HOW ENQUIRIES AND COMMITTEES PROTECT INJUSTIC
Unmasking the shady people who pay the Piper:
Date: July 5, 2012Author: John Ward 35 Comments
A close-up on why it takes so long in the Enquiring Committee Culture to get Justice.
Robert the Pious…sick-making
As a part-historian by training, I'm often fascinated by what future commentators will make of a particular era in which I'm living. But I suspect there won't be too much arguing about the second ten years of the 21st century. Tomorrow's historians will call these, our days of enquiries, The Denouement Decade: the changeover time when it finally dawned on the ordinary, depoliticised citizen that the wasters we pay to do stuff for us have forgotten the identity of their employers.
But for us now, living through it largely unaware of all that, the challenge is to work out why this denouement is taking so long to unfold.
The banking, media, political, judicial, legal, commercial and policing agencies up there where the air is rarified work for themselves and each other – not for the people who pay them sight deposits free, buy their products, give them votes, and hand them near-untrammelled power to catch and try criminals.
It's the main reason why, for instance, the new collective noun for political investigation should surely be an infinity of Enquiries. Enquiries are not set up to hold people to account, but rather to hold up the process of prosecution until such time as the public loses interest. In the US and the UK since 2008, we have all sat, angrily bored, while umpteen committees and variously termed quasi-juries of incompetent investigators ask the Uberklass questions they expect, avoid, filibuster through, lie their way out of, and generally claim to have super-moral standpoints about – "I am shocked/appalled/when I was told, I felt sick/this sort of behaviour is unacceptable in my company" – until all of us at home want to either (a) hurl the channel-changer at the screen or (b) hurl our dinner everywhere.
The most aggressive form of this How Very Dare You I've experienced so far was the senior UK former cop Andy Hayman, an associate of the multiple-resigner about nothing Andy Coulson who, when asked whether he had ever taken money from a journalist, went into a routine of Insulted Angel after the style of a tinpot soap character: "I mean, really, well. Good God. I mean…Mr Chairman, that question is totally out of order". But the facts show that he has taken a large Murdoch shilling as a 'crime reporter', as a result of which not many crime reports have appeared.
There is no socio-judicial purpose whatsoever to the holding of enquiries where the interrogators are showboating, and the accused have no fear of the law's wrath. It is nothing more than the wannabe famous in pursuit of the accidentally infamous. It is a sham about a scam, a third-rate provincial chorus line trying to lasso a smoke-ring: but mainly, it represents the Establishment systematically felling trees in the road being trodden by weary and increasingly cynical seekers after justice.
The obvious intent of these gatherings is given away by the associated Freudian protesting of the linguistics. Mr Cameron will tell us he wants to be clear about the rigour, when he really wants to stir up the river-bed with vigour. A N Other Minister lays emphasis on the words 'full judicial' enquiry, as if there might be such a thing as a half-empty kangaroo Court. The enquiry billed as 'invesigating without fear or favour' lives in a world where the police investigate people and things for political reasons, fear doing the wrong things for their careers, and favour the rich and powerful.
But the idea is there for all to see once the committee gets under way, because everyone at the Dispatch Box or facing a Congressional Committee can say – when asked the 64 trillion dollar question – "I think it would be wrong for any of us to prejudice the enquiry currently looking into this matter". This and this alone enabled the serial-shady character Jeremy Hunt to evade disgrace and keep his job when (for once) the media truly were focused on one vital fact: he had lied to the House of Commons.
These delaying tactics have, so far, been all that's required to keep everyone important involved in Hackgate, Hunt Balls and the Libor Party out of jail – even out of a Court trial process. But that's changing now. Andy Coulson will stand trial for perjury in Scotland (asuming they don't make the Digger King Rupert I in the interim) and Rebekah Brooks will face criminal conspiracy charges. The second point of the ubiquitous Enquiry will thus come to the fore very soon: to act as a means of screwing up the trial process by claiming Inability to get a Fair Trial. It is only a matter of time.
When that time comes, the shock troops ambushing the knackered media and blogosphere detectives will be, to a man and woman, lawyers. Today, Britain is run – literally, in every sense – by lawyers: every new law is another pointless job created, and every badly-written piece of ill-judged legislation another task for those arguing the precedents this way and that. In our hospitals, the entire culture is driven at management level by a spineless fear of litigation, as are our workplaces and remaining factories – where the equally unproductive sign-writing sector of the economy is kept busy day and night churning out notices saying everything from 'Warning – hot water' to 'May contain nuts'.
Media sales and legal marketers work hand in glove to encourage a culture of all blame and no responsibility – such that Daytime TV is nowadays a cavalcade of 'no award, no fee' mendacity masquerading as some kind of social service: "Have you driven your car pissed witless into a tree? We can help you sue the Council that put the tree there. No award, no fee, no tree". And a week after the court case, along comes the sign writer to attach 'Warning: tree present' on that Oak dating back to 1635.
The obvious anti-social and culturally corrosive nature of this sort of advertising is one thing the overwhelming majority of citizens would like to see stopped tomorrow. Is it on the Parliamentary agenda? It is not. Why not? Because a disturbing proportion of MPs are lawyers. Compared to their incidence in the population, lawyers were 343% over-represented in the last New Labour controlled House of Commons; at Cabinet level, they were 3800% over-represented.
There are more lawyers per capita in the UK now than at any time in history: there is one lawyer per 401 people in Britain, and one per 265 people in the US. That puts Britain 4th in the global league table. The US has 50% of all the lawyers in the world, and Britain has 17 times as many lawyers per capita as Japan. Japan suffers 1.3 robberies per 100,ooo – while the figure for England and Wales is 1.03 ….but 8.7 for the United States. Obviously, it isn't the lawyer's job to catch criminals; what I'm pointing out is an inverse correlation between the new lawyers coming through, and the amount of crime going on. Ergo sum, lawyers are not generally engaged in prosecuting those preying on society. On the whole, they encourage the growth of ambulance chasers preying on both economy and State.
Hardly surprising, then, that your chances of being convicted of a crime are falling. The Crown Prosecution Service (in case you hadn't noticed) is flat broke. They blame the police, the police blame the cps, and both of them blame the Government.
Our legal system was originally drawn up to protect aristocrats from mad monarchs. Briefly from the late 19th century onwards, it was designed to alleviate the condition of the poor (occasionally) and later still to protect the weak and vulnerable from the lawlessly privileged in our society. Today the legal system operates to bully the vulnerable (Newscorp) protect the powerful (Met Police) ignore the wind-sailors (Jeremy Hunt) arrest the politically incorrect (Stonewall) control the media (Andrew Marr) and recognise fewer and fewer financial crimes as worthy of their attention (Barclays and RBS). In 2012, the main thing the legal system needs protection from is the lawyers running it.
I don't know about you, but I'm all enquiried out. I want collars felt, stool-pigeons singing, politicians going down the tubes, lawyers cut down to size. In short, I want justice.
"Justice must be seen to be done," as we used to say at one time. The contemporary definition is slightly different: "Justice must appear to be done, and preferably very, very slowly".

Is it possible for a member of the public to prosecute in regards to Libor?

absolutely, we didn't get where we are today by reading law-books. we are currently handling a matter concerning the landlord of a three-storey terraced property in east-central london who wishes to make his roof available to the ministry of defence for the purpose of locating strategic ground-to-air missiles during the olympic games. when in place, the gun-battery will make its own case – so no need for unnecessary legal research and intricate intellectual choreography. i'm not sure how effective the site will be as a vantage-point, but i'm pretty sure the next-door-neighbour's cats are going to be in trouble.
'I can believe that Barclays' main concern was to avoid the impression they were less creditworthy than the lying others'. We've heard this a lot from various quarters over the last few days, but why did the Select Ctte not jump on this point? One the one hand, Bob knew nothing about manipulation of LIBOR reporting (surely his most important KPI?), but on the other hand, he knew full well what Barclays main concern was (begging the obvious question – 'what did he propose to do about that main concern?', leading to the equally obvious answer – 'under report the rate', as the 'impression' that Barclays wasn't creditworthy was patently true).

