Walter VARGAS, Plaintiff–Appellant, v. The CITY OF NEW YORK, Defendant–Respondent. The Legal Aid Society, Bronx Defenders, Brooklyn Defender Services, Community Service Society of New York, Center on the Administration of Criminal Law at New York University School of Law, Center on Race, Law and Justice at Fordham University Law School, Katal Center for Health, Equity, and Justice, and Brooklyn Community Bail Fund, Amici Curiae.
Richter, J.P., Manzanet–Daniels, Kapnick, Kern, Moulton, JJ. Lincoln Square Legal Services, Inc., New York (Martha Rayner of counsel), for appellant. Zachary W. Carter, Corporation Counsel, New York (Claude Platton of counsel), for respondent. The Legal Aid Society, New York (Zohra Ahmed of counsel), for amici curiae.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (James E. d'Auguste, J.), entered April 17, 2017, which denied plaintiff's motion for summary judgment and for a declaration that the New York Police Department's policy and practice of stops of subway passengers who commit transit infractions for the purpose of conducting "transit recidivist" checks violates the New York State Constitution's prohibition against unreasonable search and seizure, and granted defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the first amended complaint, affirmed, without costs.
The police officers had probable cause to arrest plaintiff based on their observation that he committed the transit offense of passing between two subway cars on a moving train (see 21 NYCRR §§ 1050.9[d], 1050.10[a]; CPL 140.10[1][a]; Penal Law § 10[1] ). Although we have concerns about the information in the transit database, we do not reach this issue in light of our holding on probable cause. Once plaintiff was arrested, the officers were permitted to conduct a search incident to arrest (see People v. Rodriguez, 84 AD3d 500, 501 [1st Dept 2011], lv denied 17 NY3d 861 [2011] ).
I agree with the majority that the police officers had probable cause to arrest plaintiff based on their observation that he committed the transit offense of passing between two subway cars on a moving train (see 21 NYCRR §§ 1050.9[d], 1050.10[a]; CPL 140.10[1][a]; Penal Law § 10[1] ). I also agree with the majority that plaintiff's attempt to conceal a marijuana cigarette from the officers gave them probable cause to believe plaintiff had committed a crime, i.e., felony tampering with physical evidence (PL 215.40[2] ), and misdemeanor criminal possession of marijuana (PL 221.10[1] ).
It must be said that plaintiff's designation as a transit recidivist did not give the officers a separate basis to arrest plaintiff (see People v. Smith, 44 N.Y.2d 613, 622 [1978] ). The definition of "transit recidivist" at the time of plaintiff's arrest encompassed not only persons convicted of crimes, but those with prior arrests in the transit system or prior felony arrests within New York City.1 This overbroad classification subverted the presumption of innocence and likely violated state sealing laws.2
As amici note, the database was likely contaminated by sealed arrests and summons histories and, as such, ran afoul of provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law that require that the records of any criminal prosecution terminating in a person's favor or by way of noncriminal conviction be sealed (see CPL §§ 160.50. 160.55, 170.55, 170.56). Statistics cited by the amici indicate that in 2016 alone, over 50% of all criminal cases arraigned in New York City Criminal Court were terminated in favor of the accused, and accordingly entitled to sealing.3 From 2007 through 2015 an average of 23% of all criminal summonses were dismissed for facial insufficiency.4 Unless otherwise permitted by law, no one, including a private or public agency, can access a sealed record, except with a court order upon a showing that justice so requires.
The presence of arrest and summons data in the database also undercut the presumption of innocence insofar as persons were threatened with punishment on account of allegations that may have been unsubstantiated or dismissed.
It bears noting that this is not the first NYPD database to have included unlawfully broad data. NYPD previously recorded the name of every individual stopped and frisked as recently as 2010, until forced by a federal lawsuit to discontinue the practice.
Finally, there is little doubt that the "transit recidivist" database had a disproportionately negative effect on black and Hispanic communities, perpetuating this City's history of overpolicing communities of color.
1. The policy has since been amended and no longer applies to those with prior arrests.
2. It is unclear from the record why, precisely, plaintiff was deemed a transit recidivist under the policy in effect at the time of his arrest in 2010.
3. See Criminal Court of the State of New York Annual Report 2016, at 17.
4. See Stipulation and Proposed Preliminary Approval Order at ¶ 5, Stinson v. City of New York, 282 FDR 360 [SD N.Y.2012] ).

