Alex Murdaugh Charged With Taking Insurance Money in Maid's Death
The South Carolina lawyer managed to secure more than $4 million from his insurers for the maid's death but did not give her heirs any of it, according to a separate lawsuit filed by her sons -- one twist in an on-going saga surrounding the Murdaugh family

A prominent South Carolina lawyer has been charged with stealing insurance settlements meant for the sons of his late housekeeper that a lawsuit said total more than $4 million, state police said Thursday.
Alex Murdaugh was arrested at a drug rehab facility in Orlando, Florida, where his attorneys said he has spent the past six weeks since claiming he was shot in the head on the side of a lonely road near his home, authorities said.
The arrest is the latest development in six state police investigations into Murdaugh, including the deaths of his wife and son, millions of dollars missing from the huge law firm founded a century ago by his great-grandfather and trying to arrange his own death so his surviving son could collect on a $10 million life insurance policy.
Thursday's arrest on two felony counts of obtaining property by false pretenses involves Murdaugh's housekeeper for decades, Gloria Satterfield, the State Law Enforcement Division said in a statement.

Murdaugh Family: New to Spotlight, But Longtime Legal Force in Tiny South Carolina Town

Lawsuit: Alex Murdaugh Orchestrated Plan to Frame Passenger After Son's Fatal Boat Crash
Murdaugh told Satterfield's sons at her February 2018 funeral that he would get insurance settlements for her death and take care of them, according to a lawsuit filed by the sons. Murdaugh managed to secure more than $4 million from his insurers, but he only told the sons about a $500,000 settlement and then never sent them a dime, the lawsuit said.
Murdaugh took the settlement money by creating a fraudulent bank account with a name similar to a legal consulting firm that handles settlements, the lawsuit said.
Satterfield's family called it a bittersweet day in a statement released by their attorneys.
"Avarice and betrayal of trust are at the heart of this matter," lawyers Eric Bland and Ronald Richter said in their statement.
The Murdaugh family told the sons their mother tripped over the family dog and died weeks later from her lingering injuries. The death was never reported to the Hampton County coroner, who asked state police to investigate why she was not called to review what she would consider an accidental death.
The sons also took Murdaugh's advice to hire attorney Cory Fleming to be executor of their mother's estate without telling them Fleming was a longtime friend, old college roommate and godfather to at least one of Murdaugh's sons.
The law licenses of both Fleming and Murdaugh have been suspended as the investigations continue.
Murdaugh is being held at the Orange County jail in Florida to await extradition, investigators said. His lawyers promised at a bond hearing on different charges last month that Murdaugh would return to South Carolina without a fight if charged with additional crimes.
Murdaugh's lawyers said in a statement that he "intends to fully cooperate with this investigation, as he has with the investigation into the murder of his wife and son. He deeply regrets that his actions have distracted from the efforts to solve their murders."
The deaths of Murdaugh's son and wife at their Colleton County home in June remain unsolved. Murdaugh said he found Maggie Murdaugh, 52, and their son Paul, 22, shot to death after he returned home from visiting his father in the hospital, according to authorities.
In September, Murdaugh was charged with insurance fraud and other counts after reporting that his head was grazed by a bullet when someone attempted to shoot him.
Curtis "Eddie" Smith is charged with firing at Murdaugh. He told The Associated Press last month that Murdaugh asked for his help on Sept. 4 but didn't tell him he wanted Smith to shoot him until he was on the side of the road.
Smith said the gun went off as he tried to prevent Murdaugh from shooting himself. He bristled at suggestions from Murdaugh's lawyers that he was a drug dealer, saying he was good friends with Murdaugh after the attorney helped him in a worker's compensation case.
"With a friend like that, who needs enemies?" Smith told an AP reporter as he limped around his property.
Smith said last month that he wasn't sure if the bullet hit Murdaugh or not, saying he grabbed the gun, immediately drove away and ditched the weapon.
In an interview with TODAY aired Thursday, Smith said he was 1,000% certain Murdaugh was not shot.
"There was no blood on me; there was no blood on him," Smith said.
Murdaugh's lawyers have said they saw medical records showing Murdaugh was covered in blood when taken by helicopter to a hospital but have not shown them to the public.
The Thursday arrest is just another step in the long process for justice in all of the investigations, State Law Enforcement Division Chief Mark Keel said in a statement.
"As I have said previously, we are committed to following the facts wherever they may lead us and we will not stop until justice is served," Keel said.

(Reuters Health) - On weekday mornings, two healthy activities - exercise and sleep - compete with each other for time, researchers say.
As exercise increases, sleep decreases among those who wake up early to work out before heading to their jobs, the study authors report in the journal Sleep Health. At the same time, getting some exercise versus none during the day also helped people to sleep better.
"Sleep research has focused on the ways that sleep deprivation affects overall health, but at some point we began wondering what people were doing with the time they weren't sleeping," said senior study author Dr. Mathias Basner of the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine in Philadelphia.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society both recommend seven or more hours of sleep per night, yet more than a third of adults in the U.S. say they sleep less than that.
Basner and colleagues analyzed American Time Use Survey data for nearly 48,000 working men and women interviewed on a weekday between 2003 and 2016. As part of the survey, participants logged how they spent their time in the previous 24 hours.
Researchers found that people spent most of their time working and commuting. About 17 percent said they had exercised in the last 24 hours. Overall, long work hours were associated with both short sleep and low exercise rates. At the same time, those who exercised slept an average of 15 minutes less than those who didn't. In fact, sleep time dropped as exercise time increased.
The strongest association between exercise and sleep was seen among people who exercised between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. or between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. Exercise for up to an hour either in the morning or the evening was not associated with significantly shorter sleep.
Basner and colleagues were surprised to find that in contrast to previous advice about not exercising before bed, those who got physical activity later at night seemed to still get plenty of sleep. Instead of harming sleep, exercising during the day, even if close to bedtime, might help people to sleep more deeply or fall asleep sooner, he said.
Family income and education levels influenced sleep time as well. Generally, those who earn more and have higher education tend to get less sleep, but they're also more likely to exercise. Although this study was based in the U.S., Basner speculates the same would apply in other developed countries.
"There is the impression that we are pressed for time now more than ever. This is probably due, in part, to exposure to more time-wasting things like social media, nevertheless, clearly for many people there is a perceived choice between healthy behaviors," said Shawn Youngstedt, a researcher at Arizona State University in Tempe who wasn't involved in the study.
A limitation of using American Time Use Survey data to study exercise and sleep, he said, is that "sleep" includes lying in bed and resting, which could skew the results.