@JW: "Enquiries are not set up to hold people to account, but rather to hold up the process of prosecution until such time as the public loses interest.
Quite so. I'm sure that when Red Ed Milipede keeps demanding a full judicial inquiry into Libor rigging that'll take forever, he really really wants to get to the bottom of who, what, when & why, not to kick the scandal into the long grass to hide his own Party's direct involvement.
It is now a matter of fact that Libor was being rigged and that is a criminal offence. What we need right now is not any sort of inquiry – quick and dirty or otherwise – but a criminal investigation and charges brought against the perps and conspirators. Why are the Met Police not already on to this? Do they have to be asked to investigate crime?
vine street runners - making sure the truth is dragged-out says:
oh cummon john, don't give me all that thousand-word-pen-picture-poppy, it's all very simple really: the ranks of the political classes are filled purely with lawyers because our duly elected moral jack-asses obviously require someone close-at-hand to get-them-off when they inevitably get caught soliciting in a public place – and many hold dear the ideal that if you want a job done properly it is a far better thing to do-it-yourself; madame parliament is home to the boldest and most barefaced profession – there's really nothing like the gemütlich back-whiff of homespun lies seeping-out from beneath the rear refectory-door before drifting ambivalently into the bowery back-arbour of lovingly tended and trained limitations.
@JW: "The banking, media, political, judicial, legal, commercial and policing agencies […] work for themselves and each other – not for the people who pay them…"
This is indeed absolutely true and it has always been thus, albeit less obviously in the past. What we are seeing now are the End Days of the charade. I think another view historians might take of this era is 'The Agonising Death of Democracy'.

@Carys; Yes, I agree but, parking fines are paid to local authorities.
I think what we are talking about here, is incentives.
Absolutely spot-on. The incomparably bright and beautiful Gillian Tett at the FT has made the point about Japanese culture several times: both you and she are right.
This is why I find the comparison important: UK and US pols know knob-all about social anthropology – but it is vital to an understanding of macro behaviour.

You would think with so many lawyers against crimes committed that in a free market the cost to hire one of these would fall,cartels inquiring into cartels, never, surly not
Kit Green says:
It seems that JW is in agreement with Craig Murray.
The hopelessness of New Labour as a vehicle of change is underlined by their fixation with "judge-led" inquiries into anything that crops up. Remember the Hutton whitewash? Will a senior judge really recommend the fundamental reform of casino banking in the City of London and the careers of the banking squillionaires he undoubtedly knows so well at his club, lodge and golf course?

Chasing burglaries costs money. Parking infractions generate revenue. Someone has to pay for the astonishing cost of the UK police, whose income is only remotely connected with their performance (or lack thereof).

1. sorry if this comment should really have appeared on his immediate post. BoB and his mates Jesse, Pat, Andrea etc). To get an answer, I will compress.
2. Chapeau! chapeau!! Chapeau!!! to JW and his instincts
3. A comment on the "facts" as they emerged from the STC hearing
4. A serious request for better informed (than me) info from JW or one of his sloggers.
3. yes, it seems credible that Barclays' rate setters (in 2007 but mainly in late 2008 before and after the Tucker call and note) were mainly trying to get back in the "pack" – i.e. they were catching up with rate lies of other libor contributors. And yes, this only became very visible with a major impact on derivative rates round the world when absolute libor soared in 2008 and the spread between the various submissions widened. So far so good.Yes, I can believe that Barclays' main concern was to avoid the impression they were less creditworthy than the lying others and that that concern increased during 200 up to and including the Tucker-Diamond call.
4. The rogue traders in the 2005-07 period (big Bob's phase 1) Here somebody please explain. What sort of rate manipulation (upwards? or downwards?) went on in such a way give rise to "insider" trading info that would benefit an individual's book? What are the mechanics of a trade that makes use of inside info on ONE out of SIXTEEN submissions?
MickC says:
JW, you are entirely right in what you say.
The profusion of "no win no fee" adverts was started when the OFT decided that the Law Society's ban on lawyers paying referral fees was "anti-competitive". The Law Society folded like a wet paper bag (despite most of the profession being agin) and thereafter it was open season for the spiv "Claims Management Companies" which took a large fee for well, just saying to people "here's a lawyer".
Litigation itself was made more expensive by the Woolf reforms which stated that before proceedings could be issued every aspect of the case had to be "court ready". Previously if there was a good case there would usually be a settlement long before that amount of work and therefore cost had been expended. Woolf, being one of our "intellectual" judges took no notice of those who said it would lead to a massive increase in costs-but then he was one of the great and the good.
And to cap all that lot the Law Society is promoting third party ownership of law firms-probably "venture capitalists". Now let me think, which will come first, clients best interests (as it should be in a profession) or profit for the owner? Sorry, no prizes for the right answer!
So, as in banking, it comes down to a clash between the sales at any cost culture and the professional culture-and the professional culture doesn't stand a chance!
El Sid says:
They keep telling us that the finance sector is essential to Britain's role in the world. If that's the case we should just jump the whole process and lock the buggers up for Treason Against the State.
I'd suggest the Tower of London. A few drably dressed inmates would do wonders to its value as a tourist attraction.
shaftedagain says:
Strange how the law works – get nicked today for Drink-Driving and you will appear in court within 7 days…
Fix the Libor rate some years ago (Gross potential cost of the fraud unknown) and only today there is an inquiry and nobody arrested, nobody doing time – likewise with the phone hacking scandal .
John, Japan does have relatively few lawyers and as a result organized crime, the Yakusa, are used to settle quite routine matters as well as major scandals. The Yakusa, of course, work hand in hand with the police and the politicians as their extra-judicial arm. The difference is therefore somewhat illusory as well as the fact that Japan is a very homogenous society with strong cultural norms that you violate at your peril.
I am relieved to see that we are still less lawyer intensive than the US which, in my view, is a nightmare to be avoided at all costs.
keating was an outstanding Prime Minister with a fine mind and, if I am not mistaken,, had the advantage of NOT going to university and thereby cluttering it up with conventional pieties.
Bet the Speaker was a lawyer!
Jwoo says:
I might be able to argue minutiae in your view but actually in broad terms it feels absolutely right.
We would all probably argue the toss about how it has come about and I'll especially defend against any charge of apathy pointed in my direction. But the real point is when will it change?
There I am hopeful. Not because I am confident in our institutions but because TPTB have made an error. It is that as long as people could do better than survive, improve on their position and expect to leave their children better off than they were themselves, people would trust in TPTB.
Now more and more are coming to realise that it has all been a house of cards and only TPTB could be responsible for it. As people struggle more just to keep what they have, their anger will increase and become focussed on those very same TPTB. To survive the growing backlash sacrificial lambs will be selected from within the elite's own ranks, that is when it will become interesting.
I hope I live long enough to see it, because my only concern is that it is still someway off and TPTB are no doubt busy working out more and more effective ways to keep people focussed on other stuff.
Harold Rosario says:
You make a very interesting point JW about the growing percentage of lawyers, not only in the parliamentary process but also in the NGO groups that are in effect an unelected shadow government.
Paul Keating, a very intelligent politician and Prime Minister of Australia (and not a lawyer) had a marvellously acerebic tongue and he also noted the preponderance of lawyers in Parliament in Australia. He warned that this trend would have negative consequences as in his humble opinion lawyers brains were like birds nests, full of shit and sticks. He was called to order by the Speaker of course.
My favourite is 'Draw a line under the matter' and 'Lessons learnt' which really mean, "Ok, so we have been caught out, it doesn't matter so, shut up canting on"
You see in Peru you can commit any crime you can afford. The people there have grown up with this culture, twas always thus so to speak, and no one cares a jot about it. Twas always thus here too, just now we are aware of it and we feel cheated, as we should, for, we were told to expect better, we are being lied to, and we are continuing to be lied to. I have a feeling this is not going to change in the near future.
I always thought that the amount of newly created laws would eventually consume the creators, it is a self devouring exercise, they cannot police the ones we have now, let alone any new ones. I have noticed that drivers do not stop using their mobiles when they spot police cars any longer, such is the contempt for the law. But, on the other hand, in Worthing near to where I live, put one wheel over a yellow line on a Saturday morning at 8:00am and, 2 minutes later, £30 parking fine, yet when a friend of mine reported a burglary where two shotguns were taken, took them 3 days to attend.