Suspect in Newton supermarket stabbing to be held at Bridgewater Hospital
March 27, 2018 at 9:50 pm EDT
Suspect in Newton supermarket stabbing to be held at Bridgewater Hospital Suspect in Newton supermarket stabbing to be held at Bridgewater Hospital
NEWTON, Mass. — The man accused in a supermarket stabbing in Newton was set to appear in court on Tuesday.
The victim, a 79-year-old man, was shopping in the Star Market on Commonwealth Avenue when he was stabbed.
Matthew Muradov, 23, of Newton, was arrested after the incident.
Muradov was set to appear in court Tuesday for armed assault with intent to murder a person over 60 and assault and battery over 60.
23 yr old man charged with stabbing 79 year old man inside Newton Star Market will be held at Bridgewater State Hospital. Suspect's attorney told me he has a long history of mental illness. @boston25

MORE: Parents of suspect in random supermarket stabbing say son is mentally ill
According to prosecutors, Muradov became angry after the victim, Dr. David Harris, accidentally bumped into him with his shopping cart.
"Words were exchanged between the two parties, at which point Mr. Muradov became upset was yelling at Harris something to the effect of 'get away from me,'" said one prosecutor.
Muradov is accused of stabbing Harris with a kitchen knife in the arm and back.
His father was with him in the store buying water when the attack occurred.
"I didn't even see what happened over there because I saw him leave the store and I paid for my water and went out for him," the father said. "I said, 'Matt, what happened?' And police pulled over and someone started pointing at him.
That's when Muradov was arrested.
"Once on the scene, officers found the suspect standing outside the store," Newton police Lt. Bruce Apotheker said. "The suspect was placed under arrest."
Muradov's father didn't want to appear on camera but said his son suffers from a mental illness, but was released from a hospital early.
"My kid, he was admitted to the hospital. He's been there for four weeks. He's been released early because insurance won't cover his stay in the hospital," his father said.
He said his son was in the hospital and his medication was cut-off just days before Monday's attack.
He said the 23-year-old hears voices in his head and has experienced hallucinations for years.
Dr. Harris was taken to a hospital to be treated for injuries described as non-life-threatening.
Just one day after he was stabbed twice, he had already gone back to work.
Boston 25 News spoke briefly with Dr. Harris as he arrived home, who said he feels okay.
To him, the focus of the incident isn't his own injuries, but rather the issues surrounding mental health and getting treatment.
While he didn't want to discuss the attack in person on Tuesday, the day after the attack, he said there will be a time when he may speak up about the issue, but that right now is not the time.
Dr. Harris's employer released the following statement:
"Dr. David Harris is already back to work today at Boston Children's Hospital and he's doing fine. He wanted to share a message that access to mental health care is vital and it is important that patients are given an appropriate amount of treatment time before they are discharged."
Muradov pleaded not guilty to the charges and is set to appear before a judge again on April 17.
He'll be held at Bridgewater State Hospital for at least the next 20 days.

Queen assassination attempt—terrifying video and how close the intruder got
The Queen's assassination attempt—intruder was arrested within 500 meters of her Majesty as would-be assassin's shocked family speak out
The Queen's assassination attempt—reports reveal that the intruder was arrested within half a kilometer of her Majesty and the would-be assassin's shocked family speak out.
The Queen's would-be assassin was arrested while allegedly armed with a crossbow within a short distance of where she was located.
The young man has been sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
In other royal news, Prince Philip death joke on Netflix comedy special 'too far' say viewers
In the days since the Queen's Christmas was disturbed by an armed intruder, reports regarding how close he got and his alleged intentions have been revealed.
The suspect in question, a 19-year-old man, was arrested for allegedly trying to assassinate the Queen with a crossbow on Christmas day at Windsor Castle. He was later sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
The man in question, who police have not yet named, was arrested shortly after 8.30am on December 25, 2021 after he was spotted on CCTV walking around the gardens after scaling an outer wall.
Terrifyingly, he was a mere 500 meters from the Queen's private apartments, inside the castle grounds, and was arrested while allegedly armed with a crossbow after scaling a spiked fence with a rope ladder.
A video, which The Sun reports came from the suspect's personal Snapchat account 24 minutes before his arrest, shows a man wearing a mask claiming that he intends to attempt to kill the Queen.
The man in the video says, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I've done and what I will do. I will attempt to assassinate Elizabeth, Queen of the Royal Family."
"This is revenge for those who have died in the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre," he added. "It is also revenge for those who have been killed, humiliated, and discriminated on because of their race."
Although there has been no statement from Buckingham palace regarding the incident, the Queen is believed to be in good spirits. However, this incident is sure to validate claims that the Queen and senior royals concerned by security changes