Rights Groups Worried About The "Enslavement" of Youths In Eritrea, Months After End of Conflict
Young Eritreans continue being forced into indefinite national service. Human rights groups and the UN continue to be worried that the government has no plan to end its conscription plan two decades after it started.
By Lionel Tarumbwa.
In a March 11, 2019 statement, international rights group Human Rights Watch (HRW) called on the Eritrean government to roll out a timeline for the dismantling of the compulsory national service that has been conscripting young Eritreans since its seceding from Ethiopia in 1995.
It has been months since a peace deal was signed between Eritrea and Ethiopia ending two decades of conflict yet youths in Eritrea are still facing compulsory "national service." This is despite the fact that Asmara promised the last recruits to national service that it would last no more than 18 months at the time of the signing of the peace agreement.
Although the initial pretext for conscription no longer exists, the statements that it will be disintegrated are probably only political rhetoric, says Fisseha Tekle, a human rights researcher on Eritrea and Ethiopia for Amnesty International.
"For the last 15 years, they were blaming Ethiopia. That excuse is no longer there, so it is high time for them to stop this scheme."
Activists and human rights groups have condemned and compared the national service to "legislative slavery." The recruits live under tough conditions, earning only a pittance (reported to be less than US$60 a month) and continue to be isolated from family and friends under inhumane conditions.
At its inception in 1995, the national duty was supposed to last no more than 18 months in an effort to rebuild the country after a 30-year conflict for independence. However, when a border dispute broke out with Ethiopia in 1998, Asmara introduced indefinite service with several recruits having been in the service for almost 20 years.
Eritrean teenagers in their last year of high school are transferred into a military camp before going straight into six months of military training after graduating high school. If one is lucky enough to score good enough grades, they might attend college and be given a civilian role. But the only way out is to leave the country. In its own report, Amnesty International quotes students who have come to view the education system as a trap that leads them straight to the jaws of a system to which there is no escape.
In its statement to the United Nations Human Rights Council, HRW says, "Conscripts continue to be used for commercial projects, as well as military and civil duties. Their pay remains inadequate and reports of abuses, including torture, persist. This Council's Commission of Inquiry labelled Eritrea's national service "enslavement."
It is not uncommon for several members of one family to be recruited all at once and posted to different parts of the country. The return of a member of a family may often feel like one is returning from the battlefront. The conscripts often spend months away from their family and there have been reports that most are denied official leave to visit their families. A special UN Commission of Inquiry report in June 2016 stated that "crimes against humanity have been committed in a widespread and systematic manner in Eritrean military training camps and other locations".
Young Eritreans continue to leave the country, taking the treacherous journey, a trek through valleys of death, at the risk of being charged with treason if the escape bid fails. Hoards of them often find themselves on the shores of Libya in a bid to make the deadly and dangerous voyage through the Mediterranean. According to UN figures, as many as 5,000 Eritreans flee each year in search of greener pastures.

This is one of the first monographs to deal with the metric theory of spatial mappings and incorporates results in the theory of quasi-conformal, quasi-isometric and other mappings. The main subject is the study of the stability problem in Liouville's theorem on conformal mappings in space, which is representative of a number of problems on stability for transformation classes. To enable this investigation a wide range of mathematical tools has been developed which incorporate the calculus of variation, estimates for differential operators like Korn inequalities, properties of functions with bounded mean oscillation, etc. Results obtained by others researching similar topics are mentioned, and a survey is given of publications treating relevant questions or involving the technique proposed. This volume will be of great value to graduate students and researchers interested in geometric function theory.

SWAN ESTHER
Music by Nick Munns; Lyrics by J. Edward Oliver; based on the Bible story of Esther
Young Vic, London - 7 January, 1984
The story of Esther is a simple one. It is of a delightful girl who won a beauty contest and received, as first prize, the hand of the King of Persia.
It all began when the King decided to run a splendid party to celebrate the third year of his reign. At the same time his wife, Queen Vashti, was running her own party. After seven days of celebrations the King commanded his chamberlains to collect the beautiful Queen Vashti so that he could show her off to all his guests.
Unbelievably, the Queen refused to appear. As well as infuriating the King, this behaviour was thought to set a bad example to all the wives of the kingdom and so it was decided to get rid of the disobedient Queen.
It was agreed that a nation-wide beauty contest should be organised in order to find a new queen.
It so happened that there lived in the King's palace an old minstrel by the name of Mordecai. This wise old man, a Median, was the guardian of his late uncle's daughter, a beautiful girl called Esther. When Mordecai heard of the nation-wide search for a new queen he thought Esther would be a certainty and so he took her back to the man in charge of the competitors. Mordecai made a point of telling Esther not to mention that she was a Median.
The main competitors were kept in the palace for a year for special grooming and, of these, the most popular became Esther. When she was finally presented to the King she was immediately chosen to be his Queen.
Soon after Esther became Queen, Mordecai overheard two of the King's chamberlains plotting to kill the King. This he told Esther who immediately told her husband. The conspirators were arrested, tried and hanged. The King made a special note of Mordecai's name as he had undoubtedly saved his life.
After this incident the King decided to appoint a man in charge of his court. He chose Haman, a ruthless and ambitious man, who immediately began to throw his weight about and expecting everyone to bow and scrape to him. This Mordecai refused to do saying he was a Median and Medians bow only to God.
Haman was so infuriated that he devised a plan to rid the Kingdom, not only of Mordecai but also of all Medians and he managed to get the King to agree to this plan.
Mordecai was horrified when he heard of Haman's plan and discussed the matter with Esther.
She had to devise her own plan as she was forbidden to visit the King unless he sent for her.
She decided to glamorise herself and appear at the door of his private apartment. The King was overjoyed to see her and said he would grant her anything she desired. Her wish, she said, was for the King and his Chief Adviser, Haman, to have dinner with her that night. They agreed to this request and had a very good evening and readily agreed when Esther asked them again for the following evening.
Meanwhile Haman was becoming increasingly incenced because Mordecai would not grovel to him and though it would be an excellent idea to erect a scaffold near to the Palace and hang Mordecai that evening.
That night the King could not sleep and he asked for the book of the chronicles to be read to him. The reader began with the most recent event which had been Mordecai's act of bravery. The King asked if he had been rewarded and was told that he had not. He asked Haman his advice as to what would be a just reward for faithfulness. Haman, thinking the King had himself in mind, made extravagant suggestions. Haman was devastated when the King sent him off to bestow all the suggested favours on Mordecai.
By now it was time for Esther's second dinner party which was even better that the first. The King wanted her to choose a special favour. Esther said she chose to save her people, and herself, who were decreed to be slain. The King was speechless when he heard that Haman had made this decree and ordered that he be hanged immediately on the gallows that had been erected to hang Mordecai.
Thus the wise and beautiful Esther served her master, the King, and saved her people, the Medians.