Instead of hanging a politician from every 3rd lamppost we could make it every four and hang three lawyers in between and replace them with wise sages from the community. I am being serious!

Barbara Richards says:
I know I sound like a broken record, but why have there been no arrests? Have the police gone on strike or something?
PhilE says:
Couldn't agree more with this. Our western industrial civilisation is suffering from sclerotic arteries and lawyers and msm are at the bad cholesterol. We seem to have moved from quick justice to the most long strangulated form of non justice possible. The principle of all regulation could be boiled down to the single common law axiom, "do no harm". If 12 good men and true think something is harmful let them mete out instant justice and all the bollocks would melt away. Ban parliaments from making laws, they should be there to rip them up. They can then focus on holding the government to account for our personal liberty and the way they take our cash and spend it.
Obviously this could never work as the elites would never allow themselves to be held accountable for the harm they do. Equal treatment for all is what people want to see and is most lacking presently.

Matadores advance to semifinals
OXNARD – Whether or not the La Mirada High School boys soccer squad is a team of destiny remains to be seen.
What is undeniable, however, is how the Matadores (22-0-4) are finding different ways to win, including on Thursday afternoon.
Behind a head's-up goal and some clutch defense, visiting La Mirada held off a late barrage from Pacifica in defeating the Tritons, 1-0, in the quarterfinals of the CIF-Southern Section Division 4 playoffs.
La Mirada advanced to its first divisional semifinal since 2003 next Tuesday at upstart Laguna Hills (13-8-3).
"I'm not sure you could single out one player on this team," La Mirada coach Philip Yovino said. "Everyone is playing well and doing their job. This was a team effort."
Matadores midfielder Andrew Perez stood tallest on Thursday.
The valuable yet quiet player made the most noise in the 11th minute.
After a Matadores long ball sailed wide to Pacifica keeper Luis Orozco, the goalie attempted to lead a quick counter by dribbling out of the crease and clearing to a nearby defender.
But Orozco's 15-yard pass, which was kicked outside the penalty area, was shanked off the tip of his foot and right to Perez.
The junior wasted no time in wafting a 35-yard shot over a stunned Orozco and into the net for the game's lone score.
"It was crazy. I didn't think I was going to make that shot," said Perez, still somewhat surprised after the game. "I don't know what to say. It was all luck."
The goal required a bit of fortune, but what could not be shrugged off so easily was Perez's defense in the 66th minute.
While Pacific View League champion Pacifica (13-3-4) pressed offensively as the game dragged on, the Tritons nearly scored the equalizer when forward Henry Pineda hit teammate Ivan Lorca with a strong through pass in the middle of the crease.
The ball bounced slightly off Lorca's foot and gave Perez just enough time to poke away a steal as Lorca fell to the ground looking for a penalty.
"Our defense has its scary moments. That's just the way it is," La Mirada defender Joey Maurer said. "But it's the strongest defense I've ever seen."
The Matadores increased their school record to 16 shutouts this season but not without a fight from Pacifica.
The Tritons nearly tied the game in the 44th minute when striker Jesus Galeana headed a ball from five yards toward the top corner of the goal.
Backpedaling Matadores goalie Josue Quintanilla (five saves) was just able to nudge the ball off the crossbar and back into play where it immediately was kicked out of harm's way.
The Tritons had two similar looks over the final 10 minutes.
Maurer cleared away two great chances as La Mirada became only the second team to beat Pacifica on its home field this year.