The week in concerts
Notes on the past week's concerts:
TUESDAY, NOV. 27, THE HIDEOUT — RICK RIZZO AND JANET BEAN: The Hideout's been hosting some shows lately in its front room, including a few recent gigs by Rizzo, the lead singer and guitarist for Eleventh Dream Day. This time, he was joined by his fellow Eleventh Dream Day member Janet Bean, who normally plays drums and sings. For this unamplified performance, she had jingle bells on her ankles; she also shook a tambourine and occasionally played a Melodica, while Rizzo played acoustic guitar. It was unusual to hear EDD's songs unplugged. The tunes are meant to rock, but it was cool to hear Rizzo and Bean's vocal harmonies and lyrics so clearly. They played several new songs, which will probably show up on the next Eleventh Dream Day record, whenever that comes out.
WEDNESDAY, NOV. 28, THE BURLINGTON — DAVID VANDERVELDE: This was the last of four Wednesday-night shows Vandervelde performed during his November "residency" at the Burlington; the only one that I managed to catch. He was in excellent form, playing several songs with buzzing guitar riffs and solos in the style of Neil Young and Crazy Horse. But as always, he also reveled in power-pop melodies. On this occasion, his songs reminded me more than a little bit of Badfinger. Can't wait to hear his next record. I showed up just in time to catch the last song and a half by Mazes, who seemed to be rocking pretty hard; and alas, I missed the first set of the night, by the Singleman Affair.
THURSDAY, NOV. 29, ALLSTATE ARENA — THE WHO: I hadn't been planning to see The Who until I got a last-minute offer for a ticket. I'm glad I went. The one time I'd seen The Who before was their "farewell" tour in 1989. And I was skeptical about the whole idea of Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend carrying on as "The Who" without either Keith Moon or John Entwistle. But as much as I'd prefer going in a time machine back to a Who concert circa 1967, they played a remarkably good show this time.
Daltrey's vocals stayed strong. Townshend twirled his arm in that trademark windmill, making jagged shards out of his rhythm chords. And several musicians filled out the rest of the sounds as they performed the entirety of their complex 1973 rock opera Quadrophenia, followed by a short string of some greatest hits: "Who Are You," "Behind Blue Eyes," "Pinball Wizard," "Baba O'Riley" and "Won't Get Fooled Again." They should've ended the show there, but they went on, with Daltrey and Townshend alone on the stage doing an acoustic duet version of "Tea & Theatre," from The Who's 2006 album Endless Wire. It was actually nice to hear the two of them playing by themselves, but the song paled in comparison to everything that had come before it. Still, all in all, a memorable night of music by one of the world's greatest rock bands — or what remains of it.
FRIDAY, NOV. 30, THE HIDEOUT — MIKE COOLEY: Patterson Hood gets the most attention in the Drive-By Truckers, but the other singer-songwriter-guitarist in the group, Mike Cooley, has been contributing great songs to the band's albums since the beginning. He rarely plays solo gigs, so it was a privilege to see him sitting down with a couple of acoustic guitars on the Hideout's stage. Cooley, who generally lets Hood do all the talking between songs at DBT shows, turned out to be a fairly talkative and wickedly funny guy. And what a pleasure to hear his songs in these plucked-acoustic arrangements, which often sounded quite a bit different than the full band versions. A friend who saw Cooley on Thursday night as well told me that he played a lot of different songs the previous night. As Cooley noted, he works without a set list, and he obligingly played some of the songs requested by enthusiastic fans. Highlights included "Zip City," "Checkout Time in Vegas," "Marry Me,""Carl Perkins' Cadillac" and "When the Pin Hits the Shell."
I had my camera at only one of these concerts, the Mike Cooley show. My photos:

My father did not tell me much about his childhood. And I, by stupidity, was not very interested in the details of his life … He seemed huge, severe, I saw him a little, he went out in the dark, came for a short time – in huge rubber boots, a hoodie and a whip. I was afraid of him. My father was a collective farm agronomist and was driving around the fields of villages. All of them were in the Orhei district.
On May, 21 he would be 110. Of the major events of the twentieth century only the collapse of the USSR did not happen during his life.
The boy Maurice, the first-born in the Romanian town of Braila at the family of Froim Braunstein and his wife, the beautiful Ernestina, nee Bernfeld, was born in 1907. In 1910, another young boy, Wilhelm, was born. In the same year their father, my grandfather, died. Mother after some time married again. Children lived – alternately – at different relatives, in Braila, in Ploiesti, then in Bucharest. Once, when my father and I were in Bucharest, I showed him the locked one synagogue I had visited the day before. He told me that he had been there with my grandfather when I was a child. It was a Sephardic synagogue. Father told how he remembered the black suits of men like from the 16th century, their appeal to each other "Don" and the Spanish speech. So the father called, for simplicity, Sephardic, Ladino.
Since my father's stories were sketchy, he sometimes recalled one or another episode, I will try and reproduce some of his memories.
As a child, I perceived the profession of the father as a given, not reflecting why a Bucharest teen, who had nothing to do with agriculture, had suddenly gone to study in France, for an agronomist, and why he immediately found himself in Palestine upon receipt of the diploma. Over time, everything was arranged in a harmonious picture: the father's stories about how they studied jiu-jitsu, walked with brass knuckles with his friends – most likely they were in the then created in Romania department of Beitar, and the subsequent study on the agronomist, after which he went on a steamboat, carrying cattle to Haifa, and living in a tent, and working on an orange plantation. The father consciously wished to participate in the construction of what soon became Israel.
It so happened that after living a year and a half in Palestine, he was forced to come to Bucharest, his mother fell seriously ill. It was not possible to return Back to Palestine. The British did not give a visa. Thus, he became one of seven Jewish agronomists in Romania. He became manager of the estates of a Romanian aristocrat, Count Konstantin Kosta-Foro. He was a man of progressive views who fought anti-Semitism in Romania. He was one of the founders and secretary of the Romanian League for Human Rights. For the publication, in French, of the pamphlet "La Roumanie et ses prisons" – "Romania and its prisoners" – the Syndicate of Bucharest journalists excluded the count from its ranks.
In June 1940 the successful Romanian agronomic career was abruptly cut short. My father was at military trainings in Tulce, near the unexpectedly formed new border with the USSR. The commander of the regiment for a given bribe gave the Jewish sergeant a firing note. I do not have details of how the father met his first wife to cross the border, and how they crossed it. Obviously – on foot, on the bridge over Prut, in Reni. Further, the father turned out to be a German spy (!!!) in Balti. Naturally, in the NKVD. Naturally, not knowing a word in Russian. He spent a couple of interesting weeks there.
My father was lucky. In Balti there was a seed-growing station, the chief was sent, but there was no agronomist. How the station commander learned from the NKVD chief that there was a Jew in the cellar, a refugee from Romania and a German spy is a mystery. In short, my father faced a choice: either – Siberia, or – the acceptance of Soviet citizenship and work at the seed-growing station. My father chose the second.


My dog loves the water buffalo tails! Very happy with quick order.
Since we don't do rawhide always on lookout for alternatives. Our Golden loves these. Longer lasting for a bigger dog.
This is a very nice, substantial chew that is comparable to the thickest bully sticks. My dog is a big bully stick fan and he liked this chew as well.

Energy UK responds to Minister's ETS comment
28 February 2019 .
Responding to comments on the Emissions Trading System (ETS) made by Energy and Climate Change Minster, Claire Perry at yesterday's Lords EU Energy and Environment Sub-Committee hearing, Energy UK's chief executive, Lawrence Slade, said:
"We were pleased to hear both the Minister and the Treasury confirm that they will be seeking to implement an UK ETS linked to the EU ETS as the best long-term carbon pricing mechanism to continue driving decarbonisation throughout the UK economy.
"As something we have been consistently calling for, it was also very encouraging to hear that work on this has already started. We look forward to working with and supporting the Government to ensure the delivery of a proven system from the start of 2021, which will give much needed clarity and certainty to industry."

Q: How to use culture for changing the datetime format I want to change the date format
CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("en-US");

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = ci;

string fromdate =(TxtFrom.Text);

string todate = (TxtTo.Text);

DateTime dt =DateTime.Parse(fromdate);

DateTime d =DateTime.Parse(todate);

_DivAPath.FROM_DATE = Convert.ToDateTime("d",ci);

_DivAPath.TO_DATE = Convert.ToDateTime("d",ci);

But it will show exception that the given Datetime is not a correct format.how to change the datetime function...
please explain

A: First, you don't need to actually change the culture if you want to parse or convert dates with a given CultureInfo, so this is unnecessary:
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = ci;

You can simply use the DateTime.Parse overload that accepts the culture:
DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse(fromdate, ci);

The exception is probably raised at Convert.ToDateTime("d",ci); since d is not a valid date ;)
Maybe FROM_DATE is a string property and you actually want to convert the datetime to a short-date-string, then you could either use:
_DivAPath.FROM_DATE = dt.ToString("d", ci);

or
_DivAPath.FROM_DATE = dt.ToShortDateString(); // uses the current-culture

A: You are passing the String "d" as a value to convert to DateTime. Pass d and dt without the quotation marks.

Q: PyQt5 + logging library I want to redirect all the logging to QPlainTextEdit. I have been able to achieve that by following this thread. However, I have a bit of problem understand the actual code:
import logging
import sys

from PyQt5.QtCore import pyqtSignal, QObject
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets

class Handler(QObject, logging.Handler):
    new_record = pyqtSignal(object)