When it comes to funding a start-up, many knock the doors of banks, and venture capitalist while others look towards angel investors with hope. Getting angel investors on board has its own significance and advantages as compared to venture capitalist and banks.
Angel investors have high risk taking capacity and can turn the fortune of your company to a whole 360 degree. But to convince an angel investor is not an easy task. It is thus important to understand what exactly an angel investor wants to see in your business at the time of 'idea pitching'.
Any investor is hopeful to make a good gain in his/her investment. However, not all make profits in their investments. Any investor thus looks out for a viable exit strategy when he/she thinks that things don't work out as per their goals. While most of the angel investors are patient enough to encourage the company in tough times too but it is natural for any lender to know how you are going to pay back if things do not executes as par plan or the company suffers losses. Giving the rights to sale the shares or gaining money from the mergers are some of the common exit strategy investors look to safe-guard their interest.
Now-a-days many successful people want to invest into the areas which they have expertise in or in the areas they find thrilled about. Such investors not only want to share their money for your business but also ready to go an extra mile to make your entrepreneurial journey better and smoother. Investor these days want to have a say in your business for a greater success. They want to actively participate in developing your business by acting as a mentor for your company. By proving them such a liberty can not only make them feel valued but also helps your business with the expertise and knowledge that your angels carry.
Always remember that most of the angel investors are successful entrepreneurs who have plenty of surplus money in their bank accounts. They are already wealthy enough and do not need extra money to sustain their lavish lifestyle. They just want to hear an idea and want to invest their money for the idea that gives them a thrill. However, every angel investor has his/her own reasons for investing in any start-up. Experts have categorised such investors into three categories: the economic, the hedonistic and the altruistic.
An economic angel investor is more concerned about gaining extra money on his/her investment while a hedonistic angel investor is most attracted with the excitement of creating something new. Contrary, an altruistic angel investor is thrilled by helping the community with the success of start-up in terms of more job creation, allied economic progress and other. Therefore, it is necessary to do some basic research on knowing investor's thrill factor so that you can give extra stress on it during the investment pitch.
Entrepreneurs always want to impress investors with fascinating numbers concerning their future growth. Experts believe 90% of the businesses show dramatic initial growth numbers that most of the times go off-the-charts. Many refer to it as hockey stick and 99% of the time it does not make any impact on investors. Instead, unrealistic projections and unrealistic numbers can turn-off the mood of your angel and made them think again about investing in your idea. Smart investors like realistic numbers and impress by real-projections.
Leadership is what ultimately decides the future course of action for any enterprise. Investors are thus very much keen to know more about the people on your company's board. Angel investors get impressed if they see your business is in the hands of people who are knowledgeable, competent and trustworthy. A solid management team of numerous people who have proficiency in different aspects of business like marketing, sales, manufacturing, managing people and accounts creates a positive impression on investors' mind. Having such adept professionals on board with rich industry experience develops confidence amongst investors into your company's future.
Angel investors have many other mediums to invest their money like stocks, mutual funds and other financial instruments. However, when someone invests in any start-up, his/her expectation is much more than just getting money back after a stipulated period of time. Angel investors have high risk taking capacity and usually look for a much higher returns on their investment as they can get from the stock market. According to Allan Riding, a leading expert on angel investing- "For every dollar that an angel invests into a company, he or she would like to take seven dollars out, after taxes, in seven year." Therefore, if your idea does not promise a good returns over a period of significant time then it create problem convincing your angels.
Related: Why Angel Investors are good for your Business?
Angel investors get attracted more towards a company that have a solid business plans which can help company to survive even in the tough times. Such investors want to see a developed vision for your company which can help it to flourish all the times. They want to see that you have given though to every detail required to run a smooth business like financial projections, detailed marketing plans, and specifics about market.
In totality, if you have an idea that has the potential to revolutionize the industry or has the potential to become an industry standard after some time can make the angel investors to believe in your idea. Therefore, do a thorough check about the feasibility and economic prosperity of your idea before pitching your idea in front of angel investors.

To say that visual art and painting have innovated as much as possible is to stop just at the beginning of truly pushing the medium. My greatest inspirations in fine art have been the impressionists and artists from the 20th century, who I feel were some of the greatest catalysts in visual art.
I am inspired by Claude Monet and early works by Paul Signac for their observations in color, light, atmosphere, mood, and the way the human eye sees.
I am inspired by Van Gogh for his stylized use of color and brush strokes, for his personal expression and use of intuition. I am inspired by Thom Thompson's treks in the Canadian landscape and how he portrays nature as its own persona while progressing plein air painting techniques and the light and color techniques first developed by impressionists.
The infamous Charizard drawn by Ken Sugimori, the designer of the original 151 Pokemon.
I am inspired by American Western art, which was the original influence on cinematography, for its storytelling, composition, and lighting. Likewise, I am inspired by Japanese art, both traditional and manga styles, for storytelling and use of line and simplified forms. A few of the anime & manga influences I grew up with: Pokemon, Tsubasa Chronicle, Digimon, Yu-gi-oh! and then the many amazing films by Studio Ghibli.
Lastly, I'm inspired by Alex Colville for his ability to create a unique emptiness in mood through his use of texture and shape.
All these contemporary painters and illustrators demonstrate that the painting has much potential to progress further, and has greatly accelerated past dull, staged portraiture and overworked, contrived landscapes or images to describe religious scriptures.