3 Year Olds, A Reliable Age For The Final Cohort?
Readers of Age of Autism are aware of the term "the big hungry lie" coined by regular contributor J.B. Handley, used to describe the tactics of the CDC and the drug industry's attempts to disassociate autism from vaccines in any way, shape, or form.
Perhaps the biggest lie of all is the one that has been repeated all too long, that after thimerosal was reduced or eliminated from vaccines, autism rates continued to go up. There have been multiple instances of this claim and each time it has been proven false, right up to the recent lie that after thimerosal was removed from vaccines in 2001, autism rates continue to increase. These two claims, the first that thimerosal was removed from vaccines, and the second that autism rates have not gone down as a result, continue to be used to justify the injection of thimerosal into pregnant women and children with flu shots. The claims have also been used to justify the immunization of children in developing countries with vaccines preserved with thimerosal. Sadly, neither claim is any more truthful than previous equally erroneous claims, the earliest of which originated from Scandinavia, then spread to Canada and most recently came out of California.
The paper by Stehr-Green et al., for example, purported to study autism rates in Sweden after thimerosal removal in 1993, but only hospitalizations in relation to autism were analyzed. Anyone remotely familiar with autism knows that it is not the kind of condition for which one would typically go to a hospital for treatment.
In the same study were also analyses of autism rates in Denmark, which were even more flawed. Many here remember the infamous Danish studies published in 2003, which served as the primary basis for the IOM's predetermined conclusion in 2004, that autism rates shot up after thimerosal removal in 1992. In reality what happened was the Danish were worried there was a connection between thimerosal and autism, and right after thimerosal was eliminated from all their vaccines, they rapidly changed their registration program to include a lot more children. Such an interpretation of these studies -- designed by the CDC, and conducted by Statens Serum Institut, the largest vaccine-manufacturer in Denmark -- that autism rates skyrocketed after thimerosal removal, can be regarded as little more than propaganda.
When SafeMinds reanalyzed the data of the latest Denmark study, Hviid et al., by applying the same standards of higher case ascertainment to children born before 1992, they found a prevalence of 1 in 500, compared to a prevalence of 1 in 1,500 ten years later, a 66% drop. Unfortunately, this would not be the last time the CDC would design such self-contradicting studies.
His MMR data were no more reliable. Instead of using local MMR immunization rates to compare to autism rates, he used immunization data from Quebec City, 145 miles away. Even though the Cochrane Collaboration had this to say about his previous MMR study from 2001, "The number and possible impact of biases was so high that interpretation of the results was difficult," and even though the collaboration included a person who also acted as a legal consultant to MMR manufacturers, such discrediting apparently has not stopped Fombonne from doing more completely flawed, post-marketing research.
But back to thimerosal, because just two years ago, Robert Schechter and Judith Grether of the California Department of Public Health accessed the records of the California Database for Evaluation and Research (CDER) of the California Department of Developmental Services in children ages 3-5. The purpose was to see if autism rates had declined after the supposed removal of thimerosal from vaccines. According to Schecter and Grether's analysis, they hadn't. Using their interpretation, the two researchers determined that thimerosal must not be a primary cause of autism, in a study published in the Archives of General Psychiatry entitled "Continuing Increases in Autism Reported to California's Developmental Services System: Mercury in Retrograde." However, their own errors, it now appears, contradicted their conclusions.
The very last cohort the study looks at are 3 years olds, which already is not a sufficient age group to base any conclusions from, as they would be hopelessly premature. This is especially relevant to point out because Schechter and Grether suggest that the first full thimerosal-free year was 2003, yet this was the final birth year fully studied, and children born during this year would have been diagnosed the earliest for reasons that will be explained later. Moreover, the claim that children received no more exposure to thimerosal after 2002 is not true either. Expiration dates on many of the vaccines that contained thimerosal were well after 2003. Furthermore, unpublished statistics show that there were sharp increases in thimerosal exposure from flu shots given to infants and pregnant women, while other sources of mercury exposure further confound the study's conclusions.
Even if the premise for this study had been correct, that thimerosal was removed in 2002, it is still inherently flawed by the fact that its conclusions that thimerosal and autism are unrelated are based on one birth year of very young children (three year olds born in 2003), which is only the beginning of when autism cases start getting filed into the DDS CDER archives. Drawing any conclusions from this age group alone would be a false hope.
Perhaps recognizing this problem, the authors then proceed to combine cases designated as three years of age with those ages four and five, but this only adds to the problem, creating a simple ascertainment bias that would make the designated 3 year old age group, by virtue of having less time to enter the system, smaller than the group labeled as four years old, which would in turn be smaller than the age group labeled as 5 years of age. This is especially important because older kids would have been more likely to receive greater quantities of thimerosal than younger kids. Yet they are all combined into one whole age group from which to draw conclusions based on prevalence.
This relates primarily to the less quantifiable problems in relation to autism rates, which were issues with elemental mercury exposure from amalgam fillings, methylmercury exposure from coal-burning facilities, the remaining childhood vaccines preserved with thimerosal that were not taken off the shelves, and for that matter thimerosal exposure from the flu shot while exposure from other vaccines was being reduced.
Complicating this further is the fact that there seems to be no consensus on when the first year routinely recommended vaccines truly contained no thimerosal preservative. Schechter and Grether said the preservative was all gone from vaccines in the middle of 2002, citing the IOM Report. However, all the IOM said was that the ACIP gave an "expressed preference" that all thimerosal be removed by 2002, hardly reflective of actual thimerosal content in vaccines. The FDA said the last lots preserved in thimerosal expired at the beginning of 2003, but the Council of State Governments said it was early 2004, while parents have found vaccines on the shelves of doctor's offices with expiration dates that surpass all these years. So no one really knows.
On top of all this, the parallel increase in uptake of flu shots, like those during pregnancy, may contribute to earlier onset autism, due to earlier exposure, and therefore contribute to the disorder being diagnosed earlier. Unfortunately, there is no available immunization data for prenatal flu shots.
What is available, however, is the immunization data for the rate of postnatal flu shots among children ages 6-23 months of age, as reflected among clients enrolled in the Northern California Kaiser HMO, which jumped from 5% during the 2001-2002 influenza season, to 45%, in the following season. By winter of 2004-2005, 57% of 6-23 month olds were getting flu shots, practically all of which were preserved with thimerosal. Data for pregnant women are not available, but they were also a target group for flu vaccines in the same period.
That is the final and main problem I found with this paper, which has been used to support the untrue claim that autism rates have continued to go up. First, the claim that prevalence of autism was counted in 3-5 year old children is misleading. Schecter and Grether's estimates of age rely on subtracting the year of birth of the child from the year the child is currently enrolled as an active client, but that does not mean the child really is that age For example, I was born in 1988, so by Schechter and Grether's counts I would be 22, but I'm actually 21. So many children are getting counted as older than they really were. Many children labeled as four years old are actually three and many children labeled as five years old are actually four, and roughly half the five year olds are not included but actually classified in with children six or older. Children in the studied age group could be as old as five, but that's not the same as including the entire five year old age group.
So the Schecter and Grether study only fully accounts for 3 and 4 year olds; the only other study I can recall which looks at children that young is the infamous Verstraeten study. This is key, especially since during the years it looked at the rates after thimerosal "removal" (which is also dubious), the California Department of Developmental Services' regional centers made changes that may artificially skew autism clients, especially those in the youngest age groups, towards an upward trend.
So, now the youngest possible autism age groups in the CDER archives of the CDDS, 3 and 4 year olds, the only ones Schechter and Grether fully account for, are heavily biased. Not only would developing procedures for diagnosis skew autism figures towards the youngest children, but also since they are done at reporting centers, children may now enter the DDS system as soon as they are diagnosed. This will mean the proportion of younger children to older children with autism will shoot way up, and that is exactly what we see in the Jaunuary 2009 Hertz-Picciotto study published in Epidemiology, where starting in 2002, new cases of autism in the CDDS of children ages 0-4 go up linearly but the rate for children ages 5-9 starts to flatline. It also means that, amidst all this, the increasing proportion of total numbers of new cases, assuming the autism rate were to continue to remain the same, must also balance out with the total number of cases leaving the system as well as the decreasing proportion of older children entering the system. So changes in the youngest clients would still be reflected indirectly in total new autism cases, as they are all part of the same system. As a result, looking solely at autism rates in the youngest children does not give the full picture.
What does, however, are the results obtained by Dr. Mark Geier, a fellow of the American College of Epidemiology, and his son David Geier, when they analyzed both the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System of autism-related adverse events and the California Department of Developmental Services data of total new autism cases and found a decrease in both, according to a study entitled "Early Downward Trends in Neurodevelopmental Disorders Following Removal of Thimerosal-Containing Vaccines," published in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons.
Not only that, the CDDS graph of autism (page 12) from this study provides further evidence for early diagnosis bias in the Schechter and Grether paper. An increase in the proportion of younger children who enter the system, namely three, four and some five year olds who are the youngest clients enrolled in the CDDS CDER database, while it may positively affect the reporting system overall, would still mean that there would have to be a corresponding decrease of older children with autism being enrolled to the system; that would be offset by an acceleration of younger cases if rates were to remain stagnant, and as a result cause a stagnation in the number of new cases. New autism cases would also have to offset the increasing numbers of older cases reported from previous quarters leaving the system, if they do, then the autism rate has not gone down.
However, this is not the case based on the fact that the increase in prevalence among 3-5 year olds from 1995 to 2007 in Schechter and Grether is a straight line maintained at a constant rate, not an accelerating curve as would be expected with younger children entering the system, likely due to thimerosal removal. Further evidence for this can be seen from Figure 3 of Geier et al., showing the scatter plot of total new autism cases entered to the CDDS, which shows a downwards trend beginning in early 2002.
To be fair, however, the Geiers' study drew some criticism. Critics claimed the decrease was the result of state law that went into effect in mid 2003. However, the change in trend noted by the Geiers began in early 2002.
Those who use the California DDS data to exonerate thimerosal's role in autism will point to changes in the state law in 2003 that raised demands of those being served by CDDS, saying that clients must show "substantial disability" in three or more areas of life because the state was facing a budget crisis, and that therefore, the California database was if anything, taking fewer cases than it would have.
Furthermore, if one were to believe these changes have a significant impact on the reporting of full-blown autism at all, one would expect a disproportionately lower growth in full-blown autism as compared with Aspergers and PDD-NOS, since the "substantial disability" criteria only applies to classic autism between the years of 2002 and 2007. However, growth for autism compared with other ASDs for which "substantial disability" criteria does not apply increased at approximately the same rate during this period. (page 27): See HERE.
Then there are the changes that took place in the CDDS in 2002 that culminated in the emergence of early diagnosis and evaluation policies for ASDs that had not previously existed, that would positively skew the numbers of autism spectrum disorders enrolled in the database, especially in the youngest children. This is far more likely to bias the database in a positive direction than requiring extra proof of "substantial disability" in cases with classic autism, which is already a substantial disability.
While I have previously speculated that increased exposure to thimerosal from flu shots plays a role, the results are likely to be primarily due to drastic administrative changes as stated before in reference to the 2007 Report "Controlling Regional Center Costs." The budget crisis that had been going on during this time period, if anything, caused the Department to divert more funds to early diagnosis and intervention programs for autism, given that autism has increased at a much higher rate than the other disabilities the system keeps track of. This change to the CDDS database came as a result of a state law passed the year before in 2001, the most widely cited year for alleged thimerosal removal.
Even slight fluctuations in the average age of diagnosis alone can have a major impact on autism rates in young ages. In Denmark, for example, in a study published in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine entitled "Autism Prevalence Trends Over Time in Denmark: Changes in Prevalence and Age at Diagnosis," a drop in the average age of autism diagnosis from 5.1 to 4.7 was attributable to a 37% autism increase in 3 year olds while the drop in the average age of ASD diagnosis from 5.9 to 5.3 as attributable to a growth of 66% in 3 year olds. Even modest shifts in the average age of diagnosis can have a huge impact on autism in the youngest age groups. So the change in age of diagnosis definitely would have impacted the studied age groups of 3, 4 and some 5 year olds. (19047542[PMID]) See HERE.
However, it should be noted that one of the study's authors, Poul Thorsen, had a hand in one of the previous studies from Denmark "exempting" thimerosal, and another equally flawed study attempting to do the same with the MMR vaccine. He is currently under criminal investigation, facing possible charges of fraud and forgery.
Just as egregious was when the CDDS changed its reporting mechanisms in 2008 in a big way, which would include many more cases, one week before the Schecter and Grether study was published. This meant that the database from there on out would be unusable to track the autism rates to determine if there would be a decline any time soon. This had a profound impact on the monitoring of autism cohort systems in California, ultimately leading up to their closure for autism surveillance, This occurred one week before the publication of this premature and totally biased study looking at the autism rates in the CDDS. Such a sequence of events raises considerable doubt about the integrity of the research.
This was not unlike when the CDC blocked off all access to the Vaccine Safety Datalink Project after December 2000, after which, presumably, the thimerosal-phase out began. A fact worth noting is that these results are also consistent with the words of an anonymous CDC monitor who was quoted in "Evidence of Harm" by David Kirby as saying that the autism rate in the Vaccine Safety Datalink was going down during thimerosal reduction.
Even before this study, however, the California Department of Health has proven it is not credible, especially its immunization branch. The CDC funds it, and when this study in California was being done, Robert Davis was head of the Immunization Safety Office; he also helped Epidemic Intelligence Surveillance officer Thomas Verstraeten eliminate the relative risks with each draft of his study.
Robert Schechter, the lead author, is merely the successor of Loring Dales who did the glaringly flawed study from 2001 that tried to clear the MMR vaccine in a similar fashion. This study was later criticized for not having sufficient power to detect an association if one were to exist, according to a later study in 2002 by Madsen et al. which also attempted to exonerate the MMR, but omitted many children who received the MMR vaccine and developed autism because they were too young to be diagnosed. The 2001 California study also included Natalie Smith, then head of immunization in California, in its list of coauthors, as well as an attendee to the illegal Simpsonwood Meeting in June 2000 where officials discussed bringing down statistical connections between thimerosal and neurodevelopmental disorders while hiding data from the public.
The second author of the California thimerosal study, Judith Grether, prior to joining the California Department of Public Health was an epidemiologist for the March of Dimes, a charity founded on the premise of developing an effective polio vaccine. She coauthored a paper in 2002 with Lisa Croen of the Health Management Organization, Kaiser Permanente, to argue against a real rise in autism. Croen and Grether later retracted their findings after having their errors were pointed out to them by a research team led by Mark Blaxill, along with fellow autism father and professor of neurosurgery Dr. David Baskin of the Baylor College of Medicine and McGill epidemiologist Professor Walter Spitzer.
Ultimately, affiliations and prior discrediting on autism research makes it not surprising that the coauthors, Schechter and Grether, ignored a major artificial bias that would turn a decrease, especially in the youngest cases, post-reduction of thimerosal into an increase, not unlike the Denmark studies, the Swedish data, or Eric Fombonne's "study." The public's knowledge of the thimerosal-autism link has been greatly skewed ever since.
Another familiar misinformant is Arthur Allen, author of "Vaccine: The Controversial Story of Medicine's Greatest Lifesaver," having written on his blog, "The most convincing evidence comes from California, where the number of 3-to-5 year old children diagnosed with autism has doubled over the last five years, although children now being diagnosed with autism received little or no thimerosal-containing vaccines."
USA Today also repeats this inaccuracy, claiming "autism rates continued to rise after Thimerosal was removed from virtually all child vaccines in 2001," even linking to Schechter and Grether's completely flawed study.
Even worse, the California Department of Public Health study is widely cited to claim that thimerosal is safe, and therefore fine to leave at preservative levels in seasonal flu shots routinely recommended for pregnant woman and children, despite the fact that the thimerosal exceeds EPA safety limits.
What is truly sad is that this big hungry lie continues to be repeated in order to justify the population-wide poisoning of countless infants and fetuses.