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        super(logging.Handler).__init__()

    def emit(self, record):
        msg = self.format(record)
        self.new_record.emit(msg)

class Formatter(logging.Formatter):
    def formatException(self, ei):
        result = super(Formatter, self).formatException(ei)
        return result

    def format(self, record):
        s = super(Formatter, self).format(record)
        if record.exc_text:
            s = s.replace('\n', '')
        return s

class MyTextBox(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        container = QtWidgets.QGroupBox()
        layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout()

        self.text_box = QtWidgets.QPlainTextEdit()
        self.text_box.setReadOnly(True)
        layout.addWidget(self.text_box)

        self.btn = QtWidgets.QPushButton("Click me")
        layout.addWidget(self.btn)

        container.setLayout(layout)

        self.setCentralWidget(container)

        handler = Handler()
        logging.getLogger().addHandler(handler)
        logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.INFO)
        handler.new_record.connect(self.text_box.appendPlainText)

        self.btn.clicked.connect(self.heClickedMe)

    def heClickedMe(self):
        logging.debug('damn, a bug')
        logging.info('something to remember')
        logging.warning('that\'s not right')
        logging.error('foobar')

app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
dlg = MyTextBox()
dlg.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

So I have trouble understanding the "emit" method in Handler class. For example, is "emit" a method of logging.Handler or QObject? When will "emit" be called?

A: *

*is "emit" a method of logging.Handler or QObject?: To know the methods of the classes you have to use the docs and clearly emit is a method of logging.Handler.

*When will "emit" be called?: This method is called internally when using the debug, info, warning and error methods.


and did those feet - in Scythian times - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John?
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John?
...aren't they rather westernised i.e. potentially middle-ages, names for the four writers of the New Testament gospels. Four of the twelve founding members of the so-called Twelve Disciples of (the very greek-sounding) 'Iasus' or Jesus. Symbolism which has its origin in the Twelve Tribes (or Brothers) of Israel. The children of the Egypt-fleeing Tuthmoses? Twelve Tribes? Twelve Disciples?
The following British People [British History] video seems to be suggesting that long before, during and long after the sea-faring and land-warring Roman Empire dominated the Mediterranean territories, something called The Twelve Tribes of Israel may have land-migrated north from Palestine via Georgia in SW Russia into northern Poland, Germany and (eventually) Anglo-Saxon England.
So, the Twelve Lost Tribes and the arabic fled-fathers of 'Iasus' during the Roman Times are what the 'history books' came to call The Barbarians, those who defended themselves in the northern European hills and would eventually sack Rome? The "Celts" were the real "Christians" and must have converted the "Vikings"? Even the (pagan) Druids that (the pagan) Caesar slaughtered in Anglesey in AD 60, weren't the Druids Celts? The Celtic Cross is a functional Roman emblem via its use in punishment, but it becomes a Christian emblem? One that spread in the northern lands as a graphically bling'd Viking emblem. East meets west, or west meets east?
Surely, something's amiss here... I'm confused, really confused... maybe more research into Scythia will help my quest... maybe more research into Irish Neolithic Burial Mounds will help... but before then, watch.
RELEVANT SCYTHIAN HISTORY: okay, here's something interesting about the BARB-arian (or bearded) Scythians from researcher David Peterson (Peter's son, in Viking parlance)... oh, and Scythian burial mounds or Kurgans! which seem to have a similar structure, but pre-date, Egypt's pyramids. So, where does this tie into the above-mentioned Irish Neolithic Burial Mounds and the British burial mound clusters and stone circles which pre-date EVERYTHING except Gobekli Tepe in modern day Turkey?
VIRACOCHA SUPPLEMENTAL: and if you wanna really freak yourselves out following these Barbed-Arians around the world you could do no worse than look into the mythology of Ancient Peru and a bearded civilisation bringer aka 'the winged serpent' called VIRACOCHA.

Q: Set an If statement on a cell depending on the time frame I'm new here and currently I got an assignment in building up a Macro in Excel using VB. This is the logic I set up for a current cell:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Range("B:B")) Is Nothing Then

Range("D" & Target.Row) = Date

Range("E" & Target.Row) = Format(Now, "hh:mm:ss")

End If

End Sub

Every time someone enters information inside a cell in row B, it will automatically get the date and hour (kind of a log) when is entered. What I need is depending on the time frame I get on cell E, I need to get the shift that the information was computed based on the time frame from cell E into a different row.

*

*Shift 1 = 6:30am-2:30pm

*Shift 2 = 2:30pm - 11:30pm

*Shift 3 = 11:30pm - 6:30am

Any suggestions?