Color & The Role of Black
For my art practice, color is perhaps the single most important tool in conveying emotion or thought. I like to work with the most subtle variations in light, texture, shape, line, and color and I like the viewer to spend time with the image, to inspire introspection. One of my ongoing aesthetic explorations is the use of color in linework, as opposed to relying on the black line. I question the impact of black lines and black as a color when conveying a feeling in relation to the colors around it as its role is usually taken for granted (eg. lineart is by default black). I see this as building on where the impressionists have left-off, expanding on their observations. My favorite color changes year to year, and I believe that's how strong we can connect with color to succinctly portray ourselves.
Art as a Document & Subject Matter
I see art as a communication tool just like writing, where aesthetic principles are like words. As the artist, I am the medium for the words to pass through into a artifact. I believe art encompasses all emotions, thoughts, and subjects, and so should never censor as such in order to only be decorative, safe, and pleasing because that is dishonest to the human experience and nature. No one is always happy, or sad, and life isn't always peaceful and kind. Nature is often brutal and morbid. Life is also full of danger and eroticism. There is a beauty found in documenting the darker side of life and the mind next to finding the joys, and I see my overall artistic practice as a documentary process. For this reason, I prefer to swing back and forth in this dynamic of light & dark subject matter.
The dark and surreal imagery of my art is influenced by haunting personal memories, intense emotions, taboos, and metaphoric dreams. I'm strongly inspired by Carl Jung psychology and his investigation into the role of dreams in our lives.
Some of my viewers tell me my art put into images darker thoughts and feelings they couldn't begin to put into words. I value such a real connection with my viewers and being able to make my viewer feel real and whole. I admire the work of Zdzisław Beksiński for his ability to do this on behalf of Polish citizens post WWII destruction. Despite him denying this was part of his works, his surreal imagery brought out the painfully bleak dread and remnants of death in the collective Polish psyche through its symbolism. I think there is much more potential in surrealism to convey thought and feeling than simply adding funky, weird elements that defy expectations of mundane sensory reality. Even Alex Coville's paintings, though not "officially" surrealist, step away from expected reality just subtly enough that it engages the subconscious.
Finding Order in Chaos
I love being lost in a book, a film, or music, and in searching for wisdom and beauty in nature. Imagery meditation is a tool incredibly important to my personal life and artistic exploration. I really enjoy finding order in chaos, which reflects the process of my work. For me, my work also feels like a meditation on a particular subject, or fleeting moment, or mood. In some of my work, I try convey that seemingly impossible sense of peace one experiences through meditation. I don't use meditation imagery as a divine ascension or self-actualization nor connection with imaginary gods, but more like a sense of finding balance. I am interested in exploring the portrayal of liminal space through art.
Although it may appear I cannot create dynamic, graphical compositions, it's usually an intentional aesthetic choice. I use square compositions or even thirds, vignettes to pull move the eye smoothly through an image back to the center focus, a subject near center or on center focus because it creates a sense of order in the chaos of visual information and diminishes tension. I give my subjects fairly neutral expressions because a piece is more about the overall atmosphere of the scene rather than the viewer projecting themselves onto the main subject, more like an omnipresent eye.
Summary of Artist Statement
All this combined, I make art that is inspired by the holistic presentation of life and nature as filtered through my personal experience, documenting beauty and chaos found in our environment, our nature and minds. I'm working from where contemporary 20th century Eastern and Western artists, like the impressionists and surrealists, left off in the visual arts. I am exploring conveying mood and atmosphere through the significance of color in a mixed media art practice.

Q: MQ Message integer property not updataing I have a MQ Message. In that, I add an Integer property called "Count" with the value 10. Then I reassign the value to 5 for the same property.But it is not getting updated.
MQMessage message = new MQMessage();
message.writeString("Test Message");
message.setIntProperty("Count", 10);
System.out.println("Count is" + message.getIntProperty("Count")); -->Prints 10
message.setIntProperty("Count",5);
System.out.println("Count is" + message.getIntProperty("Count")); --> Prints 10..But I am expecting 5..

A: Have you tried putting the message to a queue? If you actually put the message to a queue and get the same message back, you will see that updated value of the property is set in the message i.e. value of "Count" property will be 5, instead of 10.

Suboxone Clinic Indianapolis
Over the twenty or so years, opiate overdoses have risen dramatically in Indianapolis and across the United States. Doing a little bit of research on the matter; it is quite obvious that physicians have been over-prescribing opiates for two decades now. So much so that the CDC has recognized that overdose numbers have quadrupled in the last eighteen years. Incidentally, the number of prescriptions that physicians have written has also quadrupled over the last eighteen years.
When the DEA changed the hydrocodone products to Schedule 2 drugs, there was a dramatic increase in heroin overdoses that followed and still persists to this day. The War on Drugs has not been successful, other than to incarcerate many patients over opiate use. What they need is not incarceration; it is educational treatment! That is what Bridges of Hope provides - a suboxone clinic in Indianapolis.
Why the Need for a Suboxone Clinic in Indianapolis
When it comes to people with drug addictions, it may not seem like there are a lot of options available to them, and Indiana is still very old-fashioned, generally speaking, in its views regarding substance abuse and addiction, which means people are punished more than they are helped. Since there has been this huge increase in the number of people who have died from overdoses due to heroin and prescription opiates in the past two decades or so, we recognize the need for a suboxone clinic in Indianapolis, and we are filling that need.
In Indianapolis, the number of deaths from opiates is higher than traffic deaths. Suboxone is a treatment that can help people who become addicted to these substances get back to normal.
Why Use Suboxone?
Suboxone is a treatment that has been very successful in giving people their lives back. This treatment can help individuals function better, stay out of rehab, stay out of jail, and take care of their responsibilities. It doesn't erase the addiction, but it makes life doable again.
Suboxone or Methadone?
Both methadone and suboxone have been successful at this, but it is clear that suboxone has some safety advantages over methadone. Suboxone can offer you a way forward out of the trap of addiction to opioids, and that is why we have established a suboxone clinic in Indianapolis.
Methadone can only be prescribed at a methadone clinic, which is separate from where people get the rest of their medical care. Suboxone can be prescribed by a regular doctor at a regular clinic, such as Bridges of Hope. At BOH, we realize that addiction is a medical problem just like any other kind of medical problem. People should be able to get their addiction care with the rest of their medical care.
Is Suboxone for Me?
Anyone who has trouble with narcotic addiction can benefit from suboxone. Whether you've lost your job, you've gotten in trouble with the law, or it's starting to devour your life, you might want to consider suboxone. Suboxone is just a pill that you take. Although it is a narcotic, it can still help you be functional. Suboxone does not get the narcotics out of the person's life, but it enables them to get things done and manage their lives.