Only slightly more than half of 2011 law school graduates found full-time, long-term jobs that require bar passage nine months after they graduated, according to employment figures released on June 18 by the American Bar Association.
Correction: The original version of this story misreported the percentage of graduates that the University of Miami School of Law sent into school-funded jobs. The correct percentage is 12.5. The American Bar Association mistakenly doubled that number in reporting its data.

Chinese restaurant pioneers take rural town's last orders after 43 years
A rural community is bidding farewell to the family behind the town's first and only Chinese restaurant and celebrating their role in diversifying its culinary palate.
Visit any country town in Australia and there is a very likely chance you will find at least one Cantonese-style restaurant to enjoy a meal.
But this was not always the case.
When Allan and Patricia Ho arrived in the rural community of Condobolin, in central-west New South Wales, in 1976, they saw a business opportunity too good to pass up.
Encouraged by friends, they established the town's first Chinese take-away and dine-in restaurant.
"It was so scary though, because it was only myself," Mr Ho said.
"A lot of people, when you walk out there, they looked at you [like you're] different. That time, you're alone, with a different culture."

Fitting into the community
Mr Ho persisted and now, after serving thousand meals over the past 40 years, the 71-year-old is finally hanging up his apron and wok and moving on.

It is a new chapter for the Malaysian-born chef who has built a strong bond with the people in the farming community.
"I live here so long, make so many friends, it's more [like a] family," he said.
"If I go out there [now people say], 'Oh how are you brother?' It doesn't matter what colour you are.
"It makes you feel so welcome."
Mr Ho says the Oriental Chinese Restaurant would not have been a success without Patricia's help.
She swapped her life in the bustling city of Bangkok for the quiet streets of Condobolin, a town of 3,500 people.
"When we first came here I find it was very isolated," Ms Ho said.

Hard work brings prosperity
Life changed after the Hos' children were born and started attending the local schools.
The couple became involved in the town's sporting clubs and Ms Ho took up sewing courses at the local TAFE and later started a side business.
Their efforts put their three daughters through school and ultimately they each graduated from university — the first generation of the family to achieve that goal.
"[It was] very important to see the children got [an] education to see the success of all the children," Ms Ho said.
"I'm very proud of my three girls and proud of ourselves to stick together to make it happen."

The couple's youngest daughter Cindy recalled childhood memories of growing up surrounded by aromas and flavours from the busy restaurant, which became a second home.
"[I was] helping out from as early as I can remember and mainly sleeping and doing my homework in the restaurant while mum and dad were working," Cindy said.
"I was here more often than I was at our other house."
Celebrating family's contribution
Hairdresser Leanne Anderson runs a salon across the road from the family's restaurant.
She remembers giving Ms Ho her first haircut after she moved to town and has done the same for the rest of the family ever since.

"[Patricia] couldn't speak one word of English," Ms Anderson said.
"But she always came back so we must have communicated somehow."
Ms Anderson went to the effort of organising a farewell party for the family to celebrate their contribution to the town's social life.
"I think it's been a big part of their life and their girls have grown up here," she said.
"To be a part of a small community that appreciated them is probably why they stayed for so long."

Introducing new flavours to town
As the first and only remaining Chinese restaurant in Condobolin, the Ho family introduced new culinary flavours to the community, long-time resident and councillor Dennis Brady said.
"At the time, when Allan came, the only restaurants we ever had here were two Greek cafes," he said.
"To have something that was different, having a Chinese one, made a different palate.
"It was good food, otherwise they wouldn't be in business for 43 years later."
As president of the town's chamber of commerce, Mr Brady is pleased to see the business continue under a new owner, especially when many shops are struggling through the drought.
"Allan has sold his business to somebody else so the connection is going to stay there and that's good as well," he said.
"I hope the new person who comes on is here for another 43 years."
PHOTO: Allan and Patricia Ho are leaving Condobolin to be closer to their daughters who now live and work in Melbourne. (ABC Central West: Luke Wong)
Allan and Patricia Ho will be moving interstate to join two of their daughters who now live in Melbourne.
Mr Ho said it was hard to leave behind the small town that he and his family had called home for so many years.
"Condo's people [are] so nice," Mr Ho said.
"You feel like you want to live here all the time."
While you're here … are you feeling curious?

Q: How to access C# class from Javascript I have a class named book in C#. In an ASPX page (which has access to book class), I have an iframe element. I want to use Javascript from the page in the iframe, to call book.write(), but I'm not sure if I can call a C# method from a page inside an iframe using Javascript.
How I can do that?

A: You will have to make postback using javascript to the server with some parameters and then the server side can access the required class and function as per the parameter.