A: I just got the answer, it was add up 3 If statements as the following:
If Time > TimeValue("6:30:00") And Time <= TimeValue("14:30:00") Then Range("F" & Target.Row) = "1st Shift"

If Time > TimeValue("14:30:01") And Time <= TimeValue("23:30:00") Then Range("F" & Target.Row) = "2nd Shift"

If Time > TimeValue("23:30:01") And Time <= TimeValue("6:30:00") Then Range("F" & Target.Row) = "Overtime"

The Maya, one of the world's first literate people, created vast libraries and archives during the millennia-long span of their civilisation, most of which were destroyed by Spanish conquistadors in their zeal to remove "pagan" elements from their empire. Stone monuments known as stelae erected in cities and around temples were impervious enough to survive and have provided important clues from which historians have pieced together a picture of ancient Maya civilisation.
Now, in what Ms Fleming said is a respectful acknowledgement of the Maya civilisation, The Lodge at Chaa Creek is having Maya artisans carve a 2012 Winter Solstice stela using traditional tools and methods. The inscriptions will use Maya glyphs, the hieroglyph symbols used by the Maya.
Ms Fleming said a Maya family has been contacted and is currently finding a suitable stone. The meticulous carving will then begin so that the finished stela will be in place for a dedication to take place just before the huge December 21 celebrations. While there will be celebrations nationwide, Chaa Creek will be hosting observances within its own 365 acre nature reserve, with a candlelit procession from the Lodge to Tunichilen, an ancient temple located on the property.
"Given the importance of December 21 2012, we want to do something rather grand, but at the same time respectful. Chaa Creek sits directly within the Heartland of the Maya and a large proportion of our staff is of Maya descent. We've been hosting legitimate Maya research for years, so it is very important to us that the culmination of the 13th Bak'tun of the Maya Long Count is celebrated at Chaa Creek with the reverence and enthusiasm it deserves."
Ms Fleming said the weeks leading up to the 21 December Winter Solstice at Chaa Creek will feature Maya lectures and presentations as well as the construction of an authentic Maya village where guests can learn about Maya culture with hands-on workshops including arts and crafts, weaving, roof thatching, cooking and the preparation of Xocoatl, the Maya hot cacao drink from which all chocolate developed, as well as Maya medicinal plants, healing and other topics prior to the December 21st procession and stela dedication ceremonies.
"In the back of our minds there's this tongue-in-cheek picture of future archaeologists discovering the overgrown remains of Chaa Creek, which they may construe to be a village or ceremonial site, and stumbling across our own stela as a major archaeological find," she said.

Evidence reviewed by the Task Force demonstrates that the energy market is not serving rural Scotland well or fairly. It shows that off-gas rural households in particular incur significantly higher-than-average heating costs as a result of the range of contributory factors stacked up against them. These start with the greater exposure to harsh weather conditions and lower levels of energy efficiency and are compounded by higher levels of energy consumption.
This is particularly the case in off-gas areas where limited markets restrict consumer choice and increase costs of the alternative fuels and tariffs on offer. In chapters 4 and 5 we look at their experience of the energy market and, in particular, the factors which mean they are often paying among the highest rates on the market, whether for electricity or the non-regulated fuels such as heating oil and LPG.
UK Government analysis also projects that households who use electric heating will, on average, see an increase in their energy bills of around 1.4% of their total expenditure in 2020 as a result of social and environmental policies (compared with estimated decreases of between 0.4% and 0.8% for households using other fuel types).
Another significant factor is the impact of regional differences in network charges. The UK Government has put in place the Hydro Benefit Replacement Scheme ( HBRS) which is meant to protect consumers from the particularly high costs of distributing electricity in the north of Scotland. This benefit is paid for by consumers across the UK and reduces the excess network charges burden between the north and south of Scotland to 0.9p per unit. However even after the application of the HBRS support, consumers in the north of Scotland currently pay up to 2.1p more per unit of electricity from their dominant supplier than the same supplier's consumers pay in the south of Scotland - a difference which equates to an additional £21 for every thousand pounds spent on electricity. Moreover, VAT adds a further 5% to fuel bills which means that where consumption levels are much higher than average e.g. in the island groups, this can add up to an additional £300 on an annual bill.
There is therefore a strong case for keeping the level of the HBRS under review and revised so it fully recompenses North of Scotland consumers, and there is an equal case to closely scrutiny charges levied by dominant suppliers in their home region. Sustaining different network charges between the North of and South Scotland is not ideal and currently disfavours the North which means any amelioration of fuel poverty by Government needs to take this into account.
These factors combine to exacerbate the level of price disadvantage and results in fuel bills that are often two to three times higher than the UK national average. The Task Force calls on both the UK and Scottish Governments to recognise this rural Scottish price discrimination and adjust their policies, programmes and HBRS accordingly to remove this disadvantage and create a level pricing playing field.
The Task Force proposes the following 12 critical actions to address the fuel poverty inequalities being experienced by Scotland's rural population.
4.1 The Task Force supports the remedy proposed by the Competitions and Markets Authority ( CMA) ( Summary of AECs and remedies report, June 2016, para 20.24, h) namely that "….electricity suppliers of more than 50,000 customers be required to make all their single rate electricity tariffs available to all customers on restricted meters" and (unconditional) upon the replacement of their existing meter." CMA also wants Ofgem to closely facilitate the delivery of this outcome through appropriate guidance and regulation.
4.2. The Task Force recommends that suppliers with customers on restricted meters launch a proactive engagement campaign, targeting Priority Service Register customers in the first instance, to guide them through a thorough assessment of their heating needs and ensure that they are transferred, without delay, to the cheapest and otherwise most appropriate deal for their needs.
4.4 The Task Force recommends that Ofgem keep under close review progress made towards consumers switching (as recommended by CMA) away from the dominant supplier and intervenes in the market if suitable progress has not been made within 2 to 3 years (by 2019).
4.5 SG to work with Ofgem to ensure that all Pre-Payment ( PPM) customers also have access to tariffs and support (of the kind presently provided by "Our Power" to some local authority and Registered Social Landlord ( RSL) consumers) to enable them to access and manage the costs of their electricity as affordably and effectively as possible.
4.6 Local authorities and housing associations to further promote and support initiatives by new providers like "Our Power" to provide the highest quality energy price and customer care services to prepayment meter customers.
4.7 SG to investigate whether there is market supply failure in non-regulated fuels - to be defined as when there are fewer than 4 wh olly independent suppliers available within a defined market area - and, if and where they find evidence of detriment to consumers, to recommend the CMA investigate further.
4.8 SG to promote, support through advice line information and grant-incentivise collective buying clubs for domestic oil and LPG.
4.9 SG to promote and grant-incentivise the development and uptake of District Heating Schemes in those instances where they can deliver affordable warmth outcomes for rural consumers.
4.10 The Task Force welcomes the commitment given by the UK Government that all customers in the UK will share equally the cost of the new power station required in the Shetland Isles. We urge the UK Government to keep the level of the Hydro Benefit subsidy under review so that any further divergence in cost differentials, such as the impact from replacing sub-sea cables to island groups, is tackled and these customers do not face further detriment from higher costs.
4.11 UK Government to extend the 5p Remote Areas Fuel Duty Discount (which applies to diesel and petrol) to domestic oil and LPG wherever there is market supply failure - to be defined as when there are fewer than 4 wholly independent suppliers available within a defined market area - (definition supplied by Office of Fair Trading).
4.12 SG to identify and recommend ways to UK Government of removing the persistent oil price differentials that exist, whatever the highs and lows of the basic price per barrel, between Scotland, England and Northern Ireland.