Die Fortuna Liga 2019/20 (nach dem Sponsor, dem Sportwetten-Anbieter Fortuna) war die 27. Spielzeit der höchsten tschechischen Spielklasse im Fußball der Männer. Sie wurde am 12. Juli 2019 mit dem Spiel des FK Jablonec gegen die Bohemians Prag eröffnet und endete aufgrund der COVID-19-Pandemie verspätet und ohne die Austragung von sechs Partien der Abstiegsrunde am 24. Juli 2020.

Titelverteidiger und amtierender Pokalsieger war Slavia Prag.

Spielbetrieb während der COVID-19-Pandemie
Nach Abschluss des 24. Spieltags am 9. März 2020 wurde der Spielbetrieb aufgrund der COVID-19-Pandemie bis auf Weiteres eingestellt und zum 23. Mai mit einem Nachholspiel des 23. Spieltags – ohne Zuschauer – wieder aufgenommen.

Modus
Die 16 Mannschaften spielten zunächst in 30 Runden je zweimal gegeneinander.

So spielten die besten sechs Mannschaften um die Meisterschaft, die Plätze 7 bis 10 in den Europa-League-Play-offs und die Ränge 11 bis 16 in den Abstiegs-Play-outs.

Nach Abschluss der Finalrunden wäre der Letztplatzierte direkt abgestiegen, aufgrund von COVID-19-Infektionsfällen bei einem Teilnehmer wurde die Saison jedoch bei noch sechs ausstehenden Partien vorzeitig beendet und die Abstiegsregelung ausgesetzt. Der Meister und der Vizemeister qualifizierten sich für die Qualifikationsrunde zur UEFA Champions League, der Dritte und Vierte für die Qualifikationsrunden zur UEFA Europa League, ebenso wie der Sieger aus dem Play-off-Finale (Fünfter gegen die beste Mannschaft der Halbfinalspiele).

Turkey crowns are a gratuitous waste of food, time and money
Turkey crowns? What's the point?
KellyBronze Wild Turkey | Photo: www.kellybronze.co.uk
Each year, approximately 10 million turkeys are enjoyed in the UK on Christmas Day. While King Henry VIII is often considered the first English monarch to enjoy turkey, Edward VIII eventually made eating turkey fashionable at Christmas – a luxury until the 1950s, when refrigerators became commonplace in standard homes.
In recent years, however, the turkey crown has risen in popularity, with around 70 per cent of turkeys purchased at Christmas being either a crown or pre-prepared joint. These findings from research conducted by Paul Kelly, Managing Director of luxury turkey brand KellyBronze, re-ignites the crown vs whole bird debate amongst British consumers.
First and foremost, the issue of optimum flavour arises with the selection of a crown over the full bird. A pre-prepared joint with the legs and wings removed, turkey crowns are completely bereft of the leg meat – the proverbial jewel in the crown of almost every bird, harbouring dark meat considerably richer than the often bland breast meat. Boneless crowns are even less exciting.
Already widely considered a dry, unappetising bird by a huge number of Brits (YouGov research from 2016 suggests 48 per cent opt for turkey alternatives at Christmas), crowns provide white meat with considerably lower fat content. While the white breast meat is, arguably, healthier, it's the fat which keeps the bird succulent when roasted properly. Moreover, in addition to featuring additional bones (promising further bone marrow) essential for opulent, revitalising stocks, full birds also contain often discarded cuts and offal which easily lift gravies or enrich stuffing when fried in a little butter and finely chopped or blended.
Turkey expert Paul Kelly also highlights a wider sustainability issue in his findings on the soaring popularity of turkey crowns. While public perception suggests crowns are easier to cook, hundreds of thousands of legs and wings are thus wasted in production. An alarming finding considering the UK's renewed popular focus on reducing food waste – a topic that has been so frequently reported in recent years.
Photo: www.kellybronze.co.uk
Price is another key component in the consumer argument for the rise in popularity of the turkey crown, with many believing crowns are a cheaper alternative to a whole bird. With this, Paul Kelly has kept an eye on the cost of whole birds as opposed to crowns for the past couple of years. Considering the average 2017 price per kilogram of fresh, standard and basted turkeys across a number of UK retailers, including the 'big four' supermarkets (Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons) and the likes of Aldi, Lidl, Marks and Spencer and Waitrose, the average cost per kilogram of whole turkeys are 44 per cent less than the cost of turkey crowns.
Speaking on the often-underrated benefits of having a whole bird at Christmas, Paul Kelly says:
"The shocking truth that a turkey crown is nearly double the cost per kg of a whole bird should be reason enough to make the switch this year. All turkey producers add the cost of the legs that are removed on to the price of the crown, so when you buy a crown you have paid for the whole bird regardless. With all the amazing recipes that use the leftovers from a whole bird, there is no excuse for buying a crown. There are however so many other benefits to cooking a whole bird. First of which is the ability to make a good stock – you need the bones from the legs and back which contain the bone marrow to create a delicious stock, which can then be used to add bundles of flavour to other dishes.
"Another of the glorious things about cooking a whole turkey at Christmas is the leftovers, which more often than not consists of the hugely under-appreciated dark meat. Whilst it is true that dark meat, i.e. that of the legs and thighs, is slightly higher in cholesterol and fat, it's predominately the heart-healthy mono and polyunsaturated kinds. Dark meat also contains more iron, zinc, riboflavin, thiamine and vitamins B6 and B12 than white meat. The British public need to be less fearful of a whole bird, especially a KellyBronze. They are so quick and easy to cook; you'll wonder why you didn't have one before!"
What's more, the KellyBronze Managing Director (and Guinness World Record holder for carving and plucking turkeys) has shared a selection of simple steps to cook entire birds to perfection this Christmas.
How to cook a whole turkey
Take the turkey out of the fridge and leave to stand for at least two hours, allowing it to reach room temperature before cooking.
Preheat your oven to 180°C, or 160°C for fan ovens.
Remove any trussing/string from the bird (and the pack of giblets from inside the cavity, if provided) and place in to a large roasting tin, breast down.
Add your favourite vegetables to the tin along with one pint of water and the giblets, and season well.
Place in to the preheated oven, with no foil.
Remove from the oven halfway through cooking, turn the bird over and puncture right through the thighs. Season well before returning to the oven.
Check the core temperature using a meat thermometer 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
Remove from the oven when the core temperature reaches just under 65°C, and leave to stand for a minimum of 30 minutes before carving. Do not cover with foil!

