was no other way I could live. I told my sister when I was 16 and told my parents when I was 17. I am blessed that my family is progressive and showed me unconditional love after what I had said.
My parents realised I was the same person after I opened up about my gayness as I was before. I had not changed. I was born gay. Of course, they worried about other people's judgment, but they never changed how they treated me. I was able to convince my parents that nobody who mattered would judge me and those who would judge me don't matter.
I came out to the media in 2011. My parents supported my decision to come out and they welcomed my wife, their daughter-in-law, into our family. I was lucky that my parents' love for me was greater than their fear.
I wish for all LGBTQ children that their parents be as loving and understanding as my parents. I am personally grateful to the Supreme Court for its wise and bold decision.

Gay relationships is against nature.Only the union of the male amd female principles an create.This is evident in even insects and plants. A judge cannot change nature. A gay couple cannot procreate;the only outcome of that relationship as scientifically known is ill-health and disease for the passive partner. As homosexuality is the result of a kink in an epigene,decriminalising it is alright but what thestate should have been required to do is to use modern technology to correct the defect in utero in the first trimester of the pregnancy. This should be thase for all genetic defects as the Canadian law mandates.There is no reflection of any modern knowledge in the decision which equates lust with love.

Don''t use such terms like Society prejudice. The word society has very deep meaning in all sense of it''s existence. An analytical thinking in highly warranted by the authorities on the out come of an unnatural menace which will contaminate the existing Health and Medical standards and also the Traditional value perception followed and maintained all along with an educated society.

The only way to stop the problem of illegal immigration is to take a hard-line stance and adopt policies of repatriation. Illegal immigrants are breaking the law and are harming the interests of citizens and legal migrants. The rules on immigration need to come with tough sanctions to ensure that they are not exploited or broken in the future. The only way to have an effective policy against illegal immigration is to make it difficult for illegal immigrants to get into and remain in the country. Repatriation is necessary because it targets successful illegal immigrants and ensures a comprehensive immigration policy that aims to reduce illegal immigration.
There are many alternatives to a repatriation policy that will more effectively target the problems caused by illegal immigration. Countries can toughen border controls and have better systems in place for granting asylum. Voluntary repatriation is unworkable, even if accompanied by financial assistance, because many illegal immigrants want to stay in the country.\
Repatriation also runs the risk of putting illegal immigrants at risk of harm when they return to their country of origin. Instead of simply requiring the immigrants to leave, repatriation sends them home. Many are fleeing persecution, human rights abuses, violent crime, war and famine. Sending them home is a violation of their human rights.\
Repatriating illegal immigrants is also inhumane because many illegal immigrants have been in the country for years. Many have started families and will be separated from them if returned home because children born in a country are usually granted citizenship. There have been cases in Canada and the UK where mothers have faced being separated from their children because they were going to be repatriated. \
Many countries such as the United Kingdom, Italy and the United States attract illegal immigrants because they are seen as a 'soft' target with poor border controls and the opportunity for illegal immigrants to remain in the country without detection. Repatriation sends a message to potential illegal migrants that their presence in the country will not be tolerated and that any attempt to stay in the country illegally will be unsuccessful.
Repatriation will not stop the numbers of people coming to the country. Illegal immigration does not occur because a country is a 'soft touch': very few, if any, countries have no problems with illegal immigration. The reasons behind immigration are social, political and economic and have nothing to do with an individual country's policy on illegal immigration. Those who turn to illegal immigration are often desperate and will pay no attention to the immigration policies of a country. A repatriation policy would be never-ending and a waste of time and money. It would be better to target only those illegal immigrants who pose a proven risk of harm to society.
Illegal Immigration is linked to dangerous criminal activity such as people and drug trafficking, terrorism and the sex trade. This is both dangerous for those involved in illegal immigration but also increases the criminal activity in a country, putting lawful residents at risk. Repatriating illegal immigrants would lead to fewer opportunities for criminal networks to gain entry to the country. The state also has a duty to protect its citizens from the harms associated with illegal immigration. Illegal immigration fuels dangerous industries such as prostitution and the drug trade, repatriating illegal immigrants cuts off a vital source of labour for these industries and could contribute to the eradication of these industries.
A repatriation policy will not effectively target this area of illegal immigration because criminal networks will always find ways of smuggling people into a country and evading detection. All a repatriation policy will do is make these gangs more sophisticated when it comes to hiding illegal immigrants.\
Having a zero-tolerance policy on illegal immigration will also make it harder for those who are trafficked to escape from criminal gangs because if they contact the authorities they will be sent home. This gives the criminals behind people-trafficking more power over their victims and will lead to worse living/working conditions in illegal industries.\
Illegal immigrants cost the state in money, time and resources. In the USA studies have shown that illegal immigrants are a net cost to the government rather than a net benefit. Illegal immigrants are a drain on healthcare and social services such as policing and education. They take taxpayer's money away from those who are lawfully entitled to use these services and put a burden on the state. The only way to alleviate these burdens is by repatriating illegal immigrants.
Many illegal immigrants pay taxes and actually contribute to the economy of a country. Every time an illegal immigrant buys something, they pay the same amount of sales tax or VAT as any other person. In the United Kingdom, illegal immigrants also pay income tax and national insurance if they are working. It is impossible to prove that all illegal immigrants are a drain on the system and so their cost to society cannot be used as a justification for repatriation policies.
Illegal immigrants undercut the labour market by accepting low wages and working under illegal conditions. This is harmful to lawful residents because it takes employment opportunities away from them and encourages employers to seek illegal labour in order to keep costs down. Removing the illegal workforce would increase the number of jobs available to lawful residents and force employers to pay fair wages and provide safe working conditions.
The illegal workforce is a necessary part of the economy because lawful residents do not want jobs such as casual labour, agricultural or domestic jobs. Illegal immigrants often provide vital services that would otherwise be too expensive or hard to find if regular workers were employed e.g. cleaning, childcare and manual labour. Goods would become too expensive to produce if, for example, parts of the agriculture industry had to employ lawful residents/migrants.
Failing to remove illegal immigrants undermines public confidence in the government and its migration policy. People believe that allowing those who have no right to remain in the country to stay on means the whole immigration system is broken. Legitimate migrants such as refugees, students and those with visas for work will be lumped together with illegal immigrants, and calls will grow for all forms of migration to be restricted. Populist feeling may also be inflamed against ethnic minorities, with increased social tensions.
Governments need to rethink migration policies as a whole and make an attempt to communicate the benefits of immigration to their citizens. There need to be more opportunities for foreign workers to operate legally, allowing them to leave and re-enter the country as they wish. This will remove the current incentive for many illegal immigrants to stay in their host country for life, as at present they know they are unlikely to be allowed back in should they ever leave.