The music legend received the lifetime achievement award at tonight's ceremony.
After a long night of performances, award-presenting, and acceptance speeches, the AMAs ended on a high note—by presenting Diana Ross with the Lifetime Achievement Award. After a montage of the music legend's best moments, from her time as a Supreme to her role in The Wiz and beyond, Ross herself took the stage for the final performance of the night.
She serenaded the crowd with some of her biggest hits, including "I'm Coming Out," "Best Years of My Life," and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough." But she didn't grace the stage alone. While performing her final song in the medley, she invited her grandchildren onstage. The sight was so sweet.
Eventually, Ross brought her entire clan onstage, too.
Themes of "love" and "family," which Ross noted in her acceptance speech, were present throughout the night. The singer made it clear that her Lifetime Achievement Award was a family affair the moment she stepped onto the red carpet. Her children, grandchildren, and closest loved ones accompanied her even then.
The acknowledgements towards Ross extended beyond her tribute at the end of the ceremony. Throughout the night, surprise clips aired showing other celebrities congratulating the legendary star on her award.
One video message came from former first couple, Barack and Michelle Obama, who are big fans of the Supremes alum. "When we heard Diana Ross was getting the Lifetime Achievement Award, our first reaction was, 'She doesn't have it yet?'" the former president said. "People from the ages of eight to 80 know every word of Diana Ross' songs," the former FLOTUS added. The former Commander-in-Chief awarded the singer with the Presidential Medal of Freedom last year.
Ross also received a special shoutout from Taylor Swift, who wasn't present at tonight's ceremony.
To make the evening even more exciting, Ross' daughter, Tracee Ellis Ross hosted the awards show. Besides giving shoutouts to her mom throughout the night, the Black-ish star honored her mother by wearing her outfit from her iconic twinning moment with Michael Jackson in 1981. It was just one of Tracee's many looks this evening.