Corie Martin from Western Kentucky shared her study on what mattered to the students in her incoming class in their social communities. She found that surprisingly, academics, finances, and outcomes DON'T MATTER to her students. So she set out find out what DOES matter to them.
Over the course of a year, she interviewed higher ed social media administrators from across the country, to find out what they were doing, and reached out to students over the summer at schools from a variety of schools (public/private, large/small, from all regions of the country). She utilized some of the private communities, including the Schools App, and followed hundreds of threads and thousands of comments. Her findings were amazingly consistent across all communities, no matter gender, race, or any other identifier.
Her goal was to discover whether students who engage with HESM admins during the yield period were more likely to enroll (Vincent Tinto states: an engaged student is a retained student).
HESM admins are using social media groups: to offer customer service, for personal engagement, to provide a student-friendly space, and to generate excitement about their institution and their decision to enroll. She found that most HESM admins are dedicated, caring, 24/7/365 employees, who are trying our best to understand student behavior. Corie referenced some of the resources available to us, including the E-Expectations report and Danah Boyd's It's Complicated.
* roommate – Who will it be?
* orientation – I'm going to Orientation. Will you be there?
* res life – Where will I live?
* "follow me" – GroupMe, anyone?
* interests – What I like to do?
* transportation – How are you getting to campus?
NOTHING about finances our outcomes, however! We need to get into the things that matter.
Social acceptance matters. How will we let students know that "you will be yourself" on our campus? That "you'll be a part of our family" on our campus? "Here's what kind of job you can get?" isn't it.
Their interests matter. Help them see how they can stretch their wings and be the best version of themselves at your school.
Support matters. Answer their questions, and do it on THEIR schedule, not yours.
Functional processes matter. If a link's not working, you're not going to hear about anything else, and they're going to be mad about it. We have the ability to make our websites mobile — why aren't you doing it?
Excitement matters. They're thrilled. PLAY UP THAT EXCITEMENT.
Missed opportunities abound; if we're giving them the space, we need to be there to help. All. The. Time. If you don't have the time, find people in housing, parking, or dining and admissions and bring them on board. Our job is to provide a safe, supportive space, and to be available. And we need to convince the suits upstairs that we need the money and people on the front lines to make that happen.
* Provide a space for students to gather. Facebook is still a thing!
* Stay out of the way… until you're needed. They may not think they want us there — until it's 2am and they're panicked about something.
* Post relevant, helpful information. Get ahead of the questions you know are coming.
* Engage! Answer questions, welcome them.
* Give opportunities for them to share what matters to them. They like taking selfies — so feed that! ASU did a #ForksUpFriday and encouraged students to share… and they did.
* Be the conduit. DON'T PASS THE BUCK and don't let them fall. Get them where they need to be. We open the door; we pave the way; and we build the future.


• Why they are great - They are considered environmentally friendly because they can be reused several times. This way, you can minimize your waste. A child can easily use several disposable plastic pouches in one week, so imagine the impact you can make on the environment when you start making your kids use eco-friendly food pouches.
• Not all food pouches are created equal – They differ in material, quality, size, and features. So, be sure to look into how they were made and the materials used to construct them, and make sure that they are appropriate for your needs. Some of the best ones are made of bacteria resistant and durable silicone, and free of PVC, Phthalate, and BPA.
• Easy to use – Simply prepare your food and pour it into the eco-friendly food pouch. Be sure to look into healthy smoothie, puree, and yogurt recipes to put in your pouch.
• Special features – There are eco-friendly food pouches that are designed to be easily handled by children, so they come with features that will prevent leaks, spills, and mess. Moreover, the pouch can be squeezed, so food can be dispensed effortlessly. Make sure the pouch is freezer-safe.
• Easy to clean – High-quality eco-friendly food pouches are dishwasher safe and they dry up fast, so you can use them again soon.

It's been a longish time, big little update on the work in progress.
First up is the "return of the special agent". 3 framed piece to work with the hear, see, speak theme.
then we got the piece for the article on reality tv, or emo tv for short..
this one is not finished yet , but this is the rough outline for it. Now the fun part starts. After that I have to do 2 little illustrations to accompany it.
I also finished a poster for the bookweek assigment, with the theme: the praise of the foolishness. I'm quite happy with that one will post asap.