A: c# = server side, JavaScript = client side. You cannot directly interact with one from the other.
The best you can do is to have some sort of postback, (through a button click, or other method) which would then call the method in your book class.
To execute JavaScript code from c#, you need to write a JavaScript call in your rendered page, from a post back.

A: There's no way you can access a C# class by using JavaScript - Never, you can't do it. All you can do is use <% ... %> and then call your class method through that.
Here's an example:
Your class has a method LIKE this (note that you must declare the method as public to access it on your page):
public String Hello()
{
    return "Hello!";
}

And then you want to diplay it in your ASPX page by this:
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <input type="button" value="Test" onclick="alert('<%= Hello() %>')" />
    </form>
</body>

A: Try AJAX,in your aspx.cs file,add this
 [WebMethod]
public static string CallCSharpCode(){
    new book().write();
}

use AJAX call the method,
 $.ajax({
    type : "POST",
    contentType : "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    url : "your aspx page.aspx/CallCSharpCode",
    dataType : "json",
    success : function (data) {
        var obj = data.d;
        //your code
    },
    error : function (result) {
        //your code
    }
 });

Parčić falu Horvátországban Šibenik-Knin megyében. Közigazgatásilag Kistanjéhez tartozik.

Fekvése
Knintől légvonalban 28, közúton 42 km-re nyugatra, községközpontjától 16 km-re északnyugatra Dalmácia északi-középső részén, Bukovica területén fekszik.

Története
A falu Szent Margit temploma, a mai Szent Illés templom elődje már a 12. században állt. A környékbeli településekkel együtt 1527-ben elfoglalta a török, melynek uralma alól a 17. század végén szabadult fel. A szerbek betelepülése a 16. század elején kezdődött. Knin környékére már 1511-ben nagy számú szerb lakosság érkezett, majd főként Bosznia és Hercegovina területéről 1523 és 1527 között Dalmácia területére is sok szerb települt. Nagyobb arányú szerb betelepülés történt a 17. század végén, amikor Madi Milković hajdúvezér betelepítési megbízottként irányította, Krmpote és Parčić vidékének 1693-as telekosztását. A templom közelében egykor bencés kolostor állt, melynek hovatartozásáról a 17. század végén és a 18. század elején elhúzódó per zajlott a medviđai katolikusok és a likai és nyugat-boszniai szerb betelepülők között. 1805-ben egész Dalmáciával együtt a Francia Császárság része lett. 1815-ben a bécsi kongresszus újra Ausztriának adta, amely a Dalmát Királyság részeként Zárából igazgatta 1918-ig. A településnek 1857-ben 363, 1910-ben 562 lakosa volt. Az első világháború után előbb a Szerb-Horvát-Szlovén Királyság, majd Jugoszlávia része lett. 1991-ben teljes lakossága szerb nemzetiségű volt. Szerb lakói még ez évben csatlakoztak a Krajinai Szerb Köztársasághoz. A horvát hadsereg 1995 augusztusában a Vihar hadművelet során foglalta vissza a települést. Szerb lakói elmenekültek. A településnek 2011-ben 22 lakosa volt, akik földműveléssel, állattartással foglalkoztak.

Lakosság

Nevezetességei
Szent Illés próféta tiszteletére szentelt pravoszláv templomát nyugatról Medviđa felől mintegy egy kilométer hosszú aszfaltozatlan úton lehet megközelíteni. Megtalálni nem nehéz, mert egy kerek tavacska felett emelkedő festői dombtetőn áll, melyet a nép Maricának nevez. A templom a 12. században épült még katolikus templomként román stílusban és eredetileg Szent Margit tiszteletére volt szentelve. Építési stílusát, falazási technikáját tekintve a benkovaci terület hasonló templomaihoz áll közel. Egyszerű, egyhajós épület aránylag széles, félköríves apszissal. Hosszúsága nyolc és fél, szélessége öt és fél méter. Oldalfalai belül félkörös ívekkel tagoltak és három erős, négyszög metszetű lizénát tartanak. A bejárata feletti lunettában egy kör közepén elhelyezett kereszt dombormű látható. A homlokzaton elhelyezett felirat a templom 18. századi megújításáról emlékezik meg. A templom körül több régi sírkő található.

Medium: I most enjoy working with watercolors because it's easier to blend the colors together and if you add it to dark you can just add water to lighten it. I wish that I had explored chalk paste more.
Sketchbook: I found drawing the sign language hands beneficial. I selected this above the others because hands are hard to draw so getting a chance to practice drawing them everyday helped me to improve. Also you didn't have to think of what you were going to drew you just had to draw a hand in the different letters.
Do over: If I could I would do my two-in-one project (sea turtle and flowers) again. I would do it over because I don't like the color the ocean behind the turtle turned out. Also I don't like how most of the flowers are close to the same color. I would make sure that I made the ocean color lighter and more blue than green but I would keep the little accents of white and light green. I would also draw all the flowers and then start painting them so that they can be a wider variety of shades and colors.
Most Successful: The most successful project I did was the art journaling. I got the word superhero so it was something that I had looks of ideas for. I just had to figure out when to do what layer so that the idea of a burning city with the Avengers came out. It was fun but also difficult to pick what techniques to use and learning how to do them. If you didn't like how a layer came out you could just cover it with something else and I did that a couple times.
Regardless of Success: I learned and grew the most on the project were we had to combine two different characters. I learned how to combine features from two different images to make one. Also I had to figure out which features to keep and which to get rid of to make it look cohesive. I think I grew the most in this project because the individual characters that I drew before combining them are some of the best pictures that I have drawn.
I enjoyed doing the art journaling the first time that we did them in class. I was drawn to the fact that with an art journaling you have the freedom to combine multiple mediums and create one piece.
The most challenging part of the project was deciding what to base the piece on because you had to make the individual layers fit together to make it look like one piece.
I think that the piece was successful. I didn't really have a vision of what to do for the piece so I just took it one layer at a time. If I was going to do it again, I would not leave the tape on so long when I was making the diamonds so when I went to take it off the pages didn't come with it.