Bombing that Led To Mass Execution
Maizy Cunningham
The past weekend was Easter weekend. Easter weekend is very important to many people, celebrating how the Lord has risen. While people around the world were celebrating and being with family, not everyone in Sri Lanka had that opportunity. Over 300 people ended up dying due to a bombing on Easter.
On Easter Sunday, bombings which were claimed by Isis had taken place. One of the suicide bombers that was identified had been arrested and later released by police. This information helped figure out who else had been involved in this attack. After this event, it had set off other attacks as well.
After the bombings, there were four Islamic State gunmen that had died while they had tried to attack a Saudi security building. After these two attacks, authorities had decided to conduct a large mass execution.
This was one of the largest mass executions in a single day in this country since 2016. A total of 37 citizens across the country have been accused for terrorism-related crimes. Along with these 37 beheaded citizens, there have been more than 70 suspects that have been taken into custody in a range of terrorism related topics.
On Tuesday, April 23, these citizens were beheaded all for the alleged terrorism-related crimes. Due to the beheadings, Ava Batrawy stated in her Times article saying, "The executions were likely to stroke further regional and sectarian tensions between rivals Saudi Arabia and Iran."
The Sri Lanka bombing and the death of over 300 people has led to Saudi Arabia taking action. Taking action by executing all the alleged terrorism citizens in the country.

Model Name: Cosmograph Daytona "Big Red"
Clasp/Buckle: Stainless steel Rolex deployant clasp stamped "H" and "78350"
Accessories: Accompanied by unnumbered Rolex Guarantee, sale tag, fitted presentation box and outer packaging.
Reference 6263 can be arguably considered the most iconic of the manually-wound Daytona models. Launched in the early 1970s and in production until 1987, it is defined by the screw pushers and the bezel with black acrylic insert. Such configuration has proven so timeless that the new Daytona model released in 2017 amply borrows its case/bezel design indeed from ref. 6263.
The present specimen is defined by its "Big Red" dial. The final evolution of the manual Daytona dial, it is found on the last specimen of reference 6263 (and its metal-bezel brethren 6265) and is characterized by a very prominent Daytona designation above the 6 o' clock subsidiary dial in bright red ink.
The present specimen is blessed with what can be considered a virtually flawless dial, and the condition of the case perfectly match that of the face: extremely sharp and well preserved with only minor signs of wear.

FCC's reconsideration of cell-phone flight ban not exactly winning cheers
Ed MorrisseyPosted at 2:01 pm on November 22, 2013
The FAA received plenty of kudos last month for finally acknowledging what everyone has known for years — that iPads and laptops don't actually interfere with flight operations, and that the ban on use during takeoffs and landings was absurd. They passed the buck on cell-phone usage to the FCC, though, which has long been concerned over the impact of connections on flights to the cell networks. Yesterday, the FCC announced that they would reconsider that ban:
The Federal Communications Commission said it will soon propose allowing passengers to use their cellphones on airplanes, setting up a debate that will pit the technically possible against the socially tolerable.
While cellphone use would still be restricted during takeoff and landing, the proposal would lift an FCC ban on airborne calls and cellular-data use by passengers once a flight reaches 10,000 feet.
That would remove a regulatory hurdle to in-flight calls, but it would be up to the airlines themselves whether to allow them. Airlines have said they would approach the matter cautiously because of strong objections from their customers. The carriers also would have to install equipment on their planes to communicate with cellphone towers on the ground.
The Federal Aviation Administration said last month that it would allow expanded use of electronic devices during flights. Technical concerns about the airborne use of gadgets have faded. But the debate about the social merits of allowing people to make phone calls with a captive audience in the close confines of an airplane cabin promises to be vigorous. At least one FCC commissioner's office was flooded Thursday by negative reaction to the proposal, an aide said.
The Washington Post reported on the backlash this morning:
Within hours of the announcement, consumers flooded the agency with protests.
One FCC commissioner received hundreds of e-mails complaining that the move would lead to unbearable noise pollution, an aide said. Passengers are already crammed into smaller seats and tighter rows, and being forced to listen to one another's calls would be yet another indignity, they wrote.
A petition quickly went up on the White House Web site Thursday, asking the Obama administration to stop the effort. "This would make an already cranky, uncomfortable travel experience exponentially worse, and as a frequent flier and concerned citizen, I think the administration needs to nip this in the bud," a resident from Richmond wrote.
There is a qualitative difference between allowing electronic devices such as tablets and laptops to operate during flight, and having your seatmate chatter all flight long into a cellphone about his personal life. The attendants hate the idea of cell phones in flight, because thanks to the nature of economy class, people are already cranky enough being crowded together like sardines for several hours of flight. If cell phone calls are allowed, it's only going to make the situation worse — which is why the airline unions opposed a similar proposal in 2004, and are likely to oppose it again this time around.
It's worth pointing out that even if the FCC changes its regulations to allow for cell phone use, the airlines will not be required to allow it on their flights. There could be some competitive pressure if one or two airlines do allow it, but so far there doesn't appear to be anywhere near the customer demand for cell-phone use on flights as there was for unrestricted tablet/laptop use. In fact, customers might try avoiding flights where cell phone use is allowed, or start demanding a cell-free section on flights to avoid at least some of the annoyance.
Listening to these conversations in the gate area is bad enough. Do we really need to be captive to them during flight, too?