Yesterday I wrote of reading my posts and reliving some of the events that have happened this year. I also got to reading some of the original blog that started the idea to do a year of social experiments – "30 Days of Home Cooking". The pursuit of cooking skills. The change in my eating habits to benefit not only my health, but my way of interacting with food. It was April 2010 when I taught myself how to bake a chicken breast, cook with leeks, make pizza dough from scratch. I spent one month eating only home-cooked food. It's a cringe-worthy read for me – did I really get that excited about making pasta without the jar of pre-made sauce and talk about smoked meat on bagels as home cooked?
My cooking skills have developed enormously since I didn't know how to make a soup or pasta sauce from scratch two years ago. I would actually call myself a cook now. I now cook at home most of the week, eating leftovers the others nights, or sometimes eating out (but not nearly as often as I used to). I rarely use pre-packaged items, instead opting to make whatever it is myself. This past year in particular I've really learned a lot about what to do in the kitchen. Cooking 30 Countries taught me about about international food. Vegan month taught me how to cook healthy meals. And Life at the Poverty Line taught me how to do it all cheaply.
What I find the most enlightening, however, of all that I've learned about preparing food is not to forget the simple things. I was so excited during 30 Days of Home Cooking when I was hungry at work and my co-worker taught me about avocado on toast. Why I had never tried that before is beyond me. And my raw vegan foods post in October really hit home all the nutrients in simple, fresh foods.
I do love to cook a good curry now, or throw together a delicious soup from leftovers in the fridge. But I also recognize the value in a simple snack of avocado, lemon juice, and a little salt and pepper. My dream two years ago was to change my eating habits, take time to cook, and eat more real food. I've definitely accomplished this, and I couldn't have done it without all the research and experimentation I did this year.


That a story persists for many years does not prove its truthfulness. Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the tooth fairy survive in the popular imagination. But a twenty-century tenure at least merits our consideration. What deep human longings does the Christmas story portray? Why has it connected so profoundly with millions of people? Is the story factual? Curiosity prompts further investigation.
Second, the Christmas story is also . . .
Joseph and his pregnant wife Mary traveled a long distance to Bethlehem to register for a census but could not obtain proper lodging. Mary bore her baby and laid him in a manger, a feeding trough for animals. Eventually, King Herod sought to kill the baby. Warned of impending risk, Joseph and Mary fled to Egypt, then returned home after Herod's death.
Imagine how Mary felt. Traveling while pregnant would be challenging. Fleeing to another nation lest some king slay your son would not be pleasant. Yet she, Joseph, and Jesus survived the ordeal.
So, the Christmas story is important because it has endured and because it speaks of hope and survival.


- Ronin and Ganthet continued deeper into the wreck they were exploring, coming upon a processing bank of some kind. While scavenging for parts, the scattered debris began assembling itself into towering construct which assualted them. A purplish, tentacled creature then approached them, finally convincing Ronin to take a bite from its bread-like outer flesh. Consuming this part of the creature seemed to sate it in some way, but Ronin the last hour or so of his memory replaced by a scene of burning wreckage.
- As the caravan awaited inspection outside the city, Piper witnessed an heated exchange between the town guard and a well-armored woman who'd flown up to the city on a large, reptilian creature. The Xi-drake seemed able to see Piper, and made some movement toward her as if to investigate until the disagreement at the gate became physical. An Aeon Priest arrived on the scene and had some success diffusing the situation. The caravan was permitted entry, but Piper decided to stay and listen to the conversation between the priest and the Angulan knight. Apparently, she had come from Dynafel in search of a varjellan fugitive.
- Naran proceeded through the village after the spick whom she'd been sent to assist by the old woman. The two of them dove into a large circular pool and made for a metal artifact protruding from its center - apparently the source of the painful pulses that were emanating through the settlement. After some doing, the two were able to stop the pulses by more fully activating the device, which was now firing a bright blue beam up into the sky.

ULA to debut unflown variant of Atlas 5 rocket later this year
February 11, 2020 Stephen Clark

The last unflown variant of United Launch Alliance's Atlas 5 launcher — fitted with a five-meter fairing and a single strap-on solid rocket booster — will carry a pair of U.S. military space surveillance satellites toward geosynchronous orbit from Cape Canaveral late this year, according to a Space Force spokesperson.
Atlas 5 rockets have flown 82 missions since August 2002, but none have launched in the Atlas 5's "511" configuration with a 5.4-meter-diameter (17.7-foot) payload fairing and a single solid-fueled motor providing an additional boost during the first 90 seconds of flight.
That will change with the launch of the next pair of satellites for the Space Force's Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program. Built by Northrop Grumman, the satellites are designed to help the military track and observe objects in geosynchronous orbit more than 22,000 miles (nearly 36,000 kilometers) over the equator.
The GSSAP 5 and 6 satellites launching on the Atlas 5-511 rocket will join four others deployed by two Delta 4 rockets in 2014 and 2016.
The Atlas 5-511 rocket will take off with 1.2 million pounds of thrust from the single solid-fueled booster and the first stage's kerosene-fueled RD-180 main engine. According to ULA, the Atlas 5-511 can carry up to 11,570 pounds (5,250 kilograms) to an elliptical geostationary transfer orbit. Its capacity to low Earth orbit is roughly 24,250 pounds (11,000 kilograms), according to ULA performance data.
The Atlas 5 rocket was designed by Lockheed Martin to fly in up to 20 different configurations, giving engineers the ability to "dial" the rocket's power and payload volume to meet the needs of each specific mission. Mission planners have the option of flying a four-meter or five-meter diameter payload fairing, and can fly the Atlas 5 with up to five strap-on solid boosters, or none if the mission doesn't need them.
The Atlas 5's Centaur upper stage can fly with one or two RL10 engines, depending on mission requirements. So far, all but one Atlas 5 launch has flown with the single-engine Centaur upper stage.
The exception is on launches with Boeing's Starliner capsule, which launches with a dual-engine Centaur stage. There are no other missions on the Atlas 5 launch schedule using the dual-engine Centaur stage.
The addition of the unique Atlas 5 configuration for Starliner missions and the lack of use of other dual-engine Centaur variants effective leaves 11 Atlas 5 versions that will have flown at least once before the rocket's retirement in the coming years. ULA is developing the upgraded Vulcan Centaur rocket to replace the Atlas and Delta rocket families.
The most-used version of the Atlas 5 to date is the "401" variant with a four-meter fairing and no solid boosters. The Atlas 5-401 has flown 38 times, including the first Atlas flight in 2002.
Lockheed Martin merged its Atlas rocket program with Boeing's Delta family in 2006 to create United Launch Alliance.
ULA has around around Atlas 5 missions planned this year — all from Cape Canaveral — including the successful launch of the Solar Orbiter mission Sunday night for the European Space Agency and NASA.
Solar Orbiter used the "411" variant of the Atlas 5 rocket with a four-meter (13.1-foot) payload shroud and a single strap-on solid-fueled booster. The Atlas 5-411 configuration has launched six times to date.
With asymmetrical thrust countered by steering from the Atlas 5's RD-180 main engine, the Atlas 5-511 and -411 configurations are unique among launchers currently in service. The ability to add a single booster allows customers to pay for just enough capacity for their payloads, rather than buying a more larger, more expensive Atlas 5 variant.
Other Atlas 5 flights scheduled in 2020 include the launch of the Space Force's sixth Advanced Extremely High Frequency communications satellite on the most powerful Atlas 5 version — the 551 with a five-meter fairing and five boosters — no earlier than March 13. A flight with the Space Force's X-37B spaceplane is scheduled for May using an Atlas 5-501 with a five-meter fairing and no strap-on motors
The launch of NASA's Mars 2020 rover is planned in July on an Atlas 5-541 with a five-meter fairing and four solid rocket boosters.
Later this year, a classified payload for the National Reconnaissance Office — the U.S. government's spy satellite agency — will lift off on an Atlas 5-531 rocket with a five-meter fairing and three solid-fueled augmentation motors in the August or September timeframe. That mission is designated NROL-101.
Then an Atlas 5 rocket will launch the GSSAP 5 and 6 satellites in the fourth quarter of 2020 — between the beginning of October and the end of December — on a mission designated AFSPC-8.
Atlas 5 rocket hardware for the first piloted test flight of Boeing's Starliner crew capsule is also in storage at Cape Canaveral for a possible launch some time this year. But Boeing and NASA are investigating software errors that plagued the Starliner's first unpiloted orbital test flight in December, and officials have not decided whether Boeing must perform another demonstration flight without astronauts before proceeding with a crewed launch.
Starliner missions fly on a special variant of the Atlas 5 without a payload shroud. Two solid rocket boosters are mounted on the first stage to give the Starliner and extra boost into space, and the Atlas 5's Centaur upper stage is fitted with two RL10 engines instead of one.