I picked weaving because it was something that I have never done before and I liked doing something new. I was drawn to the fact that you could use the yarn and create a picture, shapes, or just use different colors in lines.
The most challenging part of the project was working for the whole class period because you had to constantly weave the yarn back and forth. After a half-an-hour/forty-five minutes, I had to sit there and just take a break from staring at the string and yarn.
I think that it turned out very successfully. I think that it looks really close to what I had thought it would look like but if I did it again I would change some of the colors. I really like how the tan goes to brown, then to white and, then to light blue. I wish that I had used a different middle blue color though so that it would transition better from light blue to dark blue.
I stand for reading because you can go all sorts of places and learn many different things without ever leaving where you are.
1st Layer: Tissue paper, I did half the page in varying blues and the other half in varying colors of red/pink.
2nd Layer: Painted newspaper; I laid down a squared piece of newspaper and painted it white and drew the outline of the city on it. To cover up the little bits of newspaper that showed above the city outline I put on some more tissue paper.
3rd Layer: Bubble Wrap; I pressed the bubble wrap into black ink and put it on the paper inside of the outline to fill in the buildings.
4th Layer: Sponge; I put down strips of masking tape and took the sponge and put it between the strips. Then I took the tape strips off to create the look of lights on in the buildings.
5th Layer: Words; I took a stencil, and using black paint, put some common words from comic books on top of the tissue paper.
6th Layer: Superheroes; I cut out a picture from a comic book of the Avengers and glued in the middle of the words to create the main point of the piece.
Follow Cai's board Art Journaling on Pinterest.
We made the backgrounds using acrylic paint and drew and colored the animals. I worked with Aubrie and Katelyn. I painted some of the background and moved the pieces during the video. Aubrie drew/printed the animals and person, wrote the title and "the end" part, and took the pictures during the video. Katelyn did one of the backgrounds. I think the video was very successful and showed our idea well. In the future I would change it so that the camera is set in one place so that one person doesn't have to hold the camera the whole time.
My limitation was that I could only use my left hand to paint. I knew that drawing straight lines would be a problem so I choose to do watercolor to hide the wobbly lines. I also knew that remembering to not use my right hand would be hard so I made sure to do everything, like adding the water to the paint, using my left hand.
I learned that Styrofoam cups can actually be used to make art. Before this lesson I didn't know that people actually made art out of them. I learned that cutting the cups to get a straight line is difficult because of the way that Styrofoam is. Also I learned that using just regular white glue to try and glue pieces together doesn't work well because the glue doesn't keep the pieces together. Any one who does this style often most have a lot of patience to get the lines perfect so I have respect now for their Styrofoam pieces. I think the piece is successful because I didn't just cut pieces away, I glued them back on to parts of the cup. If I were to do this again I would come up with what I wanted to do before I started cutting and I would try to make the shapes that I cut out have straighter outlines.
I learned that it's actually pretty easy to find things in nature that you can use to make other images. I kinda like how you make the piece of art take a picture and just walk away and over time it just goes away. The artist must really like what they do to take time to make a piece in this style and know that it probably won't be there in a week. I think this piece is successful because we made it look like their were more than one flower and they were getting blown away by the wind. I might consider making it a series of pictures, starting with all the flowers and ending with the pieces that made up the flowers.
I learned that working with clay you have to make sure that you don't make some of the parts to thin and that you also have to create places for the air to get out when the piece is fired. Also I learned that you have to use a technique were you scrap the two pieces of clay before putting them together and smoothing it over so that they won't fall off when the piece is dried and fired. This piece is successful because I wanted it to look similar to Dory from Finding Nemo and I think that I accomplished that. Also I think it's successful because of the way I got the tail to go from one shade of yellow to another. If I was to do this again I would change the shape of the head to make it a little bit bigger to make it more of the shape of Dory. Also I won't make it as thick in the front because when you look at it from the front it looks kinda fat and creepy looking.
The difference between stealing and getting inspiration is that stealing is taking another person's work and saying that it's yours. Where as inspiration is taking the an idea or part of the work and adding your own ideas to it to create an original piece.
I think that it is okay to use parts of other works as long as you say who you got the idea or part of the piece from. Also if you do take a part of a piece you should make sure that the final piece is completely different and your own so that know one things that you just took the work that inspired you.
I combined the pieces that I did because sea turtles have always been one of my favorite animals and adding flowers to make the shell just seem like the perfect thing.
I choose to use acrylic paint because I find painting fun and I thought it would be the easiest medium to get all different colors out of so that the flowers weren't all the same.
If I could go back and change one thing about my piece it would be the color I did the background. I wish that I had done a lighter, more sea like color so that you could see the fins and head of the turtle better.
The most successful thing about my piece is the fact that I managed to get different types of flowers on the shell and they were more than one color. Another thing I thought was successful was the way I added white and a light green to show the movement of the water and turtle.
The hardest mini lesson was the charcoal object because you had to learn how to use a new medium and it was hard to make it have different shades of darkness. The forced perspective photo was the easiest mini lesson because you were working in a group so you had more than one person coming up with the ideas.
I used a picture of a stack of books from the internet for inspiration. Then I added the titles of books I really enjoyed to make it original. A unique idea that I used was having a cheerleading trophy instead of just general objects that people think of when you say cheerleading.
Every time that I added something to the picture I stopped to look at the entire thing, to see if it all went well together. Before I even started drawing on the large piece of paper I did thumbnails with various different objects. I did that until I found a combination of objects that I thought looked good together and really showed who I am because that was the whole point of the still-life drawing.


SX-70/Time Zero films are used by the SX-70/Time Zero Cameras.
Notes: Made with leftover chemicals from a Polaroid plant after it shutdown which is why the colors are a bit off. But the creativity shown by users of this film ignores that "problem".
Notes: This was the film introduced with the original SX-70 camera. This was just as much a breakthrough product as the original Polacolor (i.e. Type 48) film was in 1963. It's truly a marvel of chemical engineering, if you stop to think about it.
This film was replaced with SX-70 Time-Zero film around 1980.
Produced: 198?-2006 / Original Price: $?.??
Notes: Similar to the original SX-70 film, but had improved color rendition and much faster development time (hence the "Time-Zero" part of the name).
Produced: 19??-2006 / Original Price: $?.??
Notes: Professional markets version of SX-70 Time-Zero film.
Produced: 19??- 200? / Original Price: $?.??
Notes: Same as Type 778, but lacks self-contained battery pack. Intended for use with non-powered backs where the battery is unnecessary.

A very young and promising Islandic prog-rock band
With an average age of nearly 23 years old Icelandic Classic Prog-Rockers THE VINTAGE CARAVAN show a maturity worthy of any band that has been on the r oad for decades. When the band got on stage at the 2012 edition of the Icelandic Eistnaflug festival, the trio was only allowed to enter the venue accompanied by their parents. The attending music fans and journalists were therefore not prepared to the following spectacle.
After their triumph at Eistnaflug and heavily impressing more foreign journalists THE VINTAGE CARAVAN became a serious buzz also outside of Iceland. Germany's giant Wacken Open Air was soon to follow and meanwhile leading Rock/Metal label Nuclear Blast had discovered the young talents and struck a deal
What followed was an astonishing amount of shows: European tours -including UK and Scandinavia- alongside bands like the legendary EUROPE, BLUES PILLS, GRAND MAGUS and ORCHID. In 2016 the band even started going out on their own headline tours across Europe, UK and South-America. On top the band has been playing numerous festivals such as Roskilde, Wacken (2x), Hellfest, Summerbreeze,… to name a few.
Now 3 years after their first Eitstnaflug appearance THE VINTAGE CARAVAN have released 2 full albums and are currently working on a 3rd record to be released in the Fall of 2017. Before releasing the album, the band will do a last headline run throughout Scandinavia and play multiple festivals across Europe.

Berlin Viktoriapark Water Fight
Every month throughout the summer, Water-Fight-Flash-Mobs are being organized through Facebook. Those Water Fights, where only water is allowed, have nothing to do with the Oberbaum Water Fight where other harmless objects can be used.
The water fight today was located in the Viktoriapark, an urban park in the locality of Kreuzberg, on the top of an artificial waterfall at the foot of the Schinkel's National Monument.
About 50 People gathered with Super Soakers, buckets and everything that can hold water to splash it in other people's faces. Just a normal Sunday afternoon in Kreuzberg.
LEGO Discovery Berlin Miniature City
Berlin Landmarks built of bricks, not the usual kind of bricks, but LEGO bricks. The LEGO Discovery Center Berlin is a huge underground playground with many attractions, but while the majority of those attractions is aimed for a younger audience, the miniature versions of Berlins most famous landmarks are quite impressive.


All homeowners want to ensure their garage doors are free from hazards and safe to use. This concern naturally gets stronger when there are children at the property. The best way to keep your door hazard-free is through regular professional inspections and maintenance upkeep – however, accidents are not always caused by following doors or snapped springs.
Read on for our basic safety advice when it comes to protecting your family from a potentially dangerous door system.
This can happen to adults and children alike, if your door has stopped automatically closing, you should be careful not to put your hands on the edge of the door to pull it open or closed. It's much safer to install a handle in the event you need to open your door manually if there isn't one in place already. We also recommend you generally keep young kids away from the door when it's in motion, you never know when there is a dangerous malfunction waiting to surprise you.
It's possible for panels to either break or come loose following knocks and dents – you should inspect your door for any sharp edges, especially if you have a window or glass panels installed. Panel edges can be surprisingly sharp which is why you should never touch or attempt to replace them yourself, especially with naked hands.
It's important to give attention to the small parts that make up your system – like screws, bolts, brackets and other components of similar size. Just simply checking everything is properly screwed in and adjusted could save you a lot of trouble later by preventing the risk of major parts working themselves loose and causing an accident.
It goes without saying that remote controls, which many children see as the perfect toy, must be kept in places that can't be reached by young people. Similarly, you should ensure that the wall switch cannot be reached by small, curious individuals!
As we've mentioned, the best way to minimize the threats posed by your garage door is to book an annual safety and maintenance check with our professionals – just contact us at Garage Door Repair Duluth to arrange an appointment!