INTERVIEW ON NOMADTOPIA RADIO
Malaysia toughens up Sedition Act with new amendments
By Annette Gartland on April 10, 2015
The lower house of the Malaysian parliament has passed amendments to the 1948 Sedition Act that have been condemned by lawyers and human rights organisations as a further assault on fundamental liberties.
The deputy director of the Asia division of Human Rights Watch, Phil Robertson, said: "The newly passed amendments to the Sedition Act are a human rights disaster for Malaysia that will have a profound chilling effect on freedom of expression, both in daily life and in online communication."
Changes have been made to the proposed amendments and the legislation would now retain the right to bail for those accused of sedition. However, those granted bail could still be prevented from leaving Malaysia.
The amended law would empower courts to issue an order for allegedly seditious material to be removed from the Internet.
Roberston said: "By extending the law's reach further into the Internet, setting out draconian sentencing requirements, and adding religion to the areas of coverage, Malaysia is setting the stage to deepen its ongoing crackdown on freedom of speech."
The fact that "criticism that incites disaffection against the government and the administration of justice" was no longer included in the sedition law was a step forward, Robertson said. However, there was still far too much scope in the legislation that gave wide discretion to the authorities "to target, harass and intimidate political opponents and activists, as has been seen over the past year".
The amendments, which were passed in the early hours of Friday morning by a vote of 108 to 79, must still be approved by the Senate, and gain royal approval, but the upper parliamentary chamber is also dominated by the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition, so there is no doubt that the changes will go through.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, said in a statement that the amendments risked seriously undermining freedom of expression and opinion throughout Malaysia.
The high commissioner urged Malaysia to bring its legislation into line with international human rights standards. "These proposals are particularly worrying given that the Sedition Act has been applied in many instances to curb the legitimate exercise of freedom of expression in Malaysia – including through the arrests of individuals for merely tweeting their criticism of government policies and judicial decisions," he said.
Zeid said that, since the beginning of 2014, at least 78 people had been investigated or charged under the Sedition Act and, in 2015 alone, at least 36 individuals had already been investigated or charged.
The high commissioner urged the Malaysian government to review the cases of all those who have been charged under the Sedition Act.
The newly-introduced Section 4(1A) of the Sedition Act creates a new offence of "aggravated sedition" and stipulates that those who cause bodily injury and/or property damage when committing sedition crimes will now face jail terms of between five and twenty years. There would also be a minimum sentence of three years, and courts would no longer have the option to impose fines upon conviction for a Section 4 sedition offence.
Zeid also voiced concern at the passage of the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) Bill in the lower house of parliament on Tuesday. "Among the serious human rights shortcomings in the law are provisions which permit the indefinite detention of individuals without trial and grant sweeping powers to law enforcement authorities," he said.
"Silencing dissent does not nurture social stability, but an open democratic space does," he added. "Curtailing the legitimate exercise of human rights in the name of fighting terrorism has been shown, time and again, to backfire and to only lead to festering discontent and a strong sense of injustice."
Lawyers for Liberty has described the sedition amendments as "absolutely scandalous". The lawyers said the amendment Bill constituted "an appalling setback, the most serious assault on the nation's democracy, fundamental liberties, and rule of law as it makes the already draconian Sedition Act far worse".
The executive director of lawyers for Liberty, Eric Paulsen, who was recently arrested under the Sedition Act for comments about hudud (Islamic law), told the Malay Mail Online that if the sedition law was to be applied to its fullest extent, social media and the Internet would not be able to function in Malaysia. "Users would probably err on the side of caution and only share non-controversial contents, for example, cute kittens."
Lawyer Michelle Yesudas, who has also been arrested under the Sedition Act, tweeted: "law just passed to allow prohibition orders to ensure no access electronic devices if found to be seditious. Welcome to the dark age."
There have already been numerous arrests under the Sedition Act, and many calls for its repeal. Critics say it is a legacy of colonial rule that is being used to crack down on dissent.