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has dismissed claims that Scunthorpe's push for promotion is a footballing fairytale ahead of tomorrow's top of the table clash between the two clubs.
Over 25,000 people are expected to watch the League One leaders take on Graham Alexander's side at Bramall Lane and although Wilder is full of respect for the visitors' achievements - "They're up there for a reason" - he rubbished suggestions United's nearest rivals are striking a blow for less high-profile clubs.
"I don't think it's 'little old Scunthorpe.' People inside football know what happens, in terms of budgets," Wilder said. "They might not have 15,000 supporters, but they have a lot of things going for them; moving into a new stadium, a chairman (that) has heavily backed that club, brought in a lot of good players and been going at it for a year now, building things up.
United face third-placed Bolton Wanderers next weekend before travelling to play-off contenders Rochdale on March 4.
United remained five points clear of Scunthorpe after drawing with Bristol Rovers in midweek. Wanderers are two further adrift but have played fewer matches than any other team in the top six.
Denying his comments represent an attempt to ramp-up the pressure on Alexander's team, Wilder said: "I am not going to spin it, saying it's just another three points, it isn't. It's a big game.
"Whoever comes out on top on Saturday, will be feeling really good. Scunthorpe would, because of their form recently, that will give them a big lift. They will see that as a massive gain for them.
United's preparations for the fixture received a boost yesterday when it was confirmed both James Hanson and Simon Moore have recovered from injury. Hanson missed Tuesday's trip to the south-west due to a slight groin problem while Moore received a nasty blow to the face during a second-half collision.

The Hera's Journey: Feminine Perspectives on the Call to Adventure
Many are familiar with Joseph Campbell's monumental work in Comparative Mythology, especially his identification of the hero's journey or the 'monomyth'. Campbell identified that the stories found in cultures around the world had similar – or even identical – structure, indicating an undeniable universality of the main theme or teaching. This theme of the 'hero's journey' outlines the key stages each hero must go through for his initiation into herohood.
But the language of the monomyth presupposes one significant detail that speaks perhaps more to Campbell's generation than to relevance in the 21st century. The hero's journey is presented from a masculine perspective and has always been approached as applicable regardless of gender. If a female protagonist is dropped into the story, the mythic structure has always remained unchanged.
Powerful as the hero's journey is as a mythic structure, it does not speak to a key monumental difference between the hero's journey and the hera's journey. This experiential workshop presents a revisioning of Campbell's monomyth with the particularities of a feminine call to the adventure of reclaiming wholeness. With a combination of lecture, storytelling and creative expression, we will illuminate the signposts that mark the hera's journey from containment to freedom and empowerment.
Workshop cost: $20 + hst

WATCH: Ottawa Senators and Montreal Canadiens Game 3 line brawl
by Jerry Gaul, Posted: May 5, 2013
It doesn't take long for players to allow bad blood to boil over and tempers to flare in a best-of-seven series, even in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Nowhere is that more evident than in the only first round series to feature two teams from Canada. The Ottawa Senators and the Montreal Canadiens took to the ice for Game 3 in an attempt to take a 2-1 series lead with their series tied at one game apiece on Sunday.
Ottawa dominated Game 3 at home and when Senators center Kyle Turris scored seven minutes into the third period for a 4-1 lead, things turned ugly.
The ensuing face-off after the goal featured a good, old-fashioned line brawl between the two teams. Check out the video, courtesy of Greg Wyshynski, editor of the Puck Daddy blog on Yahoo! Sports:
It didn't stop there either. In all 210 of the game's 236 penalty minutes and 11 game misconducts were handed out in the third period alone. The game's referees and linesman had their hands full as seven fights needed to be broken up.
When it was all said and done, the Senators escaped with a 6-1 win for a 2-1 series lead.
More importantly, Game 4 (scheduled for Tuesday night at 7 p.m.) and the rest of this series are must-watch games. Stay tuned.