Jessica Leeds, a businesswoman at a paper company who was sitting next to Donald Trump on a flight to New York in the early 1980s, at her home in New York on Oct. 11, 2016. Leeds, who had never met Trump before, said that on the flight he lifted the armrest and began to touch her.
Two women told the New York Times Wednesday that Donald Trump touched them inappropriately, just days after he said during the second presidential debate that while he had made crude remarks about women, he never acted upon them.
Similar allegations were also made Wednesday by a woman in the Palm Beach Post, and by a writer for People magazine.
Trump denies all the allegations.
The New York Times reports that Jessica Leeds and Rachel Crooks say they were touched without their consent by the Republican nominee for President. Neither women reported their accounts to authorities or publicly shared their stories — which have not been independently verified by TIME — before speaking with the Times.
Leeds, 74, said that more than three decades ago, she sat beside Trump in the first-class cabin of a flight to New York. Trump lifted the armrest about 45 minutes after the plane took off, and began to touch her, grabbing her breasts and attempting to put his hands up her skirt, she said.
"It was an assault," Leeds said. She was 38 at the time.
Leeds' and Crooks' allegations follow a leaked tape of Trump, in 2005, in which he used vulgar language to boast of using his star to "do anything" to women.
Trump denied the women's' claims, telling the Times, "None of this ever took place." He threatened to sue the news organization if it reported the allegations and called the reporter who questioned him a "disgusting human being," according to the paper's report.
Both women told the Times they support Hillary Clinton for President and Crooks has made contributions of less than $200 to President Barack Obama and Clinton.
"These reports suggest that he lied on the debate stage and that the disgusting behavior he bragged about in the tape are more than just words," Palmieri said.
The allegations are not isolated. On Wednesday night, People published a personal essay by its writer Natasha Stoynoff recounting a 2005 interview with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate, in Palm Beach, Fla. During a private tour of the mansion, Stoynoff alleges, the candidate sexually assaulted her.
Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks denied McGillivray's claim.
Amid the allegations, a video recorded in 1992 for an Entertainment Tonight Christmas feature surfaced Wednesday evening showing Trump, 46 at the time, looking at a group of young girls on an escalator, and saying he would be dating one of them in 10 years.


Java Script is one of those pseudo-languages which was developed by Netscape. It has nothing to do with Sun's Java programming language but it is useful for allowing some limited programming on either the client (your PC) or the server (the computer which hosts the website).
It is important to remember that nothing can go out to the web page while working in the script other than by way of the document.write (also, don't forget the parentheses).
It is important to remember to include the parentheses and the quotes. Also, note that there is no automatic break between multiple document.write statements so these statements will be rendered as concatenated text in the browser.
Remember: You can not allow any HTML tags in the script program except those that appear within the document.write(" ") statement.
x="
Note that the constant is case sensitive
"
Did you notice that not all the lines of code were rendered? The script continued to work until it encountered the "document.write(HI) which it could not resolve. The script just stops at this point and flushes to the </SCRIPT> As a matter of fact, there was a valid line afterward but it never printed. Your browser might also warn you that there was a problem and ask you if you want to debug. IE tells you the line the error occurred and says that HI is not defined.

Gila jail officers violated policies prior to inmate suicide
Detention officers failed on headcount, overlooked mental health warning signs.
By: Melissa Blasius
A 40-year-old inmate, with a history of suicide attempts, hanged himself in a Gila County jail cell when detention officers failed to properly supervise him, according to an internal investigation.
The family of Gene "Chad" Beason can only cling to memories of better times, like a 2018 trip to Tombstone. It was the last Chad's sister, Kimberly Pope, saw him alive.
"We had fun, we rode the motorcycles, we just had a good time," Pope said tearfully.
Beason struggled with mental illness and drugs. He was in and out of jail. In December 2018, he was booked on an assault charge in the Gila County Jail. The jail, located in Globe, is about 90 miles east of Phoenix.
On Christmas Day, Beason was found dead inside his cell.
Before Beason was discovered, detention officers walked by his cell four times in 90 minutes, according to video obtained from the Gila County Sheriff's Office. The officers were on security walks and doing official headcounts, but not one looked, or even verbally checked, on Beason.
"That's why they are in jail - to be watched," Chad's father, Gordon Beason, said.
In the video, a blanket can be seen covering Beason's cell door, blocking the view inside. According to GCSO reports, Beason made a rope from strips of fabric, and he hanged himself from the bunk bed.
"That person that's in there, that's somebody's child, that's somebody's brother, that's somebody's dad, and because of their neglect to check him, we don't have him no longer," Pope said.
"We have the protocols. We have the training. We have everything else, and we're still dealing with human beings," Gila County Sheriff Adam Shepherd said.
Gila County detention officers have violated policies on other occasions, and some violations could have resulted in civil rights abuses.
Last week, ABC15 reported a woman with mental illness resorted to drinking out of her toilet after detention officers cut off water to her cell for two days. One detention sergeant was demoted for failing to create a "dry cell" log. A Globe judge also demanded changes after jail staff repeatedly ignored court orders, including holding inmates behind bars longer than their release dates.
Beason's family filed a notice of claim, a precursor to a lawsuit, against the sheriff and Gila County. The claim stated Chad Beason's death was preventable, and the Gila County Jail failed to provide "standard of care" both in medical treatment and detention. The family is asking for $2 million for Beason's kids.
In recorded internal affairs interviews, the detention officers and their supervisors explained how they violated jail policies.
"I feel really bad, and to this day, I think part of it is my fault," Detention Officer Marylyn Lee said.
"There were breakdowns in the security walk," Investigator Chris McGroarty said. "Would you agree or disagree?"
"I agree," Detention Officer Justin "Lance" Goad said.
According to jail policy, detention officers are required to check on inmates at least every 30 minutes, and they must see inmates in the flesh. Blankets are not supposed to cover doors.
"I remember seeing the blanket up," Officer Joseph Casteneda said. "I remember thinking, 'I am going to tell this guy to knock it down,' and I don't know why I didn't."
Detention officers admitted they often let the blanket rule slide.
"I like to give them privacy," Detention Officer Marylyn Lee said. "I smelled the odor of poop, and I thought he was using the restroom."
None of the detention officers involved communicated with each other about the blanket on the door. Goad told ABC15 he would have been more likely to check on Beason if he had known about the inmate's mental health issues.
Other detention officers and supervisors who worked with Beason were aware of the red flags.
"He said he was hearing voices of his family," said Detention Officer Andrew Bradford. He has interacted with Beason on December 23, two days prior to his suicide. The sergeant who booked Beason that day had noted past self-harm or suicide attempts. She indicated in a report Beason had "cut himself" while "in this jail before."
A mental health crisis worker from Community Bridges also evaluated Beason in jail. The report said he was "hearing voices" and he was "paranoid" and "anxious." The mental health worker concluded Beason was "low risk" to himself, so jail supervisors chose not to put him on suicide watch.
"If we all started caring a little more, I think we go a long ways," Detention Officer Andrew Bradford said.
In interviews with inmates in a common area near Beason's cell, investigators learned Beason had been coughing in his cell for 15 to 20 minutes. One inmate eventually pulled back the blanket and found Beason hanging. Jail employees responded, but their life-saving efforts didn't work.
"Everybody makes mistakes. It was just one of those days," Goad said.
Gordon Beason thinks it is more than that. "They neglected their job period," Beason said.
Sheriff Shepherd declined to answer most questions about Chad Beason's death, citing the pending litigation. However, his staff did release the internal investigation, including pictures and video from the jail.
"Every case that we have that doesn't go as well as it should have is a light bulb to us." Sheriff Shepherd said.
Detention officer Lance Goad resigned during the internal investigation. Four others were suspended without pay.
Sheriff's officials say the "no blanket on door" policy is now strictly enforced, and they have increased mental health services in the Globe Jail. They say all inmates get an initial mental health screening at booking. Also, a Community Bridges worker is at the jail four days a week, and a mental health nurse practitioner is made available to inmates who need a higher level of care.
Beason's family said the officer discipline and policy changes are too little, too late.
"His [Chad's] kids will never get to have him to be at their wedding, at the high school graduation, go off to college, and whatever they want to do in their lives," Pope said.