What Millennials Want in a Job with Danielle Godby

The millennial generation has been subjected to a lot of criticism – they are perceived as selfish, entitled and demanding, not to mention addicted to technology.
Are these stereotypes true? Certainly not for everyone.
But there are certain tendencies and habits associated with the millennial generation that are more prevalent than in the other generations currently in the workforce. However, bashing any one group of people does more harm than it does it good.
My guest is Danielle Godby, a Retirement Planner at Golden Reserve.
Danielle talks about her generation's focus on their job search. What's a priority to them?
When I talk to my friends, it's a lot about feeling fulfilled by the work that they do, being able to go home at night and know that they helped someone do something better or they can feel better about their contributions to their own community.
Does money come into play?
It's not necessarily about how much money you can make, which, honestly, it's quite surprising given all the student loan debt that is saddling my generation. But that's really not the dialogue that I hear. It's a lot more about feeling good about what they do and feeling appreciated in what they do.
Among your colleagues and your peers, do you find that they value other job attributes like learning and advancement more than they do income?
There are a few different things that I hear come up in conversation and they're surprising to me. You would think income would be front and center of the conversation, given that we were taught our whole lives to prepare for college. But what I hear is they want to make an impact. They want to feel good about what they do. They want to have the flexibility to work from home if they need it or to take mental health days to have a work-life balance.
What can business owners do to motivate them to stay?
I think it's very basic. If you pull it back to the bare bones, it's just building a relationship with someone that's strong, and consistent. You want something that lasts. So you have to invest in that relationship.

The Value of Mentors, Pt. 2
April 18, 2022 Authentic Leadership, family-owned business, insecurity, journey, mentee, mentor, personal growth, woman-owned businessinspiring-women
In our previous episode, Merry Korn and Sheryl Marrero talked about their journey as a mentor and a mentee.
Merry is the owner of Pearl Interactive Network, Inc., and Sheryl is the President of SavKon Construction.
Sheryl, as the mentee, was in really, really bad shape as a business owner and reached out and said, I need a mentor. And she met Merry Korn, who's a very successful businesswoman. She has used common sense practices, good advisors, all that kind of stuff. But Merry was not in Sheryl's industry. Merry was a little intimidated by it, but she became a great mentor because business is business.
The key thing about their relationship that made it successful from the beginning, there was a connection. They had a great connection to the point that Sheryl, who didn't know Merry, could be transparent, be open, and then she could actually listen and as she says, "be obedient" to and accountable to what Merry was telling her. Those were key elements of a good mentor relationship.
They also didn't put a timetable on the relationship. They are still going strong. It's not just about getting together. It's not just getting coffee together. It's just not talking. It's about developing success. And in the case of Sheryl and Merry, Sheryl really became a completely different person as a business owner and a person. And Merry really loved the mentor role and was energized by being there with her. And there will probably be, I would say, business friends and lifetime friends.
This is why Sheryl thinks the mentoring was so impactful.
It was impactful because it actually pushed me to believe in myself. It was like it unleashed my potential that I didn't even recognize.
We find out what Sheryl was hoping in the beginning that the mentoring would accomplish.
In the beginning, I was just hoping to break even because I was in a different mindset at the time. So initially I was thinking, if I can just break even, I'll walk away and be done with business. But after being in the program, that changed it. I mean, it just changed everything and it just ended up being so much more.
And what did Merry want the mentoring relationship to accomplish?
One of the things I always said to Sheryl is, Sheryl, whatever happens between us, I know you're going to be successful. And my big ask is to pay it forward. Her success as a minority woman business owner is she's literally one in a million. It's that rare. So my big ask of Sheryl is to pass it forward.

I have two women who completely inspired me at an event that I attended for the Women's Small Business Accelerator. The WSBA has a gala every fall, and Brady Ware & Company is a big supporter of that organization.
Merry Korn and Sheryl Marrero told their story of how they came together. They started out together as mentor-mentee through a six-month program with the WSBA. As women business owners, we need to be inspired by other women business owners. So I really want them to tell a little bit about their journey together. And then we're going to talk about mentoring, being a mentor or a mentee.
We cover a lot of ground in this episode, including how and why Sheryl needed the mentor relationship that Merry had to offer to help her with her business debt.
I was in a large deficit and so I was referred to the Mentor Match program through the WSBA. I ended up at the table with Merry. And although her business was totally different from mine, I instantly felt trust in her. And that was one of the things I had hoped for and prayed for, for a mentor who I could trust.
Find out what made the difference in turning her business around, and more detail about Merry's Wellness Checkup Plan.
